Numbers 16:35-40

JPS_ASV_Byz(i) 35 And fire came forth from the LORD, and devoured the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense. 36 (17:1) And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 37 (17:2) 'Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the fire-pans out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are become holy; 38 (17:3) even the fire-pans of these men who have sinned at the cost of their lives, and let them be made beaten plates for a covering of the altar - for they are become holy, because they were offered before the LORD - that they may be a sign unto the children of Israel.' 39 (17:4) And Eleazar the priest took the brazen fire-pans, which they that were burnt had offered; and they beat them out for a covering of the altar, 40 (17:5) to be a memorial unto the children of Israel, to the end that no common man, that is not of the seed of Aaron, draw near to burn incense before the LORD; that he fare not as Korah, and as his company; as the LORD spoke unto him by the hand of Moses.
