BRAGADAYJAH 442
Murmuring Continued
Now the Lord told Moses to
tell Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest to take up the censors out of the
burning and scatter the fire abroad, for the censors were hallowed. The censors
that were used to profane the worship of God were to be beaten flat and placed
as a covering over the altar as a reminder to the children of Israel.
So Eleazar the priest took the
bronze censors that they who were burnt had used, and made broad plates for a
covering of the altar. This was a reminder to the stranger as well as the
children of Israel that no one who is not of the seed of Aaron was to go near
to offer incense before the Lord as did Korah and his company.
Notwithstanding, the very
next day, the children of Israel began again to murmur against Moses and Aaron
accusing them of killing the people of the Lord. And so it came to pass that
when the congregation were gathered against Moses and Aaron that they looked
toward the tabernacle of the congregation and saw that the cloud had covered it;
and the glory of the Lord appeared and Moses and Aaron came before the
tabernacle of the congregation, and the Lord told Moses and Aaron to separate themselves
from among the congregation that He might consume them in a moment.
