Numbers 16:36
34 At their cries, all the people of Israel who were around them fled, saying, “The earth may swallow us too!”
35 And fire came forth from the LORD and consumed the 250 men who were offering the incense.
Then the LORD said to Moses,
37 “Tell Eleazar son of Aaron the priest to remove the censers from the flames and to scatter the coals far away, because the censers are holy.
38 As for the censers of those who sinned at the cost of their own lives, hammer them into sheets to overlay the altar, for these were presented before the LORD, and so have become holy. They will serve as a sign to the Israelites.”
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
