40 as a memorial for the sons of Israel, to the end that no strange+ man who is not of the offspring of Aaron should come near to make incense smoke before Jehovah,+ and no one might become like Koʹrah and his assembly,+ just as Jehovah had spoken to him by means of Moses.

19 And he went striking down the men of Beth-sheʹmesh,*+ because they had looked upon the ark of Jehovah. So he struck down among the people seventy men—fifty thousand men*—and the people began mourning because Jehovah had struck down the people with a great slaughter.+

16 However, as soon as he was strong, his heart became haughty+ even to the point of causing ruin,+ so that he acted unfaithfully against Jehovah his God and came into the temple of Jehovah to burn incense upon the altar of incense.+
