To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses.

Verse 40 is found in chapter 16 of Numbers. The censers used in the rebellion are turned into plates to cover the altar. What was an instrument of rebellion becomes a memorial warning for Israel. The memorial function of the metal shows that even a past judgment must become a lasting lesson for subsequent generations. The altar remains associated with the legitimacy of the priestly service established by God.

En recuerdo a los hijos de Israel que ningún extraño que no sea de la simiente de Aarón, llegue a ofrecer sahumerio delante de Jehová, porque no sea como Coré, y como su séquito; según se lo dijo Jehová por mano de Moisés.
como recordatorio para los hijos de Israel, para que nadie ajeno al sacerdocio, que no sea descendiente de Aarón, se acerque a quemar incienso delante de Jehová y no llegue a ser como Coré y su comunidad, tal como Jehová le había dicho por medio de Moisés.
C'est un souvenir pour les enfants d'Israël, afin qu'aucun étranger à la race d'Aaron ne s'approche pour offrir du parfum devant l'Eternel et ne soit comme Koré et comme sa troupe, selon ce que l'Eternel avait déclaré par Moïse.
per ricordanza a’ figliuoli d’Israele; acciocchè alcun uomo straniere, che non è della progenie d’Aaronne, non si accosti per far profumo davanti al Signore; e non sia come Core, e come que’ del suo seguito; siccome il Signore avea comandato a Eleazaro, per Mosè
Por memorial para os filhos de Israel, que nenhum estranho, que não for da descendência de Arão, se chegue para acender incenso perante o SENHOR; para que não seja como Coré e a sua congregação, como o SENHOR lhe tinha dito por intermédio de Moisés,
給 以色列 人作紀念,為要叫 亞倫 子孫之外的人不得近前來,在耶和華面前燒香,免得他和 可拉 與同他一夥的人一樣,正如耶和華藉 摩西 所吩咐的。
