“Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are hallowed.”
as the LORD directed him through Moses. This was to remind the Israelites that no one except a descendant of Aaron should come to burn incense before the LORD, or he would become like Korah and his followers' — the altar-overlay becomes a perpetual sign (ot) warning against priestly usurpation; any attempt to offer incense outside the Aaronic priesthood invites Korah's fate.
