Censers

Rebellion in the camp. Korah and his henchman, and 250 more.
The earth swallows up the three instigators and their families.
Fire shoots out from the Eternal One and burns up the 250.

God says that the censers were offered to him and are now holy.
The men who offered the censers are dead.
The censers are hammered down into sheets to cover the altar,
A cautionary tale.

What to make of this horror story in the desert?
God is serious about his holiness. Obvious.
God purifies the gifts offered, even as he consumes the giver?
Horror has never been my favorite genre.
