### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Here it is a firepan for incense, the same as "censer". Korah and his company are told to take censers to test who is chosen to serve. Interpretation: Korah's challenge to Aaron's priesthood is settled by the incense test. The rebels' censers were afterwards hammered into a covering for the altar as a warning.
