What Does Numbers 16:6 Mean?
Censers are vessels used for offering incense before the Lord—a priestly function. Moses invites the rebels to perform the role they covet and claim they can legitimately do.
The test is practical: if they can offer incense and have it accepted by God, their claim to priestly status will be validated. If not, God's distinction of roles will be evident.
