Eighty of us priests went in after him. Told him: this isn’t yours to do, Uzziah. Only the priests, Aaron’s descendants, are set apart to burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary.

He stood there with the censer in his hand, raging at us. And while he raged, leprosy broke out on his forehead, right there by the incense altar. We rushed him out. He was hurrying to get out himself.
