# censor

noun

«censor» in the English dictionary: in Jewish tradition — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## In 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.

### Meaning

A spelling variant of "censer", a pan for burning incense. Today "censor" means a person who removes things that are thought improper. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/C/censor/#m1)
