Exegesis
The participial construct makrivei ha-ktoret {מַקְרִיבֵי הַקְּטֹרֶת | māqrîvē haqqōreṯ} ‘offering the incense’ functions as a relative clause specifying those consumed. Preserving the vav consecutives and exact enumeration in translation maintains the Hebrew’s narrative force and emphasis on divine judgment.
Root and etymology
ק־ט־ר

In context — Numbers 16:35
