How they are linked
Korah confronted Aaron.
Moses charged Korah and his company with seeking the priesthood and asked, "what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?" Their censers became a memorial that none but Aaron's seed should offer incense.
that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the Lord; that he be not as Korah
Numbers 16:40, King James Version
Where they cross: Numbers 16:8-11

Every passage, in order
Numbers 16:8-11
8And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:
9Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?
10And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?
11For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the Lord: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?
Numbers 16:40
40To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the Lord; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the Lord said to him by the hand of Moses.
