Numbers 16:4-11

4And when Moses heard this, he fell face downward;

5and he spoke to Korah and all his company, saying, “In the morning the Lord will show who belongs to Him, and who is holy, and will bring him near to Himself; the one whom He will choose He will bring near to Himself.

6Do this: Take censers for yourselves, Korah and all your company,

7then put fire in them and place incense on them in the presence of the Lord tomorrow; and the man whom the Lord chooses shall be the one who is holy. You have gone far enough, you sons of Levi.”

8Then Moses said to Korah, “Hear now, you sons of Levi,

9does it seem but a small thing to you that the God of Israel has 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 to them;

10and that He has brought you near [to Him], Korah and all your brothers, sons of Levi with you? Would you seek the priesthood also?

11Therefore you and all your company are gathered together against the Lord; but as for Aaron, who is he that you murmur against him?”
