Numbers 16:1-15

1Now KorahH7141 sonH1121 of IzharH3324, the sonH1121 of KohathH6955 sonH1121 of LeviH3881, along with some ReubenitesH1121H7205—DathanH1885 and AbiramH48, sonsH1121 of EliabH446, and OnH203 sonH1121 of PelethH6431—conductedH3947 2a rebellionH6965 againstH6440 MosesH4872, along with 250H2572H3967 menH582 of IsraelH1121H3478 renownedH8034 as leadersH5387 of the congregationH5712 and representativesH7148 in the assemblyH4150. 3They came togetherH6950 againstH5921 MosesH4872 andH5921 AaronH175 and told themH559H413, “You have taken too muchH7227 upon yourselves!1 ForH3588 everyoneH3605 in the entireH3605 congregationH5712 is holyH6918, and the LORDH3068 is in their midstH8432. WhyH4069 then do you exaltH5375 yourselves aboveH5921 the assemblyH6951 of the LORDH3068?”

4When MosesH4872 heard thisH8085, he fellH5307 facedownH5921H6440. 5Then he saidH1696 toH413 KorahH7141H413 and allH3605 his followersH5712H559, “Tomorrow morningH1242 the LORDH3068 will revealH3045 who belongsH834 to Him2 andH853 who is holyH6918, and He will bring that person nearH7126 to HimselfH413. The oneH834 He choosesH977 He will bring nearH7126 to HimselfH413. 6You, KorahH7141, and allH3605 your followersH5712 are to doH6213 as followsH2063: TakeH3947 censersH4289, 7and tomorrowH4279 you are to placeH5414 fireH784 and incenseH7004 in them in the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068. Then the manH376 the LORDH3068 choosesH977 will beH1961 the oneH1931 who is holyH6918. It is you sonsH1121 of LeviH3878 who have taken too muchH7227 upon yourselves!”

8MosesH4872 also saidH559 toH413 KorahH7141, “NowH4994 listenH8085, you sonsH1121 of LeviH3878! 9Is it not enoughH4592 for you thatH3588 the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 has separated youH914 from the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478 and brought you nearH7126 to HimselfH413 to performH5647 the workH5656 at the LORD’sH3068 tabernacleH4908, and to standH5975 beforeH6440 the congregationH5712 to minister to themH8334? 10He has brought you nearH7126, you and allH3605 your fellowH251 LevitesH1121H3878, but you are seekingH1245 the priesthoodH3550 as wellH1571. 11ThereforeH3651, it is youH859 and allH3605 your followersH5712 who have conspiredH3259 againstH5921 the LORDH3068! As for AaronH175, whoH4100 is heH1931 thatH3588 you should grumbleH3885 against himH5921?”

12Then MosesH4872 summonedH7971H7121 DathanH1885 and AbiramH48, the sonsH1121 of EliabH446, but they saidH559, “We will notH3808 comeH5927! 13Is it not enoughH4592 thatH3588 you have brought us upH5927 out of a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706 to kill usH4191 in the wildernessH4057H3588? Must you alsoH1571 appoint yourself as rulerH8323 over usH5921? 14MoreoverH637, you have notH3808 brought usH935 intoH413 a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706 or givenH5414 us an inheritanceH5159 of fieldsH7704 and vineyardsH3754. Will you gouge outH5365 the eyesH5869 of theseH1992 menH582? No, we will notH3808 comeH5927!”

15Then MosesH4872 became veryH3966 angryH2734 and saidH559 toH413 the LORDH3068, “Do notH408 regardH6437H413 their offeringH4503. I have notH3808 takenH5375H3808 oneH259 donkeyH2543 from them or mistreatedH7489 a singleH259 one of them.”
