Numbers 16:1-7
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!”
