Numbers 16:41-49

41The next dayH4283 the wholeH3605 congregationH5712H1121 of IsraelH3478 grumbledH3885 againstH5921 MosesH4872H5921 and AaronH175, sayingH559, “YouH859 have killedH4191 the LORD’sH3068 peopleH5971!” 42ButH1961 when the congregationH5712 gatheredH6950 against themH5921, MosesH4872H5921 and AaronH175 turnedH6437 towardH413 the TentH168 of MeetingH4150H2009, and suddenly the cloudH6051 covered itH3680 and the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 appearedH7200.

43Then MosesH4872 and AaronH175 wentH935 toH413 the frontH6440 of the TentH168 of MeetingH4150, 44and the LORDH3068 saidH1696 toH413 MosesH4872H559, 45“Get awayH7426 fromH8432 thisH2063 congregationH5712 so that I may consumeH3615 themH853 in an instantH7281.” And Moses and Aaron fellH5307 facedownH5921H6440.

46MosesH4872 saidH559 toH413 AaronH175, “TakeH3947 your censerH4289, placeH5414 fireH784 fromH5921 the altarH4196H7760 in itH5921, and add incenseH7004. GoH1980 quicklyH4120 toH413 the congregationH5712 and make atonementH3722 for themH5921, becauseH3588 wrathH7110 has comeH3318 out fromH6440 the LORDH3068; the plagueH5063 has begunH2490.”

47So AaronH175 tookH3947 the censer asH834 MosesH4872 had orderedH1696 and ranH7323 intoH413 the midstH8432 of the assemblyH6951H2009. And seeing that the plagueH5063 had begunH2490 among the peopleH5971H5414, he offered the incenseH7004 and made atonementH3722 forH5921 the peopleH5971. 48He stoodH5975 betweenH996 the livingH2416 and the deadH4191, and the plagueH4046 was haltedH6113. 49But those who diedH4191 from the plagueH4046 numbered 14,700H702H6240H505H7651H3967, in addition toH905 those who had diedH4191 onH5921 accountH1697 of KorahH7141.
