Numbers 16:1-15
1And KorahH7141, the sonH1121 of IzharH3324, the sonH1121 of KohathH6955, the sonH1121 of LeviH3878, made bold, and [with him] DathanH1885 and AbiramH48, the sonsH1121 of EliabH446, and On, the sonH1121 of PelethH6431, the sonsH1121 of ReubenH7205;
2and they roseH6965 up against MosesH4872, with twoH3967 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 menH376 of the children of IsraelH3478, princesH5387 of the assemblyH5712, summoned to the council, menH376 of renown;
3and they gathered themselves together against MosesH4872 and against AaronH175, and saidH559 to them, It is enoughH7227; for all the assemblyH6951, all of them are holyH6918, and Jehovah is among them; and whyH4069 do ye liftH5375 up yourselves above the congregationH5712 of Jehovah?
4When MosesH4872 heardH8085 this, he fellH5307 on his faceH6440.
5And he spokeH1696 to KorahH7141 and to all his band, sayingH559, Even to-morrow will Jehovah makeH3045 knownH3045 who is his, and who is holyH6918; and he will cause him to come near to him; and him whom he has chosenH977, him will he cause to come near to him.
6This do: takeH3947 you censersH4289, KorahH7141, and all his band,
7and putH5414 fireH784 therein, and lay incenseH7004 thereon before Jehovah to-morrow; and it shall beH1961 that the manH376 whom Jehovah doth chooseH977, he shall beH1961 holyH6918. It is enoughH7227, ye sonsH1121 of LeviH3878!
8And MosesH4872 saidH559 to KorahH7141, HearH8085, I pray you, ye sonsH1121 of LeviH3878!
9Is it too littleH4592 for you, that the 1GodH430 of IsraelH3478 has separatedH914 you from the assemblyH5712 of IsraelH3478, to bringH7126 you near to himself to do the workH5656 of the tabernacleH4908 of Jehovah, and to standH5975 before the assemblyH5712 to minister to them?
10— that he has broughtH7126 thee near, and all thy brethren the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878 with thee; and seekH1245 ye now the priesthoodH3550 alsoH1571?
11For which cause thou and all thy band are banded togetherH3259 against Jehovah; and AaronH175, who is he that ye murmur against him?
12And MosesH4872 sentH7971 to callH7121 DathanH1885 and AbiramH48, the sonsH1121 of EliabH446; but they saidH559, We will not comeH5927 up!
13Is it a smallH4592 thing that thou hast broughtH5927 us up out of a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, to killH4191 us in the wildernessH4057, that thou must make thyself altogether a ruler over us?
14Moreover, thou hast not broughtH935 us into a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, or givenH5414 us inheritanceH5159 of fieldsH7704 and vineyardsH3754: wilt thou putH5414 out the eyesH5869 of these menH376? we will not comeH935 up!
15Then MosesH4872 was veryH3966 wroth, and saidH559 to Jehovah, Have no regard to their oblation: not oneH259 ass have I takenH5375 from them, neither have I hurt oneH259 of them.
