Numbers 16:21-45

21SeparateH914 yourselves from the midstH8432 of this assemblyH5712, and I will consume them in a momentH7281.

22And they fellH5307 on their facesH6440, and saidH559, O 1GodH430, the 2GodH430 of the spiritsH7307 of all fleshH1320! shall oneH259 manH376 sinH2398, and wilt thou be wroth with the whole assemblyH5712?

23And Jehovah spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559,

24SpeakH1696 unto the assemblyH5712, sayingH559, Get you up from about the habitation of KorahH7141, DathanH1885, and AbiramH48.

25And MosesH4872 roseH6965 up and went to DathanH1885 and AbiramH48; and the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 followed him.

26And he spokeH1696 to the assemblyH5712, sayingH559, DepartH5493, I pray you, from the tentsH168 of these wickedH7563 menH376, and touchH5060 nothing of theirs, lestH6435 ye perish in all their sinsH2403.

27And they got up from the habitation of Koran, DathanH1885, and AbiramH48, on every side. And DathanH1885 and AbiramH48 cameH3318 out, and stoodH5324 in the entranceH6607 of their tentsH168, and their wivesH802, and their sonsH1121, and their littleH2945 onesH2945.

28And MosesH4872 saidH559, Hereby ye shall knowH3045 that Jehovah has sentH7971 me to do all these deedsH4639, for they are not out of my own heartH3820:

29if these menH120 dieH4191 as all menH120 dieH4191, and are visitedH6485 with the visitation of all menH120, Jehovah has not sentH7971 me;

30but if Jehovah makeH3045 a new thing, and the groundH127 openH6475 its mouthH6310, and swallowH1104 them up, and all that they have, and they goH3381 down aliveH2416 into SheolH7585, then ye shall knowH3045 that these menH376 have despised Jehovah.

31And it came to pass when he had endedH3615 speakingH1696 all these wordsH1697, that the groundH127 clave apart that wasH1961 under them.

32And the earthH776 openedH6605 its mouthH6310, and swallowedH1104 them up, and their householdsH1004, and all the menH120 that belonged to KorahH7141, and all their propertyH7399.

33And they wentH3381 downH3381, they and all that they had, aliveH2416 into SheolH7585, and the earthH776 coveredH3680 them; and they perishedH6 from among the congregation.

34And all IsraelH3478 that were roundH5439 about them fledH5127 at their cry; for they saidH559, LestH6435 the earthH776 swallowH1104 us up!

35And there cameH3318 out a fireH784 from Jehovah, and consumedH398 the twoH3967 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 menH376 that had presentedH7126 incenseH7004.

36And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

37Speak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning; and scatter the fire afar; for they are hallowed,

38the censers of these sinners who have forfeited their life; and they shall make them into broad plates for the covering of the altar; for they presented them before Jehovah, therefore they are hallowed; and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.

39And Eleazar the priest took the copper censers, which they that were burnt had presented; and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar:

40as a memorial to the children of Israel, that no stranger who is not of the seed of Aaron come near to burn incense before Jehovah, that he be not as Korah, and as his band, — as Jehovah had said to him through Moses.

41And the whole assembly of the children of Israel murmured on the morrow against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of Jehovah.

42And it came to pass, when the assembly was gathered together against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting, and behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of Jehovah appeared.

43And Moses and Aaron went before the tent of meeting.

44And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

45Get you up from the midst of this assembly, and I will consume them in a moment. And they fell on their faces.
