Numbers 16:44-50

44The Lord said to Moses,

45‘Get away from the people so that I can destroy them immediately!’ Moses and Aaron threw themselves down so that their faces touched the ground.

46Moses said to Aaron, ‘Pick up your pot. Take coals with fire from the altar and put incense with them in the pot. Then take it quickly among all the people. Remove their sin so that God will forgive them. Be quick! The Lord is so angry with the people that he is already punishing them with a bad disease!’

47The bad disease was already killing some of the people. But Aaron did what Moses had told him to do. He took the pot of incense among the people to remove their sin.

48In that way, he stood between the people who had died and those who were still living. The bad disease stopped killing people.

49But 14,700 people died because of the disease, as well as the people who had died with Korah.

50After the disease stopped, Aaron went back to Moses at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
