Numbers 16:1-7

1Now 1KorahH7141 the sonH1121 of IzharH3324, the sonH1121 of KohathH6955, the sonH1121 of LeviH3878, with 2DathanH1885 and AbiramH48, the sonsH1121 of EliabH446, and OnH203 the sonH1121 of PelethH6431, sonsH1121 of ReubenH7205, tookH3947 action, 2and they roseH6965 up beforeH6440 MosesH4872, 3together with someH376 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, two hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 leadersH5387 of the congregationH5712, 45chosenH7148 in the assemblyH4150, menH376 of renownH8034. 3They assembledH6950 together 6againstH5921 MosesH4872 and AaronH175, and saidH559 to them, “78You have gone farH7227 enoughH7227, for allH3605 the congregationH5712 are holyH6918, everyH3605 oneH3605 of them, and 9the LordH3068 is in their midstH8432; so whyH4069 do you exaltH5375 yourselves aboveH5921 the assemblyH6951 of the LordH3068?”

4When MosesH4872 heardH8085 this, 10he fellH5307 on his faceH6440; 5and he spokeH1696 to KorahH7141 and allH3605 his companyH5712, sayingH559, “TomorrowH1242 morningH1242 the LordH3068 will showH3045 whoH834 is His, and 11who is holyH6918, and will bringH7126 him nearH7126 to Himself; even 12the one whomH834 He will chooseH977, He will bringH7126 nearH7126 to Himself. 6DoH6213 thisH2088: takeH3947 censersH4289 for yourselves, KorahH7141 and allH3605 13your companyH5712, 7and putH5414 fireH784 in them, and layH7760 incenseH7004 upon them in the presenceH6440 of the LordH3068 tomorrowH4279; and the manH376 whomH834 the LordH3068 choosesH977 shall be the oneH6918 whoH1931 is holyH6918. 1415You have gone farH7227 enoughH7227, you sonsH1121 of LeviH3878!”
