Numbers 16:29-50

29IfH518 theseH428 menH428 dieH4191 1the deathH4194 of allH3605 menH120 or 2if they sufferH6485 the 3fateH6486 of allH3605 menH120, then the LordH3068 has not sentH7971 me. 30But 4ifH518 the LordH3068 5bringsH1254 aboutH1254 an entirelyH1278 newH1278 thingH1278 and the groundH127 opensH6475 its mouthH6310 and swallowsH1104 them up with allH3605 that is theirsH1992, and they 6descendH3381 aliveH2416 into 7SheolH7585, then you will understandH3045 that theseH428 menH376 have spurnedH5006 the LordH3068.”

31As he finishedH3615 speakingH1696 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697, the groundH127 that was underH8478 them splitH1234 openH1234; 32and 8the earthH776 openedH6605 its mouthH6310 and swallowedH1104 them up, and their householdsH1004, and 9allH3605 the menH120 whoH834 belonged to KorahH7141 with their possessionsH7399. 33So they and allH3605 that belonged to them wentH3381 downH3381 aliveH2416 to 10SheolH7585; and the earthH776 closedH3680 overH5921 them, and they perishedH6 from the midstH8432 of the assemblyH6951. 34AllH3605 IsraelH3478 whoH834 were aroundH5439 them fledH5127 at their 11outcryH6963, for they saidH559, “The earthH776 may swallowH1104 us up!” 3512FireH784 also cameH3318 forthH3318 from the LordH3068 and consumedH398 the 13two hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 menH376 who were offeringH7126 the incenseH7004.

3614Then the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 37“SayH559 to EleazarH499, the sonH1121 of AaronH175 the priestH3548, that he shall takeH7311 up the censersH4289 out of the midstH996 of the 15blazeH8316, for they are holyH6942; and you scatterH2219 the 16burningH784 coalsH784 abroadH1973. 38As for the censersH4289 of theseH428 17menH2400H5315 whoH2400 have sinnedH2400 at the cost of their livesH5315, let them be madeH6213 into hammeredH7555 sheetsH6341 for a platingH6826 of the altarH4196, sinceH3588 they did presentH7126 them beforeH6440 the LordH3068 and they are holyH6942; and 18they shall be for a signH226 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.” 39So EleazarH499 the priestH3548 tookH3947 the bronzeH5178 censersH4289 whichH834 the men who were burnedH8313 had offeredH7126, and they hammeredH7554 them out as a platingH6826 for the altarH4196, 40as a 19reminderH2146 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 that 20noH3808 21laymanH2114 whoH834 is not of the 22descendantsH2233 of AaronH175 should comeH7126 nearH7126 23to burnH6999 incenseH7004 beforeH6440 the LordH3068; so that he will not becomeH1961 like KorahH7141 and his companyH5712--justH3512 as the LordH3068 had spokenH1696 to him 24throughH3027 MosesH4872.

41But on the nextH4283 dayH4283 allH3605 the congregationH5712 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 25grumbledH3885 againstH5921 MosesH4872 and AaronH175, sayingH559, “You are the ones who have causedH4191 the deathH4191 of the Lord’sH3068 peopleH5971.” 42It cameH1961 about, however, when the congregationH5712 had assembledH6950 againstH5921 MosesH4872 and AaronH175, that they turnedH6437 towardH413 the tentH168 of meetingH4150, and beholdH2009, the cloudH6051 coveredH3680 it and 26the gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 appearedH7200. 43Then MosesH4872 and AaronH175 cameH935 to the frontH6440 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150, 44and the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 45“2728GetH7426 awayH7426 from amongH8432 thisH2088 congregationH5712, that I may consumeH3615 them instantlyH7281.” Then they fellH5307 on their facesH6440. 46MosesH4872 saidH559 to AaronH175, “TakeH3947 your censerH4289 and putH5414 in it fireH784 from the altarH4196, and layH7760 incenseH7004 on it; then bringH1980 it quicklyH4120 to the congregationH5712 and 29makeH3722 atonementH3722 for them, for 30wrathH7110 has goneH3318 forthH3318 from the LordH3068, the plagueH5063 has begunH2490!” 47Then AaronH175 tookH3947 it as MosesH4872 had spokenH1696, and ranH7323 into the midstH8432 of the assemblyH6951, for beholdH2009, the plagueH5063 had begunH2490 among the peopleH5971. 31So he putH5414 on the incenseH7004 and madeH3722 atonementH3722 for the peopleH5971. 48He tookH5975 his standH5975 betweenH996 the deadH4191 and the livingH2416, so that the plagueH4046 was checkedH6113. 4932But those who diedH4191 by the plagueH4046 were 14,700H702H6240H505H7651H3967, besidesH4480H905 those who 33diedH4191 on accountH5921H1697 of KorahH7141. 50Then AaronH175 returnedH7725 to MosesH4872 at the doorwayH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150, for the plagueH4046 had been checkedH6113.
