Numbers 16:3-11
3They assembledH6950 together 1againstH5921 MosesH4872 and AaronH175, and saidH559 to them, “23You have gone farH7227 enoughH7227, for allH3605 the congregationH5712 are holyH6918, everyH3605 oneH3605 of them, and 4the LordH3068 is in their midstH8432; so whyH4069 do you exaltH5375 yourselves aboveH5921 the assemblyH6951 of the LordH3068?”
4When MosesH4872 heardH8085 this, 5he fellH5307 on his faceH6440; 5and he spokeH1696 to KorahH7141 and allH3605 his companyH5712, sayingH559, “TomorrowH1242 morningH1242 the LordH3068 will showH3045 whoH834 is His, and 6who is holyH6918, and will bringH7126 him nearH7126 to Himself; even 7the one whomH834 He will chooseH977, He will bringH7126 nearH7126 to Himself. 6DoH6213 thisH2088: takeH3947 censersH4289 for yourselves, KorahH7141 and allH3605 8your 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. 910You have gone farH7227 enoughH7227, you sonsH1121 of LeviH3878!”
8Then MosesH4872 saidH559 to KorahH7141, “HearH8085 nowH4994, you sonsH1121 of LeviH3878, 911is it 12not enoughH4592 for you that the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 has separatedH914 you from the rest of the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478, 13to bringH7126 you nearH7126 to Himself, to doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH4908 of the LordH3068, and to standH5975 beforeH6440 the congregationH5712 to ministerH8334 to them; 10and that He has broughtH7126 you nearH7126, Korah, and allH3605 your brothersH251, sonsH1121 of LeviH3878, with you? And are you 14seekingH1245 for the priesthoodH3550 alsoH1571? 11ThereforeH3651 you and allH3605 your companyH5712 are gatheredH3259 together 15againstH5921 the LordH3068; but as for AaronH175, 16whoH4100 is he that 17you grumbleH3885 againstH5921 him?”
