Numbers 16:1-7

1Now 1Korah the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with 2Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men, 2and they stood before Moses, 3together with some of the sons of Israel, 250 leaders of the congregation 45chosen in the assembly, men of renown. 3They assembled together 6against Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “78You have gone far enough! For all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and 9the Lord is in their midst; so why do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the Lord?”

4When Moses heard this, 10he fell on his face; 5and he spoke to Korah and all his group, saying, “Tomorrow morning the Lord will make known who is His, and 11who is holy, and will bring that one near to Himself; indeed, 12the one whom He will choose, He will bring near to Himself. 6Do this: take censers for yourselves, Korah and 13your whole group, 7and put fire in them, and place incense upon them in the presence of the Lord tomorrow; and the man whom the Lord chooses shall be the one who is holy. 1415You have gone far enough, you sons of Levi!”
