Numbers 16:3-11

3They assembled together 1against Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “23You have gone far enough! For all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and 4the Lord is in their midst; so why do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the Lord?”

4When Moses heard this, 5he 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 6who is holy, and will bring that one near to Himself; indeed, 7the one whom He will choose, He will bring near to Himself. 6Do this: take censers for yourselves, Korah and 8your 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. 910You have gone far enough, you sons of Levi!”

8Then Moses said to Korah, “Hear now, you sons of Levi: 911Is it too small an honor for you that the God of Israel has singled you out from the congregation of Israel, 12to bring you near to Himself, to perform the service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them; 10and that He has brought you near, Korah, and all your brothers, sons of Levi, with you? But are you 13seeking the priesthood as well? 11Therefore you and your whole group are the ones gathered together 14against the Lord; but as for Aaron, 15who is he, that 16you grumble against him?”
