Numbers 16:6-14

6Do this: take censers for yourselves, Korah and 1your 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. 23You have gone far enough, you sons of Levi!”

8Then Moses said to Korah, “Hear now, you sons of Levi: 94Is it too small an honor for you that the God of Israel has singled you out from the congregation of Israel, 5to 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 6seeking the priesthood as well? 11Therefore you and your whole group are the ones gathered together 7against the Lord; but as for Aaron, 8who is he, that 9you grumble against him?”

12Then Moses sent 10a summons to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; but they said, “We will not come up. 13Is it 11not enough that you have brought us up out of a 12land flowing with milk and honey 13to have us die in the wilderness, but you would also appoint yourself as master over us? 14Indeed, you have not brought us 14into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor have you given us an inheritance of 15fields and vineyards. Would you 16gouge out the eyes of 17these men? We will not come up!”
