Numbers 16:4-11

4When Moses heard it he fell down with his face to the ground.

5Then he said to Korah and to all his company, “In the morning the Lord will make known who are his, and who is holy. He will cause that person to approach him; the person he has chosen he will cause to approach him.

6Do this, Korah, you and all your company: Take censers,

7put fire in them, and set incense on them before the Lord tomorrow, and the man whom the Lord chooses will be holy. You take too much upon yourselves, you sons of Levi!”

8Moses said to Korah, “Listen now, you sons of Levi!

9Does it seem too small a thing to you that the God of Israel has separated you from the community of Israel to bring you near to himself, to perform the service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the community to minister to them?

10He has brought you near and all your brothers, the sons of Levi, with you. Do you now seek the priesthood also?

11Therefore you and all your company have assembled together against the Lord! And Aaron – what is he that you murmur against him?”
