Numbers 16:6-14

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?”

12Then Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, but they said, “We will not come up.

13Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of the land that flows with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness? Now do you want to make yourself a prince over us?

14Moreover, you have not brought us into a land that flows with milk and honey, nor given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards. Do you think you can blind these men? We will not come up.”
