Numbers 16:41-49

41On the next day all the congregation of the children of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron, saying, “You have killed the people of the Lord.”

42Now it happened, when the congregation had gathered against Moses and Aaron, that they turned toward the tabernacle of meeting; and suddenly the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.

43Then Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of meeting.

44And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

45“Get away from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.” And they fell on their faces.

46So Moses said to Aaron, “Take a censer and put fire in it from the altar, put incense on it, and take it quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them; for wrath has gone out from the Lord. The plague has begun.”

47Then Aaron took it as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and already the plague had begun among the people. So he put in the incense and made atonement for the people.

48And he stood between the dead and the living; so the plague was stopped.

49Now those who died in the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides those who died in the Korah incident.
