Numbers 16:1-7

1Now KorahH7141, the sonH1121 of IzharH3324, the sonH1121 of KohathH6955, the sonH1121 of LeviH3878, and DathanH1885 and AbiramH48, the sonsH1121 of EliabH446, and OnH203, the sonH1121 of PelethH6431, sonsH1121 of ReubenH7205, tookH3947 men:

2And they rose upH6965 beforeH6440 MosesH4872, with certainH582 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, two hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 princesH5387 of the assemblyH5712, famousH7148 in the congregationH4150, menH582 of renownH8034:

3And they gathered themselves togetherH6950 against MosesH4872 and against AaronH175, and saidH559 unto them, Ye take too muchH7227 upon you, seeing all the congregationH5712 are holyH6918, every one of them, and YhwhH3068 is amongH8432 them: wherefore then lift ye upH5375 yourselves above the congregationH6951 of YhwhH3068?1

4And when MosesH4872 heardH8085 it, he fellH5307 upon his faceH6440:

5And he spakeH1696 unto KorahH7141 and unto all his companyH5712, sayingH559, Even to morrowH1242 YhwhH3068 will shewH3045 who are his, and who is holyH6918; and will cause him to come nearH7126 unto him: even him whom he hath chosenH977 will he cause to come nearH7126 unto him.

6This doH6213; TakeH3947 you censersH4289, KorahH7141, and all his companyH5712;

7And putH5414 fireH784 thereinH2004, and putH7760 incenseH7004 in them beforeH6440 YhwhH3068 to morrowH4279: and it shall be that the manH376 whom YhwhH3068 doth chooseH977, he shall be holyH6918: ye take too muchH7227 upon you, ye sonsH1121 of LeviH3878.
