Numbers 16:3-11
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.
8And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto KorahH7141, HearH8085, I pray you, ye sonsH1121 of LeviH3878:
9Seemeth it but a small thingH4592 unto you, that the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 hath separatedH914 you from the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478, to bring you nearH7126 to himself to doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH4908 of YhwhH3068, and to standH5975 beforeH6440 the congregationH5712 to ministerH8334 unto them?
10And he hath brought thee nearH7126 to him, and all thy brethrenH251 the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878 with thee: and seekH1245 ye the priesthoodH3550 also?
11For which causeH3651 both thou and all thy companyH5712 are gathered togetherH3259 against YhwhH3068: and what is AaronH175, that ye murmurH3885 against him?
