Numbers 16

1Now KorahH7141, the sonH1121 of IzharH3324, the sonH1121 of KohathH6955, the sonH1121 of LeviH3878, with DathanH1885 and AbiramH48, the sonsH1121 of EliabH446, and On, the sonH1121 of PelethH6431, sonsH1121 of ReubenH7205, tookH3947 menH1121: 2and they roseH6965 upH6965 beforeH6440 MosesH4872, with certainH376 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, twoH3967 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 princesH5387 of the congregationH5712, calledH8034 to the assemblyH5712, menH376 of renownH8034: 3and they assembledH6950 themselvesH5921 togetherH5921 againstH5921 MosesH4872 and againstH5921 AaronH175, and saidH559 unto them, Ye takeH5375 tooH5921 muchH7227 uponH5921 youH3588, seeingH3588 allH3605 the congregationH5712 are holyH6918, everyH3605 one of them, and the LORDH3068 is among them: wherefore then liftH5375 ye upH5375 yourselves aboveH5921 the assemblyH6951 of the LORDH3068? 4And when MosesH4872 heardH8085 it, he fellH5307 uponH5921 his faceH6440: 5and he spake unto KorahH7141 and unto allH3605 his companyH5712, sayingH559, In the morningH1242 the LORDH3068 will shew who are his, and who is holyH6918, and will cause him to comeH7126 nearH7126 unto him: evenH853 him whomH834 he shall chooseH977 will he cause to comeH7126 nearH7126 unto him. 6This doH6213; takeH3947 youH3605 censersH4289, KorahH7141, and allH3605 his companyH5712; 7and putH5414 fireH784 therein, and putH5414 incenseH7004 uponH5921 them beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 tomorrowH4279: and it shall be that the manH376 whomH834 the LORDH3068 doth chooseH977, he shall be holyH6918: ye takeH7760 tooH5921 muchH7227 uponH5921 youH834, ye sonsH1121 of LeviH3878. 8And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto KorahH7141, HearH8085 nowH4994, ye sonsH1121 of LeviH3878: 9seemeth it but a smallH4592 thingH4592 unto youH3588, that the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 hath separatedH914 youH3588 from the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478, to bringH7126 youH3588 nearH7126 to himselfH6440; to doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH4908 of the LORDH3068, and to standH5975 beforeH6440 the congregationH5712 to ministerH8334 unto them; 10and that he hath broughtH7126 thee nearH7126, and allH3605 thy brethrenH251 the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878 with thee? and seekH1245 ye the priesthoodH3550 also? 11Therefore thou and allH3605 thy companyH5712 are gatheredH3259 togetherH3259 againstH5921 the LORDH3068: and AaronH175, whatH4100 is he that ye murmurH3885 againstH5921 him? 12And MosesH4872 sentH7971 to callH7121 DathanH1885 and AbiramH48, the sonsH1121 of EliabH446: and they saidH559, We will notH3808 comeH5927 upH5927: 13is it a smallH4592 thingH4592 that thou hast broughtH5927 usH5921 upH5927 outH5921 of a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, to killH4191 usH5921 in the wildernessH4057, but thou mustH4191 needs makeH3588 thyself also a prince over usH5921? 14MoreoverH637 thou hast notH3808 broughtH935 usH5414 intoH413 a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, norH3808 givenH5414 usH5414 inheritanceH5159 of fieldsH7704 and vineyardsH3754: wilt thou putH5414 outH413 the eyesH5869 of theseH1992 menH376? weH776 will notH3808 comeH935 upH5927. 15And MosesH4872 was veryH3966 wroth, and saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, RespectH6437 notH3808 thou their offering: I have notH3808 takenH5375 one ass from them, neitherH3808 have I hurt one of them. 16And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto KorahH7141, Be thou and allH3605 thy congregationH5712 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, thou, and they, and AaronH175, tomorrowH4279: 17and takeH3947 ye everyH376 manH376 his censerH4289, and putH5414 incenseH7004 uponH5921 them, and bringH7126 ye beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 everyH376 manH376 his censerH4289, twoH3947 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 censersH4289; thou also, and AaronH175, eachH376 his censerH4289. 18And they tookH3947 everyH376 manH376 his censerH4289, and putH5414 fireH784 in them, and laidH7760 incenseH7004 thereonH5921, and stoodH5975 at the doorH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150 with MosesH4872 and AaronH175. 19And KorahH7141 assembledH6950 allH3605 the congregationH5712 againstH5921 them unto the doorH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150: and the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 unto allH3605 the congregationH5712. 20And the LORDH3068 spake unto MosesH4872 and unto AaronH175, sayingH559, 21SeparateH914 yourselves from among this congregationH5712, that I may consumeH3615 them in a momentH7281. 22And they fellH5307 uponH5921 their facesH6440, and saidH559, O GodH430, the GodH430 of the spiritsH7307 of allH3605 fleshH1320, shall one manH376 sinH2398, and wilt thou be wroth with allH3605 the congregationH5712? 23And the LORDH3068 spake unto MosesH4872, sayingH559, 24SpeakH1696 unto the congregationH5712, sayingH559, GetH5927 youH413 upH5927 from aboutH5439 the tabernacleH4908 of KorahH7141, DathanH1885, and AbiramH48. 25And MosesH4872 roseH6965 upH6965 and wentH6965 unto DathanH1885 and AbiramH48; and the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 followedH310 him. 26And he spake unto the congregationH5712, sayingH559, DepartH5493, I prayH4994 youH834, from the tentsH168 of theseH428 wickedH7563 menH376, and touchH5060 nothingH408 of theirs, lestH6435 ye be consumed in allH3605 their sinsH2403. 27SoH5927 they gat them upH5927 from the tabernacleH4908 of KorahH7141, DathanH1885, and AbiramH48, on everyH5439 sideH5439: and DathanH1885 and AbiramH48 cameH3318 outH3318, and stoodH5324 at the doorH6607 of their tentsH168, and their wivesH802, and their sonsH1121, and their littleH2945 onesH2945. 28And MosesH4872 saidH559, Hereby ye shall knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 meH7971 to doH6213 allH3605 theseH428 worksH4639; for I have notH3808 doneH6213 them of mine own mindH3820. 29IfH518 theseH428 menH120 dieH4191 the common deathH4191 of allH3605 menH120, or ifH518 they be visitedH6485 afterH5921 the visitation of allH3605 menH120; then the LORDH3068 hath notH3808 sentH7971 meH7971. 30But ifH518 the LORDH3068 makeH3045 a newH1278 thingH3588, and the groundH127 openH6475 herH3605 mouthH6310, and swallowH1104 them upH1104, with allH3605 that appertain unto them, and they goH3381 downH3381 aliveH2416 intoH376 the pit; then ye shall understandH3045 that theseH428 menH376 have despisedH5006 the LORDH3068. 31And it cameH1961 to passH1961, as he madeH1696 an endH3615 of speakingH1696 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697, that the groundH127 clave asunder that was underH8478 them: 32and the earthH776 openedH6605 herH3605 mouthH6310, and swallowedH1104 them upH1104, and their householdsH1004, and allH3605 the menH120 that appertained unto KorahH7141, and allH3605 their goodsH7399. 33SoH834 they, and allH3605 that appertained to them, wentH3381 downH3381 aliveH2416 intoH8432 the pit: and the earthH776 closedH3680 uponH5921 them, and they perishedH6 from among the assemblyH6951. 34And allH3605 IsraelH3478 that were roundH5439 aboutH5439 them fledH5127 at the cryH6963 of them: for they saidH559, LestH6435 the earthH776 swallowH1104 usH3588 upH1104. 35And fireH784 cameH3318 forthH3318 from the LORDH3068, and devouredH398 the twoH3967 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 menH376 that offeredH7126 the incenseH7004. 36And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 37Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are holy; 38even the censers of these sinners against their own lives, and let them be made beaten plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are holy: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel. 39And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers, which they that were burnt had offered; and they beat them out for a covering of the altar: 40to be a memorial unto the children of Israel, to the end that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to burn incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD spake unto him by the hand of Moses. 41But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of the LORD. 42And it came to pass, when the congregation was assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared. 43And Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting. 44And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 45Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. And they fell upon their faces. 46And Moses said unto Aaron, Take thy censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and lay incense thereon, and carry it quickly unto the congregation, and make atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun. 47And Aaron took as Moses spake, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on the incense, and made atonement for the people. 48And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed. 49Now they that died by the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides them that died about the matter of Korah. 50And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tent of meeting: and the plague was stayed.
