Numbers 16:1-15
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.
