Numbers 16:21-45

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.
