Numbers 16:1-15

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 to them, Ye take too muchH7227 upon you, seeing all the congregationH5712 are holyH6918, every one of them, and the LORDH3068 is amongH8432 them: why then do ye raiseH5375 yourselves above the congregationH6951 of the LORDH3068?1 4And when MosesH4872 heardH8085 it, he fellH5307 upon his faceH6440: 5And he spokeH1696 to KorahH7141 and to all his companyH5712, sayingH559, Even to morrowH1242 the LORDH3068 will showH3045 who are his, and who is holyH6918; and will cause him to come nearH7126 to him: even him whom he hath chosenH977 will he cause to come nearH7126 to him. 6This doH6213; TakeH3947 for yourselves censersH4289, KorahH7141, and all his companyH5712; 7And putH5414 fireH784 in themH2004, and putH7760 incenseH7004 in them beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 to morrowH4279: and it shall be that the manH376 whom the LORDH3068 doth chooseH977, he shall be holyH6918: ye take too muchH7227 upon you, ye sonsH1121 of LeviH3878. 8And MosesH4872 saidH559 to KorahH7141, HearH8085, I pray you, ye sonsH1121 of LeviH3878: 9Seemeth it but a small thingH4592 to 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 the LORDH3068, and to standH5975 beforeH6440 the congregationH5712 to ministerH8334 to 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 the LORDH3068: and what is AaronH175, that ye murmurH3885 against him?

12And MosesH4872 sentH7971 to callH7121 DathanH1885 and AbiramH48, the sonsH1121 of EliabH446: who saidH559, We will not come upH5927: 13Is it a small thingH4592 thatH3588 thou hast brought usH5927 out of a landH776 that flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, to killH4191 us in the wildernessH4057, except thou makeH8323 thyself altogetherH8323 a princeH8323 over us? 14MoreoverH637 thou hast not broughtH935 us into a landH776 that flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, or givenH5414 us inheritanceH5159 of fieldsH7704 and vineyardsH3754: wilt thou put outH5365 the eyesH5869 of these menH582? we will not come upH5927.2 15And MosesH4872 was veryH3966 angryH2734, and saidH559 to the LORDH3068, RespectH6437 not thou their offeringH4503: I have not takenH5375 oneH259 donkeyH2543 from them, neither have I hurtH7489 oneH259 of them.
