*
And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron ,
and said unto them ,
Ye take too much upon you ,
seeing all the congregation are holy ,
every one of them ,
and the LORD is among them :
wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD ?
*
And when Moses heard it ,
he fell upon his face :
*
And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company ,
saying ,
Even to morrow the LORD will shew who are his ,
and who is holy ;
and will cause him to come near unto him :
even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him .
*
This do ;
Take you censers ,
Korah ,
and all his company ;
*
And put fire therein ,
and put incense in them before the LORD to morrow :
and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose ,
he shall be holy :
ye take too much upon you ,
ye sons of Levi .
*
And Moses said unto Korah ,
Hear ,
I pray you ,
ye sons of Levi :
*
Seemeth it but a small thing unto you ,
that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel Yisra #
el #,
to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD ,
and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them ?
*
And he hath brought thee near to him ,
and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee :
and seek ye the priesthood also ?
*
For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD :
and what is Aaron ,
that ye murmur (
8675 )
against him ?
*
And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram ,
the sons of Eliab #
Eliy #
ab #:
which said ,
We will not come up :
*
Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and honey ,
to kill us in the wilderness ,
except thou make #
thyself altogether a prince over us ?
*
Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey ,
or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards :
wilt thou put out the eyes of these men ?
we will not come up .
*
And Moses was very wroth ,
and said unto the LORD ,
Respect not thou their offering :
I have not taken one ass from them ,
neither have I hurt one of them .
*
And Moses said unto Korah ,
Be thou and all thy company before the LORD ,
thou ,
and they ,
and Aaron ,
to morrow :
*
And take every man his censer ,
and put incense in them ,
and bring ye before the LORD every man his censer ,
two hundred and fifty censers ;
thou also ,
and Aaron ,
each of you his censer .
*
And they took every man his censer ,
and put fire in them ,
and laid incense thereon ,
and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron .
*
And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation mow #
ed #:
and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron ,
saying ,
*
Separate yourselves from among this congregation ,
that I may consume them in a moment .
*
And they fell upon their faces ,
and said ,
O God ,
the God of the spirits of all flesh ,
shall one man sin ,
and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation ?
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Speak unto the congregation ,
saying ,
Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah ,
Dathan ,
and Abiram .
*
And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram ;
and the elders of Israel followed him .
*
And he spake unto the congregation ,
saying ,
Depart ,
I pray you ,
from the tents of these wicked men ,
and touch nothing of theirs ,
lest ye be consumed in all their sins chatta #
ah #.
*
So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah ,
Dathan ,
and Abiram ,
on every side :
and Dathan and Abiram came out ,
and stood in the door of their tents ,
and their wives ,
and their sons ,
and their little children .
*
And Moses said ,
Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works ma #
aseh #;
for I have not done them of mine own mind .
*
If these men die the common death of all men ,
or if they be visited after the visitation of all men ;
then the LORD hath not sent me .
*
But if the LORD make a new thing b @
riy #
ah #,
and the earth open her mouth ,
and swallow them up ,
with all that appertain unto them ,
and they go down quick into the pit sh @#
owl #;
then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD .
*
And it came to pass ,
as he had made an end of speaking all these words ,
that the ground clave asunder that was under them :
*
And the earth opened her mouth ,
and swallowed them up ,
and their houses ,
and all the men that appertained unto Korah ,
and all their goods .
*
They ,
and all that appertained to them ,
went down alive into the pit sh @#
owl #,
and the earth closed upon them :
and they perished from among the congregation .
*
And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them :
for they said ,
Lest the earth swallow us up also .
*
And there came out a fire from the LORD ,
and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense .
