Now 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 unto them, Ye take too muchH7227 upon you, seeing all the congregationH5712 are holyH6918, every one of them, and the LORDH3068 is amongH8432 them: wherefore then lift ye upH5375 yourselves above the congregationH6951 of the LORDH3068?4And when MosesH4872 heardH8085 it, he fellH5307 upon his faceH6440:5And he spakeH1696 unto KorahH7141 and unto all his companyH5712, sayingH559, Even to morrowH1242 the LORDH3068 will shewH3045 who are his, and who is holyH6918; and will cause him to come nearH7126 unto him: even him whom he hath chosenH977 will he cause to come nearH7126 unto him.6This doH6213; TakeH3947 you censersH4289, KorahH7141, and all his companyH5712;7And putH5414 fireH784 thereinH2004, 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 unto KorahH7141, HearH8085, I pray you, ye sonsH1121 of LeviH3878:9Seemeth it but a small thingH4592 unto 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 unto 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 H3885 against him?12And MosesH4872 sentH7971 to callH7121 DathanH1885 and AbiramH48, the sonsH1121 of EliabH446: which saidH559, We will not come upH5927:13Is it a small thingH4592 thatH3588 thou hast brought us upH5927 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 upH5927.15And MosesH4872 was veryH3966 wrothH2734, and saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, RespectH6437 not thou their offeringH4503: I have not takenH5375 oneH259 assH2543 from them, neither have I hurtH7489 oneH259 of them.16And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto KorahH7141, Be thou and all thy companyH5712 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, thou, and they, and AaronH175, to morrowH4279:17And takeH3947 every manH376 his censerH4289, and putH5414 incenseH7004 in them, and bringH7126 ye beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 every manH376 his censerH4289, two hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 censersH4289; thou also, and AaronH175, eachH376 of you his censerH4289.18And they tookH3947 every manH376 his censerH4289, and putH5414 fireH784 in them, and laidH7760 incenseH7004 thereon, and stoodH5975 in the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150 with MosesH4872 and AaronH175.19And KorahH7141 gatheredH6950 all the congregationH5712 against them unto the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150: and the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 unto all the congregationH5712.20And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872 and unto AaronH175, sayingH559,21SeparateH914 yourselves from amongH8432 this congregationH5712, that I may consumeH3615 them in a momentH7281.22And they fellH5307 upon their facesH6440, and saidH559, O GodH410, the GodH430 of the spiritsH7307 of all fleshH1320, shall oneH259 manH376 sinH2398, and wilt thou be wrothH7107 with all the congregationH5712?

23And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,24SpeakH1696 unto the congregationH5712, sayingH559, Get you upH5927 from aboutH5439 the tabernacleH4908 of KorahH7141, DathanH1885, and AbiramH48.25And MosesH4872 rose upH6965 and wentH3212 unto DathanH1885 and AbiramH48; and the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 followedH3212 himH310.26And he spakeH1696 unto the congregationH5712, sayingH559, DepartH5493, I pray you, from the tentsH168 of these wickedH7563 menH582, and touchH5060 nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumedH5595 in all their sinsH2403.27So they gat upH5927 from the tabernacleH4908 of KorahH7141, DathanH1885, and AbiramH48, on every sideH5439: and DathanH1885 and AbiramH48 came outH3318, and stoodH5324 in the doorH6607 of their tentsH168, and their wivesH802, and their sonsH1121, and their little childrenH2945.28And MosesH4872 saidH559, Hereby ye shall knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 me to doH6213 all these worksH4639; for I have not done them of mine own mindH3820.29If these men dieH4191 the common deathH4194 of all menH120, or if they be visitedH6485 after the visitationH6486 of all menH120; then the LORDH3068 hath not sentH7971 me.30But if the LORDH3068 makeH1254 a new thingH1278, and the earthH127 openH6475 her mouthH6310, and swallow them upH1104, with all that appertain unto them, and they go downH3381 quickH2416 into the pitH7585; then ye shall understandH3045 that these menH582 have provokedH5006 the LORDH3068.

31And it came to pass, as he had made an endH3615 of speakingH1696 all these wordsH1697, that the groundH127 clave asunderH1234 that was under them:32And the earthH776 openedH6605 her mouthH6310, and swallowed them upH1104, and their housesH1004, and all the menH120 that appertained unto KorahH7141, and all their goodsH7399.33They, and all that appertained to them, went downH3381 aliveH2416 into the pitH7585, and the earthH776 closedH3680 upon them: and they perishedH6 from amongH8432 the congregationH6951.34And all IsraelH3478 that were round aboutH5439 them fledH5127 at the cryH6963 of them: for they saidH559, Lest the earthH776 swallow us upH1104 also.35And there came outH3318 a fireH784 from the LORDH3068, and consumedH398 the two hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 menH376 that offeredH7126 incenseH7004.

36And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,37SpeakH559 unto EleazarH499 the sonH1121 of AaronH175 the priestH3548, that he take upH7311 the censersH4289 outH996 of the burningH8316, and scatterH2219 thou the fireH784 yonderH1973; for they are hallowedH6942.38The censersH4289 of these sinnersH2400 against their own soulsH5315, let them makeH6213 them broadH7555 platesH6341 for a coveringH6826 of the altarH4196: for they offeredH7126 them beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, therefore they are hallowedH6942: and they shall be a signH226 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.39And EleazarH499 the priestH3548 tookH3947 the brasenH5178 censersH4289, wherewith they that were burntH8313 had offeredH7126; and they were made broadH7554 plates for a coveringH6826 of the altarH4196:40To be a memorialH2146 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, thatH834 H4616 no strangerH376 H2114, which is not of the seedH2233 of AaronH175, come nearH7126 to offerH6999 incenseH7004 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068; that he be not as KorahH7141, and as his companyH5712: as the LORDH3068 saidH1696 to him by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.

41But on the morrowH4283 all the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 murmuredH3885 against MosesH4872 and against AaronH175, sayingH559, Ye have killedH4191 the peopleH5971 of the LORDH3068.42And it came to pass, when the congregationH5712 was gatheredH6950 against MosesH4872 and against AaronH175, that they lookedH6437 toward the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150: and, behold, the cloudH6051 coveredH3680 it, and the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 appearedH7200.43And MosesH4872 and AaronH175 cameH935 beforeH6440 the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150.44And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,45Get you upH7426 from amongH8432 this congregationH5712, that I may consumeH3615 them as in a momentH7281. And they fellH5307 upon their facesH6440.

46And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto AaronH175, TakeH3947 a censerH4289, and putH5414 fireH784 therein from offH6440 the altarH4196, and putH7760 on incenseH7004, and goH3212 quicklyH4120 unto the congregationH5712, and make an atonementH3722 for them: for there is wrathH7110 gone outH3318 from the LORDH3068; the plagueH5063 is begunH2490.47And AaronH175 tookH3947 as MosesH4872 commandedH1696, and ranH7323 into the midstH8432 of the congregationH6951; and, behold, the plagueH5063 was begunH2490 among the peopleH5971: and he putH5414 on incenseH7004, and made an atonementH3722 for the peopleH5971.48And he stoodH5975 between the deadH4191 and the livingH2416; and the plagueH4046 was stayedH6113.49Now they that diedH4191 in the plagueH4046 were fourteenH702 H6240 thousandH505 and sevenH7651 hundredH3967, beside them that diedH4191 about the matterH1697 of KorahH7141.50And AaronH175 returnedH7725 unto MosesH4872 unto the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150: and the plagueH4046 was stayedH6113.
