NU-16:1 Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son
of Levi, and
Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth,
sons of
Reuben, took [men]:
NU-16:2 And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the
children of
Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in
the
congregation, men of renown:
NU-16:3 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?
NU-16:4 And when Moses heard [it], he fell upon his face:
NU-16:5 And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company,
saying, Even to
morrow the LORD will show 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.
NU-16:6 This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;
NU-16:7 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.
NU-16:8 And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of
Levi:
NU-16:9 [Seemeth it but] a small thing unto you, that the God
of Israel hath
separated you from the congregation of Israel, 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?
NU-16:10 And he hath brought thee near [to him], and all thy
brethren the
sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?
NU-16:11 For which cause [both] thou and all thy company [are]
gathered
together against the LORD: and what [is] Aaron, that ye murmur
against him?
NU-16:12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of
Eliab: which
said, We will not come up:
NU-16:13 [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?
NU-16:14 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.
NU-16:15 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.
NU-16:16 And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company
before the
LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:
NU-16:17 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.
NU-16:18 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.
NU-16:19 And Korah gathered all the congregation against them
unto the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD
appeared unto
all the congregation.
NU-16:20 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
NU-16:21 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that
I may consume
them in a moment.
NU-16:22 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?
NU-16:23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
NU-16:24 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from
about the
tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
NU-16:25 And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and
the elders of
Israel followed him.
NU-16:26 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.
NU-16:27 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.
NU-16:28 And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD
hath sent me to
do all these works; for [I have] not [done them] of mine own
mind.
NU-16:29 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.
NU-16:30 But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open
her mouth, and
swallow them up, with all that [appertain] unto them, and they
go down quick
into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have
provoked the LORD.
