Numbers 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: Copy 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 : Copy 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 ? Copy 4 And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face : Copy 5 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. Copy 6 This do ; Take you censers , Korah , and all his company ; Copy 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 . Copy 8 And Moses said unto Korah , Hear , I pray you, ye sons of Levi : Copy 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? Copy 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? Copy 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? Copy 12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram , the sons of Eliab : which said , We will not come up : Copy 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 ? Copy 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 . Copy 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. Copy 16 And Moses said unto Korah , Be thou and all thy company before the Lord , thou, and they, and Aaron , to morrow : Copy 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 . Copy 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 . Copy 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 . Copy 20 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron , saying , Copy 21 Separate yourselves from among this congregation , that I may consume them in a moment . Copy 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 ? Copy 23 And the Lord spake unto Moses , saying , Copy 24 Speak unto the congregation , saying , Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah , Dathan , and Abiram . Copy 25 And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram ; and the elders of Israel followed him . Copy 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 . Copy 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 . Copy 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 . Copy 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. Copy 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 . Copy 31 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: Copy 32 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 . Copy 33 They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit , and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation . Copy 34 And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said , Lest the earth swallow us up also. Copy 35 And there came out a fire from the Lord , and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense . Copy 36 And the Lord spake unto Moses , saying , Copy 37 Speak 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 hallowed . Copy 38 The censers of these sinners against their own souls , let them make them broad plates for a covering of the altar : for they offered them before the Lord , therefore they are hallowed : and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel . Copy 39 And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers , wherewith they that were burnt had offered ; and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar : Copy 40 To be a memorial unto the children of Israel , that no stranger , which is not of the seed of Aaron , come near to offer incense before the Lord ; that he be not as Korah , and as his company : as the Lord said to him by the hand of Moses . Copy 41 But 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 . Copy 42 And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron , that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation : and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared . Copy 43 And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation . Copy 44 And the Lord spake unto Moses , saying , Copy 45 Get you up from among this congregation , that I may consume them as in a moment . And they fell upon their faces . Copy 46 And Moses said unto Aaron , Take a censer , and put fire therein from off the altar , and put on incense , and go quickly unto the congregation , and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the Lord ; the plague is begun . Copy 47 And Aaron took as Moses commanded , and ran into the midst of the congregation ; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people : and he put on incense , and made an atonement for the people . Copy 48 And he stood between the dead and the living ; and the plague was stayed . Copy 49 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred , beside them that died about the matter of Korah . Copy 50 And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation : and the plague was stayed . Copy
