Now Korah,{H7141} the son{H1121} of Izhar,{H3324} the son{H1121} of Kohath,{H6955} the son{H1121} of Levi,{H3878} with Dathan{H1885} and Abiram,{H48} the sons{H1121} of Eliab,{H446} and On,{H203} the son{H1121} of Peleth,{H6431} sons{H1121} of Reuben,{H7205} took{H3947} [men]:

and they rose up{H6965} before{H6440} Moses,{H4872} with certain{H582} of the children{H1121} of Israel,{H3478} two hundred{H3967} and fifty{H2572} princes{H5387} of the congregation,{H4150} called{H7148} to the assembly,{H5712} men{H582} of renown;{H8034}

and they assembled themselves together{H6950} against Moses{H4872} and against Aaron,{H175} and said{H559} unto them, Ye take too much{H7227} upon you, seeing all the congregation{H5712} are holy,{H6918} every one of them, and Jehovah{H3068} is among{H8432} them: wherefore then lift ye up{H5375} yourselves above the assembly{H6951} of Jehovah?{H3068}

And when Moses{H4872} heard{H8085} it, he fell{H5307} upon his face:{H6440}

and he spake{H1696} unto Korah{H7141} and unto all his company,{H5712} saying,{H559} In the morning{H1242} Jehovah{H3068} will show{H3045} who are his, and who is holy,{H6918} and will cause him to come near{H7126} unto him: even him whom he shall choose{H977} will he cause to come near{H7126} unto him.

This do:{H6213} take{H3947} you censers,{H4289} Korah,{H7141} and all his company;{H5712}

and put{H5414} fire{H784} in them,{H2004} and put{H7760} incense{H7004} upon them before{H6440} Jehovah{H3068} to-morrow:{H4279} and it shall be that the man{H376} whom Jehovah{H3068} doth choose,{H977} he [shall be] holy:{H6918} ye take too much{H7227} upon you, ye sons{H1121} of Levi.{H3878}

And Moses{H4872} said{H559} unto Korah,{H7141} Hear{H8085} now, ye sons{H1121} of Levi:{H3878}

[ seemeth it but] a small thing{H4592} unto you, that the God{H430} of Israel{H3478} hath separated{H914} you from the congregation{H5712} of Israel,{H3478} to bring you near{H7126} to himself, to do{H5647} the service{H5656} of the tabernacle{H4908} of Jehovah,{H3068} and to stand{H5975} before{H6440} the congregation{H5712} to minister{H8334} unto them;

and that he hath brought thee near,{H7126} and all thy brethren{H251} the sons{H1121} of Levi{H3878} with thee? and seek{H1245} ye the priesthood{H3550} also?

Therefore{H3651} thou and all thy company{H5712} are gathered together{H3259} against Jehovah:{H3068} and Aaron,{H175} what is he that ye murmur{H3885} against him?

And Moses{H4872} sent{H7971} to call{H7121} Dathan{H1885} and Abiram,{H48} the sons{H1121} of Eliab;{H446} and they said,{H559} We will not come up:{H5927}

is it a small thing{H4592} that{H3588} thou hast brought us up{H5927} out of a land{H776} flowing{H2100} with milk{H2461} and honey,{H1706} to kill{H4191} us in the wilderness,{H4057} but thou must needs make{H8323} thyself also{H8323} a prince{H8323} over us?

Moreover{H637} thou hast not brought{H935} us into a land{H776} flowing{H2100} with milk{H2461} and honey,{H1706} nor given{H5414} us inheritance{H5159} of fields{H7704} and vineyards:{H3754} wilt thou put out{H5365} the eyes{H5869} of these men?{H582} we will not come up.{H5927}

And Moses{H4872} was very{H3966} wroth,{H2734} and said{H559} unto Jehovah,{H3068} Respect{H6437} not thou their offering:{H4503} I have not taken{H5375} one{H259} ass{H2543} from them, neither have I hurt{H7489} one{H259} of them.

And Moses{H4872} said{H559} unto Korah,{H7141} Be thou and all thy company{H5712} before{H6440} Jehovah,{H3068} thou, and they, and Aaron,{H175} to-morrow:{H4279}

and take{H3947} ye every man{H376} his censer,{H4289} and put{H5414} incense{H7004} upon them, and bring{H7126} ye before{H6440} Jehovah{H3068} every man{H376} his censer,{H4289} two hundred{H3967} and fifty{H2572} censers;{H4289} thou also, and Aaron,{H175} each{H376} his censer.{H4289}

And they took{H3947} every man{H376} his censer,{H4289} and put{H5414} fire{H784} in them, and laid{H7760} incense{H7004} thereon, and stood{H5975} at the door{H6607} of the tent{H168} of meeting{H4150} with Moses{H4872} and Aaron.{H175}

And Korah{H7141} assembled{H6950} all the congregation{H5712} against them unto the door{H6607} of the tent{H168} of meeting:{H4150} and the glory{H3519} of Jehovah{H3068} appeared{H7200} unto all the congregation.{H5712}

And Jehovah{H3068} spake{H1696} unto Moses{H4872} and unto Aaron,{H175} saying,{H559}

Separate{H914} yourselves from among{H8432} this congregation,{H5712} that I may consume{H3615} them in a moment.{H7281}

And they fell{H5307} upon their faces,{H6440} and said,{H559} O God,{H410} the God{H430} of the spirits{H7307} of all flesh,{H1320} shall one{H259} man{H376} sin,{H2398} and wilt thou be wroth{H7107} with all the congregation?{H5712}

And Jehovah{H3068} spake{H1696} unto Moses,{H4872} saying,{H559}

Speak{H1696} unto the congregation,{H5712} saying,{H559} Get you up{H5927} from about{H5439} the tabernacle{H4908} of Korah,{H7141} Dathan,{H1885} and Abiram.{H48}

And Moses rose up{H6965} and went{H3212} unto Dathan{H1885} and Abiram;{H48} and the elders{H2205} of Israel{H3478} followed{H3212} him.{H310}

And he spake{H1696} unto the congregation,{H5712} saying,{H559} Depart,{H5493} I pray you, from the tents{H168} of these wicked{H7563} men,{H582} and touch{H5060} nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed{H5595} in all their sins.{H2403}

So they gat them up{H5927} from the tabernacle{H4908} of Korah,{H7141} Dathan,{H1885} and Abiram,{H48} on every side:{H5439} and Dathan{H1885} and Abiram{H48} came out,{H3318} and stood{H5324} at the door{H6607} of their tents,{H168} and their wives,{H802} and their sons,{H1121} and their little ones.{H2945}

And Moses{H4872} said,{H559} Hereby ye shall know{H3045} that Jehovah{H3068} hath sent{H7971} me to do{H6213} all these works;{H4639} for [I have] not [done them] of mine own mind.{H3820}

If these men die{H4191} the common death{H4194} of all men,{H120} or if they be visited{H6485} after the visitation{H6486} of all men;{H120} then Jehovah{H3068} hath not sent{H7971} me.

But if Jehovah{H3068} make{H1254} a new thing,{H1278} and the ground{H127} open{H6475} its mouth,{H6310} and swallow them up,{H1104} with all that appertain unto them, and they go down{H3381} alive{H2416} into Sheol;{H7585} then ye shall understand{H3045} that these men{H582} have despised{H5006} Jehovah.{H3068}

And it came to pass, as he made an end{H3615} of speaking{H1696} all these words,{H1697} that the ground{H127} clave asunder{H1234} that was under them;

and the earth{H776} opened{H6605} its mouth,{H6310} and swallowed them up,{H1104} and their households,{H1004} and all the men{H120} that appertained unto Korah,{H7141} and all their goods.{H7399}

So they, and all that appertained to them, went down{H3381} alive{H2416} into Sheol:{H7585} and the earth{H776} closed{H3680} upon them, and they perished{H6} from among{H8432} the assembly.{H6951}

And all Israel{H3478} that were round about{H5439} them fled{H5127} at the cry{H6963} of them; for they said,{H559} Lest the earth{H776} swallow us up.{H1104}

And fire{H784} came forth{H3318} from Jehovah,{H3068} and devoured{H398} the two hundred{H3967} and fifty{H2572} men{H376} that offered{H7126} the incense.{H7004}

And Jehovah{H3068} spake{H1696} unto Moses,{H4872} saying,{H559}

Speak{H559} unto Eleazar{H499} the son{H1121} of Aaron{H175} the priest,{H3548} that he take up{H7311} the censers{H4289} out{H996} of the burning,{H8316} and scatter{H2219} thou the fire{H784} yonder;{H1973} for they are holy,{H6942}

even the censers{H4289} of these sinners{H2400} against their own lives;{H5315} and let them be made{H6213} beaten{H7555} plates{H6341} for a covering{H6826} of the altar:{H4196} for they offered{H7126} them before{H6440} Jehovah;{H3068} therefore they are holy;{H6942} and they shall be a sign{H226} unto the children{H1121} of Israel.{H3478}

And Eleazar{H499} the priest{H3548} took{H3947} the brazen{H5178} censers,{H4289} which they that were burnt{H8313} had offered;{H7126} and they beat{H7554} them out for a covering{H6826} of the altar,{H4196}

to be a memorial{H2146} unto the children{H1121} of Israel,{H3478} to the end that{H834} no stranger,{H376} that is not of the seed{H2233} of Aaron,{H175} come near{H7126} to burn{H6999} incense{H7004} before{H6440} Jehovah;{H3068} that he be not as Korah,{H7141} and as his company:{H5712} as Jehovah{H3068} spake{H1696} unto him by{H3027} Moses.{H4872}

But on the morrow{H4283} all the congregation{H5712} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} murmured{H3885} against Moses{H4872} and against Aaron,{H175} saying,{H559} Ye have killed{H4191} the people{H5971} of Jehovah.{H3068}

And it came to pass, when the congregation{H5712} was assembled{H6950} against Moses{H4872} and against Aaron,{H175} that they looked{H6437} toward the tent{H168} of meeting:{H4150} and, behold, the cloud{H6051} covered{H3680} it, and the glory{H3519} of Jehovah{H3068} appeared.{H7200}

And Moses{H4872} and Aaron{H175} came{H935} to the front{H6440} of the tent{H168} of meeting.{H4150}

And Jehovah{H3068} spake{H1696} unto Moses,{H4872} saying,{H559}

Get you up{H7426} from among{H8432} this congregation,{H5712} that I may consume{H3615} them in a moment.{H7281} And they fell{H5307} upon their faces.{H6440}

And Moses{H4872} said{H559} unto Aaron,{H175} Take{H3947} thy censer,{H4289} and put{H5414} fire{H784} therein from off{H6440} the altar,{H4196} and lay{H7760} incense{H7004} thereon, and carry{H3212} it quickly{H4120} unto the congregation,{H5712} and make atonement{H3722} for them: for there is wrath{H7110} gone out{H3318} from Jehovah;{H3068} the plague{H5063} is begun.{H2490}

And Aaron{H175} took{H3947} as Moses{H4872} spake,{H1696} and ran{H7323} into the midst{H8432} of the assembly;{H6951} and, behold, the plague{H5063} was begun{H2490} among the people:{H5971} and he put{H5414} on the incense,{H7004} and made atonement{H3722} for the people.{H5971}

And he stood{H5975} between the dead{H4191} and the living;{H2416} and the plague{H4046} was stayed.{H6113}

Now they that died{H4191} by the plague{H4046} were fourteen{H702} thousand{H505} and seven{H7651} hundred,{H3967} besides them that died{H4191} about the matter{H1697} of Korah.{H7141}

And Aaron{H175} returned{H7725} unto Moses{H4872} unto the door{H6607} of the tent{H168} of meeting:{H4150} and the plague{H4046} was stayed.{H6113}
