    16Moses said to Korah, "You and all your followers are to appear before the Lord tomorrow—you, they, and Aaron.

    17Each man is to take his censer, put incense in it, and present it before the Lord—250 censers in all. You and Aaron are also to do the same, each with his censer.

    18So each of them took his censer, put fire and incense in it, and stood with Moses and Aaron at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

    19When Korah had assembled the entire community against them at the entrance to the tent of meeting, the glory of the Lord appeared to the whole assembly.

    20The Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

    21"Separate yourselves from this assembly so I can put an end to them at once."

    22But Moses and Aaron fell facedown and cried out, "O God, the God who gives breath to all living things, will you be angry with the entire assembly when only one man sins?"

    24"Say to the assembly, 'Move away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.'"

    27So they moved away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram had come out and were standing with their wives, children, and little ones at the entrances to their tents.
