Why then do you exalt yourselves above the community of the LORD. 4 When Moses heard it he fell down with his face to the ground. 5 Then he said to Korah and to all his company,“In the morning the LORD will make known who are his, and who is holy. He will cause that person to approach him; the person he has chosen he will cause to approach him. 6 Do this, Korah, you and all your company: Take censers, 7 put fire in them, and set incense on them before the LORD tomorrow, and the man whom the LORD chooses will be holy.

Gather us from among the nations! Then we will give thanks to your holy name, and boast about your praiseworthy deeds. 48 The LORD God of Israel deserves praise, in the future and forevermore. Let all the people say,“We agree! Praise the LORD!”
