Now Korah{H7141}, the son{H1121} of Izhar{H3324}, the son{H1121} of Kohath{H6955}, the son{H1121} of Levi{H3878}, and 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}{(H8799)} men:

And they rose up{H6965}{(H8799)} before{H6440} Moses{H4872}, with certain{H582} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}, two hundred{H3967} and fifty{H2572} princes{H5387} of the assembly{H5712}, famous{H7148} in the congregation{H4150}, men{H582} of renown{H8034}:

And they gathered themselves together{H6950}{(H8735)} against Moses{H4872} and against Aaron{H175}, and said{H559}{(H8799)} unto them, Ye take too much{H7227} upon you, seeing all the congregation{H5712} are holy{H6918}, every one of them, and the LORD{H3068} is among{H8432} them: wherefore then lift ye up{H5375}{(H8691)} yourselves above the congregation{H6951} of the LORD{H3068}?

And when Moses{H4872} heard{H8085}{(H8799)} it, he fell{H5307}{(H8799)} upon his face{H6440}:

And he spake{H1696}{(H8762)} unto Korah{H7141} and unto all his company{H5712}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Even to morrow{H1242} the LORD{H3068} will shew{H3045}{(H8686)} who are his, and who is holy{H6918}; and will cause him to come near{H7126}{(H8689)} unto him: even him whom he hath chosen{H977}{(H8799)} will he cause to come near{H7126}{(H8686)} unto him.

This do{H6213}{(H8798)}; Take{H3947}{(H8798)} you censers{H4289}, Korah{H7141}, and all his company{H5712};

And put{H5414}{(H8798)} fire{H784} therein{H2004}, and put{H7760}{(H8798)} incense{H7004} in them before{H6440} the LORD{H3068} to morrow{H4279}: and it shall be that the man{H376} whom the LORD{H3068} doth choose{H977}{(H8799)}, he shall be holy{H6918}: ye take too much{H7227} upon you, ye sons{H1121} of Levi{H3878}.

And Moses{H4872} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Korah{H7141}, Hear{H8085}{(H8798)}, I pray you, 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}{(H8689)} you from the congregation{H5712} of Israel{H3478}, to bring you near{H7126}{(H8687)} to himself to do{H5647}{(H8800)} the service{H5656} of the tabernacle{H4908} of the LORD{H3068}, and to stand{H5975}{(H8800)} before{H6440} the congregation{H5712} to minister{H8334}{(H8763)} unto them?

And he hath brought thee near{H7126}{(H8686)} to him, and all thy brethren{H251} the sons{H1121} of Levi{H3878} with thee: and seek{H1245}{(H8765)} ye the priesthood{H3550} also?

For which cause{H3651} both thou and all thy company{H5712} are gathered together{H3259}{(H8737)} against the LORD{H3068}: and what is Aaron{H175}, that ye murmur{H3885}{(H8686)}{(H8675)}{H3885}{(H8735)} against him?

And Moses{H4872} sent{H7971}{(H8799)} to call{H7121}{(H8800)} Dathan{H1885} and Abiram{H48}, the sons{H1121} of Eliab{H446}: which said{H559}{(H8799)}, We will not come up{H5927}{(H8799)}:

Is it a small thing{H4592} that{H3588} thou hast brought us up{H5927}{(H8689)} out of a land{H776} that floweth{H2100}{(H8802)} with milk{H2461} and honey{H1706}, to kill{H4191}{(H8687)} us in the wilderness{H4057}, except thou make{H8323} thyself altogether{H8323}{(H8692)} a prince{H8323}{(H8691)} over us?

Moreover{H637} thou hast not brought{H935}{(H8689)} us into a land{H776} that floweth{H2100}{(H8802)} with milk{H2461} and honey{H1706}, or given{H5414}{(H8799)} us inheritance{H5159} of fields{H7704} and vineyards{H3754}: wilt thou put out{H5365}{(H8762)} the eyes{H5869} of these men{H582}? we will not come up{H5927}{(H8799)}.

And Moses{H4872} was very{H3966} wroth{H2734}{(H8799)}, and said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the LORD{H3068}, Respect{H6437}{(H8799)} not thou their offering{H4503}: I have not taken{H5375}{(H8804)} one{H259} ass{H2543} from them, neither have I hurt{H7489}{(H8689)} one{H259} of them.

And Moses{H4872} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Korah{H7141}, Be thou and all thy company{H5712} before{H6440} the LORD{H3068}, thou, and they, and Aaron{H175}, to morrow{H4279}:

And take{H3947}{(H8798)} every man{H376} his censer{H4289}, and put{H5414}{(H8804)} incense{H7004} in them, and bring{H7126}{(H8689)} ye before{H6440} the LORD{H3068} every man{H376} his censer{H4289}, two hundred{H3967} and fifty{H2572} censers{H4289}; thou also, and Aaron{H175}, each{H376} of you his censer{H4289}.

And they took{H3947}{(H8799)} every man{H376} his censer{H4289}, and put{H5414}{(H8799)} fire{H784} in them, and laid{H7760}{(H8799)} incense{H7004} thereon, and stood{H5975}{(H8799)} in the door{H6607} of the tabernacle{H168} of the congregation{H4150} with Moses{H4872} and Aaron{H175}.

And Korah{H7141} gathered{H6950}{(H8686)} all the congregation{H5712} against them unto the door{H6607} of the tabernacle{H168} of the congregation{H4150}: and the glory{H3519} of the LORD{H3068} appeared{H7200}{(H8735)} unto all the congregation{H5712}.

And the LORD{H3068} spake{H1696}{(H8762)} unto Moses{H4872} and unto Aaron{H175}, saying{H559}{(H8800)},

Separate{H914}{(H8734)} yourselves from among{H8432} this congregation{H5712}, that I may consume{H3615}{(H8762)} them in a moment{H7281}.

And they fell{H5307}{(H8799)} upon their faces{H6440}, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, O God{H410}, the God{H430} of the spirits{H7307} of all flesh{H1320}, shall one{H259} man{H376} sin{H2398}{(H8799)}, and wilt thou be wroth{H7107}{(H8799)} with all the congregation{H5712}?

And the LORD{H3068} spake{H1696}{(H8762)} unto Moses{H4872}, saying{H559}{(H8800)},

Speak{H1696}{(H8761)} unto the congregation{H5712}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Get you up{H5927}{(H8734)} from about{H5439} the tabernacle{H4908} of Korah{H7141}, Dathan{H1885}, and Abiram{H48}.

And Moses{H4872} rose up{H6965}{(H8799)} and went{H3212}{(H8799)} unto Dathan{H1885} and Abiram{H48}; and the elders{H2205} of Israel{H3478} followed{H3212}{(H8799)} him{H310}.

And he spake{H1696}{(H8762)} unto the congregation{H5712}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Depart{H5493}{(H8798)}, I pray you, from the tents{H168} of these wicked{H7563} men{H582}, and touch{H5060}{(H8799)} nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed{H5595}{(H8735)} in all their sins{H2403}.

So they gat up{H5927}{(H8735)} 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}{(H8804)}, and stood{H5324}{(H8737)} in the door{H6607} of their tents{H168}, and their wives{H802}, and their sons{H1121}, and their little children{H2945}.

And Moses{H4872} said{H559}{(H8799)}, Hereby ye shall know{H3045}{(H8799)} that the LORD{H3068} hath sent{H7971}{(H8804)} me to do{H6213}{(H8800)} all these works{H4639}; for I have not done them of mine own mind{H3820}.

If these men die{H4191}{(H8799)} the common death{H4194} of all men{H120}, or if they be visited{H6485}{(H8735)} after the visitation{H6486} of all men{H120}; then the LORD{H3068} hath not sent{H7971}{(H8804)} me.

But if the LORD{H3068} make{H1254}{(H8799)} a new thing{H1278}, and the earth{H127} open{H6475}{(H8804)} her mouth{H6310}, and swallow them up{H1104}{(H8804)}, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down{H3381}{(H8804)} quick{H2416} into the pit{H7585}; then ye shall understand{H3045}{(H8804)} that these men{H582} have provoked{H5006}{(H8765)} the LORD{H3068}.

And it came to pass, as he had made an end{H3615}{(H8763)} of speaking{H1696}{(H8763)} all these words{H1697}, that the ground{H127} clave asunder{H1234}{(H8735)} that was under them:

And the earth{H776} opened{H6605}{(H8799)} her mouth{H6310}, and swallowed them up{H1104}{(H8799)}, and their houses{H1004}, and all the men{H120} that appertained unto Korah{H7141}, and all their goods{H7399}.

They, and all that appertained to them, went down{H3381}{(H8799)} alive{H2416} into the pit{H7585}, and the earth{H776} closed{H3680}{(H8762)} upon them: and they perished{H6}{(H8799)} from among{H8432} the congregation{H6951}.

And all Israel{H3478} that were round about{H5439} them fled{H5127}{(H8804)} at the cry{H6963} of them: for they said{H559}{(H8804)}, Lest the earth{H776} swallow us up{H1104}{(H8799)} also.

And there came out{H3318}{(H8804)} a fire{H784} from the LORD{H3068}, and consumed{H398}{(H8799)} the two hundred{H3967} and fifty{H2572} men{H376} that offered{H7126}{(H8688)} incense{H7004}.

And the LORD{H3068} spake{H1696}{(H8762)} unto Moses{H4872}, saying{H559}{(H8800)},

Speak{H559}{(H8798)} unto Eleazar{H499} the son{H1121} of Aaron{H175} the priest{H3548}, that he take up{H7311}{(H8686)} the censers{H4289} out{H996} of the burning{H8316}, and scatter{H2219}{(H8798)} thou the fire{H784} yonder{H1973}; for they are hallowed{H6942}{(H8804)}.

The censers{H4289} of these sinners{H2400} against their own souls{H5315}, let them make{H6213}{(H8804)} them broad{H7555} plates{H6341} for a covering{H6826} of the altar{H4196}: for they offered{H7126}{(H8689)} them before{H6440} the LORD{H3068}, therefore they are hallowed{H6942}{(H8799)}: and they shall be a sign{H226} unto the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}.

And Eleazar{H499} the priest{H3548} took{H3947}{(H8799)} the brasen{H5178} censers{H4289}, wherewith they that were burnt{H8313}{(H8803)} had offered{H7126}{(H8689)}; and they were made broad{H7554}{(H8762)} plates for a covering{H6826} of the altar{H4196}:

To be a memorial{H2146} unto the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}, that{H834}{H4616} no stranger{H376}{H2114}{(H8801)}, which is not of the seed{H2233} of Aaron{H175}, come near{H7126}{(H8799)} to offer{H6999}{(H8687)} incense{H7004} before{H6440} the LORD{H3068}; that he be not as Korah{H7141}, and as his company{H5712}: as the LORD{H3068} said{H1696}{(H8765)} to him by the hand{H3027} of Moses{H4872}.

But on the morrow{H4283} all the congregation{H5712} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} murmured{H3885}{(H8735)} against Moses{H4872} and against Aaron{H175}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Ye have killed{H4191}{(H8689)} the people{H5971} of the LORD{H3068}.

And it came to pass, when the congregation{H5712} was gathered{H6950}{(H8736)} against Moses{H4872} and against Aaron{H175}, that they looked{H6437}{(H8799)} toward the tabernacle{H168} of the congregation{H4150}: and, behold, the cloud{H6051} covered{H3680}{(H8765)} it, and the glory{H3519} of the LORD{H3068} appeared{H7200}{(H8735)}.

And Moses{H4872} and Aaron{H175} came{H935}{(H8799)} before{H6440} the tabernacle{H168} of the congregation{H4150}.

And the LORD{H3068} spake{H1696}{(H8762)} unto Moses{H4872}, saying{H559}{(H8800)},

Get you up{H7426}{(H8734)} from among{H8432} this congregation{H5712}, that I may consume{H3615}{(H8762)} them as in a moment{H7281}. And they fell{H5307}{(H8799)} upon their faces{H6440}.

And Moses{H4872} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Aaron{H175}, Take{H3947}{(H8798)} a censer{H4289}, and put{H5414}{(H8798)} fire{H784} therein from off{H6440} the altar{H4196}, and put{H7760}{(H8798)} on incense{H7004}, and go{H3212}{(H8685)} quickly{H4120} unto the congregation{H5712}, and make an atonement{H3722}{(H8761)} for them: for there is wrath{H7110} gone out{H3318}{(H8804)} from the LORD{H3068}; the plague{H5063} is begun{H2490}{(H8689)}.

And Aaron{H175} took{H3947}{(H8799)} as Moses{H4872} commanded{H1696}{(H8765)}, and ran{H7323}{(H8799)} into the midst{H8432} of the congregation{H6951}; and, behold, the plague{H5063} was begun{H2490}{(H8689)} among the people{H5971}: and he put{H5414}{(H8799)} on incense{H7004}, and made an atonement{H3722}{(H8762)} for the people{H5971}.

And he stood{H5975}{(H8799)} between the dead{H4191}{(H8801)} and the living{H2416}; and the plague{H4046} was stayed{H6113}{(H8735)}.

Now they that died{H4191}{(H8801)} in the plague{H4046} were fourteen{H702}{H6240} thousand{H505} and seven{H7651} hundred{H3967}, beside them that died{H4191}{(H8801)} about the matter{H1697} of Korah{H7141}.

And Aaron{H175} returned{H7725}{(H8799)} unto Moses{H4872} unto the door{H6607} of the tabernacle{H168} of the congregation{H4150}: and the plague{H4046} was stayed{H6113}{(H8738)}.
