Chapter 16
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:
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:
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?
4
And
when
Moses
heard
it,
he
fell
upon
his
face:
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.
6
This
do;
Take
you
censers,
Korah,
and
all
his
company;
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.
8
And
Moses
said
unto
Korah,
Hear,
I
pray
you,
ye
sons
of
Levi:
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?
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?
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?
12
And
Moses
sent
to
call
Dathan
and
Abiram,
the
sons
of
Eliab:
which
said,
We
will
not
come
up:
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?
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.
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.
16
And
Moses
said
unto
Korah,
Be
thou
and
all
thy
company
before
the
Lord,
thou,
and
they,
and
Aaron,
to
morrow:
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.
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.
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.
20
And
the
Lord
spake
unto
Moses
and
unto
Aaron,
saying,
21
Separate
yourselves
from
among
this
congregation,
that
I
may
consume
them
in
a
moment.
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?
23
And
the
Lord
spake
unto
Moses,
saying,
24
Speak
unto
the
congregation,
saying,
Get
you
up
from
about
the
tabernacle
of
Korah,
Dathan,
and
Abiram.
25
And
Moses
rose
up
and
went
unto
Dathan
and
Abiram;
and
the
elders
of
Israel
followed
him.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
35
And
there
came
out
a
fire
from
the
Lord,
and
consumed
the
two
hundred
and
fifty
men
that
offered
incense.
36
And
the
Lord
spake
unto
Moses,
saying,
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
43
And
Moses
and
Aaron
came
before
the
tabernacle
of
the
congregation.
44
And
the
Lord
spake
unto
Moses,
saying,
45
Get
you
up
from
among
this
congregation,
that
I
may
consume
them
as
in
a
moment.
And
they
fell
upon
their
faces.
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.
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.
48
And
he
stood
between
the
dead
and
the
living;
and
the
plague
was
stayed.
49
Now
they
that
died
in
the
plague
were
fourteen
thousand
and
seven
hundred,
beside
them
that
died
about
the
matter
of
Korah.
50
And
Aaron
returned
unto
Moses
unto
the
door
of
the
tabernacle
of
the
congregation:
and
the
plague
was
stayed.
