And
Korah, son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi, taketh
both
Dathan and Abiram sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth, sons of Reuben,
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:
and they rise
up before Moses, with men
of the sons
of Israel, two hundred and fifty ,
princes of the company
, called
of
the convention
, men of name,
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:
and they are
assembled
against Moses and against Aaron, and say
unto them, `Enough
of
you !
for
all the company
--
all
of
them
`
are '
holy, and in
their
midst
`
is '
Jehovah;
and
wherefore do
ye
lift yourselves
up above the assembly
of Jehovah
? '
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
?
And Moses heareth
, and
falleth
on
his face ,
And when
Moses heard
it
, he
fell
upon
his face :
and he speaketh
unto Korah ,
and unto all his company, saying, `Morning!
--
and
Jehovah
is
knowing
those
who are his, and him
who is holy ,
and hath
brought
near unto Him ;
even him whom He doth
fix
on
He bringeth
near unto Him.
And he spake
unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even
to
morrow
the
LORD
will
show
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.
This do :
take to
yourselves
censers, Korah, and all his company ,
This do ;
Take you
censers, Korah, and all his company ;
and put in
them
fire, and put on
them perfume,
before Jehovah
to -
morrow ,
and it hath
been,
the man whom Jehovah
chooseth
, he `is'
the
holy one;
--
enough
of
you, sons of Levi. '
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.
And Moses saith
unto Korah, `
Hear ye
, I pray you, sons of Levi ;
And Moses said
unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye
sons of Levi :
is
it little
to
you that the God of Israel hath separated you from the company
of Israel to bring you near unto
Himself ,
to do the service of the tabernacle of Jehovah
, and to stand before the company
to serve
them? --
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?
yea,
He doth
bring
thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee --
and ye have
sought
also
the priesthood !
And
he hath
brought
thee near to
him
, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee :
and seek
ye the priesthood also?
Therefore,
thou and all thy company who
are met
`are'
against Jehovah;
and Aaron,
what `
is '
he
, that ye murmur against him? '
For
which
cause
both
thou and all thy company are gathered
together
against the
LORD:
and what is Aaron
, that ye murmur against him?
And Moses sendeth
to call for
Dathan and for
Abiram sons of Eliab ,
and
they
say
, `
We do
not come up ;
And Moses sent
to call Dathan and Abiram ,
the
sons of Eliab :
which
said
, We will
not come up :
is it little
that thou hast brought us up out of a land flowing
with milk and honey to put
us to
death
in a
wilderness that
thou also
certainly
makest
thyself prince over us?
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?
Yea,
unto
a land flowing
with milk and honey thou
hast
not
brought
us
in
, nor
dost
thou
give
to
us an
inheritance of field
and vineyard;
the eyes of these men dost
thou
pick
out
? we do
not come up. '
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.
And it
is
very
displeasing
to
Moses, and he
saith
unto Jehovah
, `Turn
not Thou unto
their present;
not one ass from them have
I
taken
, nor
have I afflicted
one of them. '
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.
And Moses saith
unto Korah, `
Thou and all thy company ,
be
ye
before Jehovah
, thou, and they, and Aaron, to -
morrow ;
And Moses said
unto Korah, Be
thou and all thy company before the
LORD
, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow :
and take ye
each
his censer, and ye
have
put on
them perfume
, and brought
near
before Jehovah,
each
his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; and
thou and Aaron, each his censer. '
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.
And they take
each
his censer, and put on
them
fire, and lay
on
them
perfume
, and they
stand
at
the opening
of the tent
of meeting,
with Moses and Aaron.
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.
And Korah assembleth
against
them
all the company
unto the opening
of the tent
of meeting,
and the honour
of Jehovah
is
seen
by
all the company
.
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
.
And Jehovah
speaketh
unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
And the
LORD
spake
unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
`Be
ye
separated
from the
midst
of
this company
, and
I consume them in a moment ;'
Separate
yourselves
from among
this congregation
, that
I may
consume them in a moment .
and they fall
on
their faces, and say
, `
God, God of the spirits of all flesh --
the
one man sinneth
, and against
all
the
company
Thou art
wroth !'
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?
And Jehovah
speaketh
unto Moses, saying,
And the
LORD
spake
unto Moses, saying,
`
Speak unto the company
, saying, Go
ye
up from round
about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. '
Speak unto the congregation
, saying, Get
you
up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
And Moses riseth,
and goeth
unto Dathan and Abiram ,
and the elders of Israel go
after
him ,
And Moses rose
up
and went
unto Dathan and Abiram ;
and the elders of Israel followed
him .
and he speaketh
unto the company
, saying, `Turn
aside
, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and come
not
against
anything
that
they
have
, lest ye be consumed in all their sins. '
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.
And
they go
up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan and Abiram, from
round
about,
and Dathan ,
and Abiram have
come
out, standing
at
the opening
of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their infants
.
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
.
And Moses saith
, `By
this
ye do
know that Jehovah
hath sent me to do all these works ,
that
`they
are'
not from
my
own heart;
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.
if according
to
the death of all men these
die
--
or the charge
of all men is
charged
upon
them
--
Jehovah
hath not sent me ;
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 .
and
if a strange
thing Jehovah
do
, and the ground
hath
opened
her mouth and swallowed
them, and
all that they
have
, and they have
gone
down alive
to
Sheol
--
then ye have
known
that these men have despised
Jehovah
. '
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
.
And it cometh
to pass at
his
finishing
speaking all these words, that the ground which
`is'
under them cleaveth,
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 :
and the earth openeth
her mouth, and swalloweth
them, and their houses, and all the men who
`are'
for
Korah, and all the
goods ,
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 .
and
they go
down
, they,
and all that they
have
, alive to
Sheol
, and the earth closeth
over
them ,
and they perish
from the
midst
of
the assembly;
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.
and all Israel who
`are'
round about them have
fled at their
voice,
for they said, `
Lest the earth swallow us ;'
And all Israel that
were
round about them fled at the
cry
of
them:
for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up
also.
and fire
hath
come
out from Jehovah
, and consumeth
the two hundred and fifty men bringing
near
the
perfume
.
And there
came
out a
fire
from the
LORD
, and consumed
the two hundred and fifty men that
offered
incense
.
And Jehovah
speaketh
unto Moses, saying,
And the
LORD
spake
unto Moses, saying,
`Say
unto Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, and
he lifteth
up the censers from
the
midst
of the burning, and the
fire
scatter thou yonder ,
for they have
been
hallowed ,
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 .
`even'
the censers of these sinners against their own souls ;
and
they
have
made
them spread-out
plates ,
a covering for
the altar ,
for they have
brought
them near
before Jehovah
, and
they are hallowed ;
and they are
become
a sign to
the sons
of Israel. '
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.
And Eleazar the priest taketh
the brazen censers which
they who
are
burnt had brought
near,
and they spread
them
out,
a covering for
the altar --
And Eleazar the priest took
the brazen censers ,
wherewith
they that
were
burnt had offered;
and they were
made
broad
plates
for
a covering of
the altar :
a memorial to
the sons
of Israel, so
that a
stranger who
is not of the seed of Aaron doth
not
draw
near to make
a
perfume
before Jehovah,
and
is
not as Korah, and as his company ,
--
as Jehovah
hath
spoken
by the hand of Moses to
him
.
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.
And
all the company
of the sons
of Israel murmur,
on
the
morrow,
against Moses and against Aaron, saying, `
Ye --
ye
have put
to
death
the people of Jehovah
. '
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
.
And it cometh
to pass, in
the company
being
assembled
against Moses and against Aaron, that they turn
towards
the tent
of meeting,
and lo
, the cloud hath
covered it, and the honour
of Jehovah
is
seen;
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.
and Moses cometh
--
Aaron also
--
unto
the front
of the tent
of
meeting
.
And Moses and
Aaron came
before
the tabernacle
of the congregation
.
And Jehovah
speaketh
unto Moses, saying,
And the
LORD
spake
unto Moses, saying,
`
Get you up from the
midst
of
this company
, and
I consume them in a moment ;'
and they fall
on
their faces ,
Get you up from among
this congregation
, that
I may
consume them as
in a moment .
And they fell
upon
their faces .
and Moses saith
unto Aaron, `
Take the
censer, and put on
it
fire from off the altar, and place
perfume
, and go ,
hasten
unto the company
, and make atonement for them ,
for the
wrath hath
gone out from the presence
of
Jehovah
--
the plague hath
begun. '
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.
And Aaron taketh
as Moses hath
spoken
, and runneth
unto
the midst of the assembly,
and lo
, the plague hath
begun among the people ;
and he giveth
the
perfume
, and maketh
atonement for the people ,
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 .
and standeth
between the dead and the living ,
and the plague is
restrained;
And he
stood
between the dead and the living ;
and the plague was
stayed.
and
those
who
die
by
the plague are
fourteen thousand and seven hundred, apart
from
those
who
die
for
the matter of Korah ;
Now
they
that
died
in
the plague were
fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside
them
that
died
about
the matter of Korah .
and Aaron turneth
back
unto Moses ,
unto the opening
of the tent
of meeting,
and the plague hath
been
restrained
.
And Aaron returned
unto Moses unto the door
of the tabernacle
of the
congregation:
and the plague was
stayed
.
