I

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 L
ORD
is
among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the
congregation of the L
ORD
?
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 L
ORD
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 L
ORD
to morrow: and it shall be
that
the man whom the
L
ORD
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 L
ORD
, 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 L
ORD
: 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 L
ORD
, 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 L
ORD
, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:
17
And take every man his censer, and put
incense in them, and bring ye before the L
ORD
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 L
ORD
appeared unto all the congregation.
20
And
the L
ORD
spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
21
Separate yourselves from among this
