Now Korah,

of Levi,
and Dathan
and Abiram,
the sons
of Eliab,
and On,

took
men:
And they rose up
before
Moses,

of the children

in the congregation,

of renown:

And they gathered themselves together
against Moses
and against Aaron,

unto them, Ye take too much

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 when Moses
heard
it, he fell
upon his face:
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.
This do;
Take
you censers,
Korah,
and all his company;
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
said
unto Korah,
Hear,
I pray you, ye sons
of Levi:
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?
And he hath brought thee near
to him, and all thy brethren
the sons
of Levi
with thee: and seek
ye the priesthood
also?
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
sent
to call
Dathan
and Abiram,
the sons
of Eliab:
which said,
We will not come up:
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?
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 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 take

Separate

O God,

And the LORD

Get you up

And Moses
rose up
and went
unto Dathan
and Abiram;
and the elders
of Israel
followed
him.
And he spake
unto the congregation,
saying,
Depart,
I pray you, from the tents

and touch
nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed
in all their sins.

And Moses

Hereby ye shall know

hath sent
me to do
all these works;
for I have not done them of mine own mind.
If these men die

or if they be visited

And the earth
opened

and their houses,
and all the men
that appertained unto Korah,

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
that were round about
them fled
at the cry
of them: for they said,
Lest the earth
swallow us up
also.
And there came out
a fire
from the LORD,
and consumed
the two hundred

men
that offered
incense.
And the LORD
spake
unto Moses,
saying,
Speak
unto Eleazar

the priest,
that he take up
the censers
out
of the burning,
and scatter
thou the fire
yonder;

But on the morrow
all the congregation
of the children

murmured
against Moses

saying,
Ye have killed

And it came to pass, when the congregation
was gathered
against Moses

that they looked
toward the tabernacle

Take
