Korah's Rebellion

1Now Korah,the sonof Izhar,the sonof Kohath,the sonof Levi,and Dathanand Abiram,the sonsof Eliab,and On,the sonof Peleth,sonsof Reuben,took[men]:2And they rose upbeforeMoses,with certainof the childrenof Israel,two hundredand fiftyprincesof the assembly,famousin the congregation,menof renown:3And they gathered themselves togetheragainst Mosesand against Aaron,and saidunto them, [Ye take] too muchupon you, seeing all the congregation[are] holy,every one of them, and the LORD[is] amongthem: wherefore then lift ye upyourselves above the congregationof the LORD?

4And when Mosesheard[it], he fellupon his face:5And he spakeunto Korahand unto all his company,saying,Even to morrowthe LORDwill shewwho [are] his, and [who is] holy;and will cause [him] to come nearunto him: even [him] whom he hath chosenwill he cause to come nearunto him.6This do;Takeyou censers,Korah,and all his company;7And putfiretherein,and putincensein them beforethe LORDto morrow:and it shall be [that] the manwhom the LORDdoth choose,he [shall be] holy:[ye take] too muchupon you, ye sonsof Levi.

8And Mosessaidunto Korah,Hear,I pray you, ye sonsof Levi:9[Seemeth it but] a small thingunto you, that the Godof Israelhath separatedyou from the congregationof Israel,to bring you nearto himself to dothe serviceof the tabernacleof the LORD,and to standbeforethe congregationto ministerunto them?10And he hath brought thee near[to him], and all thy brethrenthe sonsof Leviwith thee: and seekye the priesthoodalso?11For which cause[both] thou and all thy company[are] gathered togetheragainst the LORD:and what [is] Aaron,that ye murmur{08675;03885:08735} against him?

12And Mosessentto callDathanand Abiram,the sonsof Eliab:which said,We will not come up:13[Is it] a small thingthatthou hast brought us upout of a landthat flowethwith milkand honey,to killus in the wilderness,except thou makethyself altogethera princeover us?14Moreoverthou hast not broughtus into a landthat flowethwith milkand honey,or givenus inheritanceof fieldsand vineyards:wilt thou put outthe eyesof these men?we will not come up.

15And Moseswas verywroth,and saidunto the LORD,Respectnot thou their offering:I have not takenoneassfrom them, neither have I hurtoneof them.16And Mosessaidunto Korah,Be thou and all thy companybeforethe LORD,thou, and they, and Aaron,to morrow:17And takeevery manhis censer,and putincensein them, and bringye beforethe LORDevery manhis censer,two hundredand fiftycensers;thou also, and Aaron,each[of you] his censer.18And they tookevery manhis censer,and putfirein them, and laidincensethereon, and stoodin the doorof the tabernacleof the congregationwith Mosesand Aaron.19And Korahgatheredall the congregationagainst them unto the doorof the tabernacleof the congregation:and the gloryof the LORDappearedunto all the congregation.

20And the LORDspakeunto Mosesand unto Aaron,saying,21Separateyourselves from amongthis congregation,that I may consumethem in a moment.22And they fellupon their faces,and said,O God,the Godof the spiritsof all flesh,shall onemansin,and wilt thou be wrothwith all the congregation?

Moses Separates the People

23And the LORDspakeunto Moses,saying,24Speakunto the congregation,saying,Get you upfrom aboutthe tabernacleof Korah,Dathan,and Abiram.

25And Mosesrose upand wentunto Dathanand Abiram;and the eldersof Israelfollowedhim.26And he spakeunto the congregation,saying,Depart,I pray you, from the tentsof these wickedmen,and touchnothing of theirs, lest ye be consumedin all their sins.27So they gat upfrom the tabernacleof Korah,Dathan,and Abiram,on every side:and Dathanand Abiramcame out,and stoodin the doorof their tents,and their wives,and their sons,and their little children.28And Mosessaid,Hereby ye shall knowthat the LORDhath sentme to doall these works;for [I have] not [done them] of mine own mind.29If these men diethe common deathof all men,or if they be visitedafter the visitationof all men;[then] the LORDhath not sentme.30But if the LORDmakea new thing,and the earthopenher mouth,and swallow them up,with all that [appertain] unto them, and they go downquickinto the pit;then ye shall understandthat these menhave provokedthe LORD.

The Earth Swallows Up Korah

31And it came to pass, as he had made an endof speakingall these words,that the groundclave asunderthat [was] under them:32And the earthopenedher mouth,and swallowed them up,and their houses,and all the menthat [appertained] unto Korah,and all [their] goods.33They, and all that [appertained] to them, went downaliveinto the pit,and the earthclosedupon them: and they perishedfrom amongthe congregation.34And all Israelthat [were] round aboutthem fledat the cryof them: for they said,Lest the earthswallow us up[also].35And there came outa firefrom the LORD,and consumedthe two hundredand fiftymenthat offeredincense.

The Censers Reserved for Holy Use

36And the LORDspakeunto Moses,saying,37Speakunto Eleazarthe sonof Aaronthe priest,that he take upthe censersoutof the burning,and scatterthou the fireyonder;for they are hallowed.38The censersof these sinnersagainst their own souls,let them makethem broadplates[for] a coveringof the altar:for they offeredthem beforethe LORD,therefore they are hallowed:and they shall be a signunto the childrenof Israel.39And Eleazarthe priesttookthe brasencensers,wherewith they that were burnthad offered;and they were made broad[plates for] a coveringof the altar:40[To be] a memorialunto the childrenof Israel,thatno stranger,which [is] not of the seedof Aaron,come nearto offerincensebeforethe LORD;that he be not as Korah,and as his company:as the LORDsaidto him by the handof Moses.

Murmuring and Plague

(Numbers 25:1-5;1 Corinthians 10:1-13)

41But on the morrowall the congregationof the childrenof Israelmurmuredagainst Mosesand against Aaron,saying,Ye have killedthe peopleof the LORD.42And it came to pass, when the congregationwas gatheredagainst Mosesand against Aaron,that they lookedtoward the tabernacleof the congregation:and, behold, the cloudcoveredit, and the gloryof the LORDappeared.43And Mosesand Aaroncamebeforethe tabernacleof the congregation.44And the LORDspakeunto Moses,saying,45Get you upfrom amongthis congregation,that I may consumethem as in a moment.And they fellupon their faces.46And Mosessaidunto Aaron,Takea censer,and putfiretherein from offthe altar,and puton incense,and goquicklyunto the congregation,and make an atonementfor them: for there is wrathgone outfrom the LORD;the plagueis begun.47And Aarontookas Mosescommanded,and raninto the midstof the congregation;and, behold, the plaguewas begunamong the people:and he puton incense,and made an atonementfor the people.48And he stoodbetween the deadand the living;and the plaguewas stayed.49Now they that diedin the plaguewere fourteenthousandand sevenhundred,beside them that diedabout the matterof Korah.50And Aaronreturnedunto Mosesunto the doorof the tabernacleof the congregation:and the plaguewas stayed.
