Princes of the congregation the called of the assembly men of name And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron and said unto them Yee take too much upon you for all the congregation all of them are holy and Iehovah is among them and wherefore lift ye up your selves above the Church of Iehovah And Moses heard it and fell upon his face And hee spake unto Korah and unto all his congregation saying Even in the morning Iehovah will make knowne him that is his and who is holy and whom he will cause to come neere unto him even him whom he hath chosen hee will cause to come neere unto him This doe yee take unto you censers Korah and all his congregation And put ye fire in them and put incense on them before Iehovah to morrow and it shall be that the man whom Iehovah doth choose he shall be holy ye take too much upon you ye sons of Levi. And Moses said unto Korah Heare I pray you ye sons of Levi Is it a small thing for you that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel to bring you neere unto him to serve the service of the Tabernacle of Iehovah and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them And he hath brought thee neere and all thy brethren the sonnes of Levi with thee and seeke yee the Priesthood also For which cause thou and all thy congregation are gathered together against Iehovah and Aaron what is he that ye murmure against him And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab and they said We will not come up Is it a smal thing that thou hast brought us up out of the land that floweth with milke and honey to kill us in the wildernesse that thou makest thy selfe a Prince over us even making thy selfe a Prince Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milke honey givē unto vs an inheritāce of field vineyard wilt thou dig out the eies of these men we will not comeup And Moses was very wroth and he said unto Iehovah Respect not thou their offering I have not taken one asse from them neither have I hurt one of them And Moses said unto Korah Thou and all thy congregation be yee before Iehovah thou and they and Aaron to morrow And take yee every man his censer and put incense on them and bring ye neere before Iehovah every man his censer two hundred and fiftie censers and thou and Aaron each man his censer And they tooke every man his censer and put fire on them and put incense on them and they stood at the doore of the Tent of the congregation and Moses and Aaron And Korah gathered against them all the congregation unto the doore of the Tent of the congregation and the glory of Iehovah appeared unto all the congregation And Iehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron saying Separate your selves from among this congregation and I will consume them as in a moment 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 fervently wroth with all the congregation And Iehovah spake unto Moses saying Speake unto the congregation saying Get you up from about the Tabernacle of Korah Dathan and Abiram And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram and the Elders of Israel went after him And he spake unto the congregation saying Depart I pray you from the tents of these wicked men and touch not any thing that is theirs lest ye be consumed in all their sinnes And they went up from the Tabernacle of Korah Dathan and Abiram on every side and Dathan and Abiram came out and stood in the doore of their Tents and their wives and their sonnes and their little ones And Moses said Hereby ye shall know that Iehovah hath sent me to doe all these workes for I doe them not of mine owne heart If these men die as all men die and they be visited after the visitation of all men Iehovah hath not sent me But if Iehovah create a new thing and the earth open her mouth and swallow up them and all that appertaine unto them and they goe downe alive unto hell then ye shall know that these men have provoked Iehovah And it was as he had made an end of speaking all these words that the ground clave asunder which was under them And the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up them and their houses and all the men that appertained unto Korah and all their substance And they and all that appertained unto them went downe alive unto hell and the earth closed upon them and they perished from among the Church And all Israel that were round about them fled at the voice of them for they said Lest the earth swallow up us And a fire came forth from Iehovah and devoured the two hundred and fiftie men that offered incense And Iehovah spake unto Moses saying Speake unto Eleazar the sonne of Aaron the Priest that he take up the censers out of the burning and scatter thou the fire yonder for they are hallowed The censers of these sinners against their owne soules and let them make them broad plates for a covering of the Altar for they offered them before Iehovah and they are hallowed and they shall be for a signe unto the sonnes of Israel And Eleazar the Priest tooke the brazen censers which they that were burnt had offered and they were made broad plates for a covering of the Altar A memoriall unto the sonnes of Israel that not any stranger which is not of the seed of Aaron come neere to offer incense before Iehovah that he be not as Korah and as his congregation as Iehovah spake by the hand of Moses unto him And on the morrow all the congregation of the sonnes of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron saying you have killed the people of Iehovah And it was when the congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron that they looked towards the Tent of the congregation and behold the cloud covered it and the glory of Iehovah appeared And Moses and Aaron came before the Tent of the congregation And Iehovah spake unto Moses saying Get you up frō among this congregation I will consume them as in a moment and they fell upon their faces And Moses said unto Aaron Take the censer and put fire thereon from off the Altar and put on incense and goe quickly unto the congregation and make atonement for them for fervent wrath is gone out from before Iehovah the plague is begun And Aaron tooke as Moses had spoken and ranne into the midst of the Church and behold the plague was begun among the people and he put on incense and made atonement for the people And he stood betweene the dead and the living and the plague was stayed And they that died in the plague were
