Numbers 16:1-50

16:1
Now Korah
<07141>_,
the son
<01121>
of Izhar
<03324>_,
the son
<01121>
of Kohath
<06955>_,
the son
<01121>
of Levi
<03878>_,
and Dathan
<01885>
and Abiram
<048>_,
the sons
<01121>
of Eliab
<0446>_,
and On
<0203>_,
the son
<01121>
of Peleth
<06431>_,
sons
<01121>
of Reuben
<07205>_,
took
<03947> (8799)
[men]:
16:2
And they rose up
<06965> (8799)
before
<06440>
Moses
<04872>_,
with certain
<0582>
of the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
two hundred
<03967>
and fifty
<02572>
princes
<05387>
of the assembly
<05712>_,
famous
<07148>
in the congregation
<04150>_,
men
<0582>
of renown
<08034>_:
16:3
And they gathered themselves together
<06950> (8735)
against Moses
<04872>
and against Aaron
<0175>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, [Ye take] too much
<07227>
upon you, seeing all the congregation
<05712>
[are] holy
<06918>_,
every one of them, and the LORD
<03068>
[is] among
<08432>
them: wherefore then lift ye up
<05375> (8691)
yourselves above the congregation
<06951>
of the LORD
<03068>_?
{Ye take...: Heb. It is much for you}
16:4
And when Moses
<04872>
heard
<08085> (8799)
[it], he fell
<05307> (8799)
upon his face
<06440>_:
16:5
And he spake
<01696> (8762)
unto Korah
<07141>
and unto all his company
<05712>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Even to morrow
<01242>
the LORD
<03068>
will shew
<03045> (8686)
who [are] his, and [who is] holy
<06918>_;
and will cause [him] to come near
<07126> (8689)
unto him: even [him] whom he hath chosen
<0977> (8799)
will he cause to come near
<07126> (8686)
unto him.
16:6
This do
<06213> (8798)_;
Take
<03947> (8798)
you censers
<04289>_,
Korah
<07141>_,
and all his company
<05712>_;
16:7
And put
<05414> (8798)
fire
<0784>
therein
<02004>_,
and put
<07760> (8798)
incense
<07004>
in them before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>
to morrow
<04279>_:
and it shall be [that] the man
<0376>
whom the LORD
<03068>
doth choose
<0977> (8799)_,
he [shall be] holy
<06918>_:
[ye take] too much
<07227>
upon you, ye sons
<01121>
of Levi
<03878>_.
16:8
And Moses
<04872>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Korah
<07141>_,
Hear
<08085> (8798)_,
I pray you, ye sons
<01121>
of Levi
<03878>_:
16:9
[Seemeth it but] a small thing
<04592>
unto you, that the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
hath separated
<0914> (8689)
you from the congregation
<05712>
of Israel
<03478>_,
to bring you near
<07126> (8687)
to himself to do
<05647> (8800)
the service
<05656>
of the tabernacle
<04908>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and to stand
<05975> (8800)
before
<06440>
the congregation
<05712>
to minister
<08334> (8763)
unto them?
16:10
And he hath brought thee near
<07126> (8686)
[to him], and all thy brethren
<0251>
the sons
<01121>
of Levi
<03878>
with thee: and seek
<01245> (8765)
ye the priesthood
<03550>
also?
16:11
For which cause
<03651>
[both] thou and all thy company
<05712>
[are] gathered together
<03259> (8737)
against the LORD
<03068>_:
and what [is] Aaron
<0175>_,
that ye murmur
<03885> (8686) (8675) <03885> (8735)
against him?
16:12
And Moses
<04872>
sent
<07971> (8799)
to call
<07121> (8800)
Dathan
<01885>
and Abiram
<048>_,
the sons
<01121>
of Eliab
<0446>_:
which said
<0559> (8799)_,
We will not come up
<05927> (8799)_:
16:13
[Is it] a small thing
<04592>
that
<03588>
thou hast brought us up
<05927> (8689)
out of a land
<0776>
that floweth
<02100> (8802)
with milk
<02461>
and honey
<01706>_,
to kill
<04191> (8687)
us in the wilderness
<04057>_,
except thou make
<08323> (0)
thyself altogether
<08323> (8692)
a prince
<08323> (8691)
over us?
16:14
Moreover
<0637>
thou hast not brought
<0935> (8689)
us into a land
<0776>
that floweth
<02100> (8802)
with milk
<02461>
and honey
<01706>_,
or given
<05414> (8799)
us inheritance
<05159>
of fields
<07704>
and vineyards
<03754>_:
wilt thou put out
<05365> (8762)
the eyes
<05869>
of these men
<0582>_?
we will not come up
<05927> (8799)_.
{put...: Heb. bore out}
16:15
And Moses
<04872>
was very
<03966>
wroth
<02734> (8799)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
Respect
<06437> (8799)
not thou their offering
<04503>_:
I have not taken
<05375> (8804)
one
<0259>
ass
<02543>
from them, neither have I hurt
<07489> (8689)
one
<0259>
of them.
16:16
And Moses
<04872>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Korah
<07141>_,
Be thou and all thy company
<05712>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
thou, and they, and Aaron
<0175>_,
to morrow
<04279>_:
16:17
And take
<03947> (8798)
every man
<0376>
his censer
<04289>_,
and put
<05414> (8804)
incense
<07004>
in them, and bring
<07126> (8689)
ye before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>
every man
<0376>
his censer
<04289>_,
two hundred
<03967>
and fifty
<02572>
censers
<04289>_;
thou also, and Aaron
<0175>_,
each
<0376>
[of you] his censer
<04289>_.
16:18
And they took
<03947> (8799)
every man
<0376>
his censer
<04289>_,
and put
<05414> (8799)
fire
<0784>
in them, and laid
<07760> (8799)
incense
<07004>
thereon, and stood
<05975> (8799)
in the door
<06607>
of the tabernacle
<0168>
of the congregation
<04150>
with Moses
<04872>
and Aaron
<0175>_.
16:19
And Korah
<07141>
gathered
<06950> (8686)
all the congregation
<05712>
against them unto the door
<06607>
of the tabernacle
<0168>
of the congregation
<04150>_:
and the glory
<03519>
of the LORD
<03068>
appeared
<07200> (8735)
unto all the congregation
<05712>_.
16:20
And the LORD
<03068>
spake
<01696> (8762)
unto Moses
<04872>
and unto Aaron
<0175>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
16:21
Separate
<0914> (8734)
yourselves from among
<08432>
this congregation
<05712>_,
that I may consume
<03615> (8762)
them in a moment
<07281>_.
16:22
And they fell
<05307> (8799)
upon their faces
<06440>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
O God
<0410>_,
the God
<0430>
of the spirits
<07307>
of all flesh
<01320>_,
shall one
<0259>
man
<0376>
sin
<02398> (8799)_,
and wilt thou be wroth
<07107> (8799)
with all the congregation
<05712>_?
16:23
And the LORD
<03068>
spake
<01696> (8762)
unto Moses
<04872>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
16:24
Speak
<01696> (8761)
unto the congregation
<05712>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Get you up
<05927> (8734)
from about
<05439>
the tabernacle
<04908>
of Korah
<07141>_,
Dathan
<01885>_,
and Abiram
<048>_.
16:25
And Moses
<04872>
rose up
<06965> (8799)
and went
<03212> (8799)
unto Dathan
<01885>
and Abiram
<048>_;
and the elders
<02205>
of Israel
<03478>
followed
<03212> (8799)
him
<0310>_.
16:26
And he spake
<01696> (8762)
unto the congregation
<05712>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Depart
<05493> (8798)_,
I pray you, from the tents
<0168>
of these wicked
<07563>
men
<0582>_,
and touch
<05060> (8799)
nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed
<05595> (8735)
in all their sins
<02403>_.
16:27
So they gat up
<05927> (8735)
from the tabernacle
<04908>
of Korah
<07141>_,
Dathan
<01885>_,
and Abiram
<048>_,
on every side
<05439>_:
and Dathan
<01885>
and Abiram
<048>
came out
<03318> (8804)_,
and stood
<05324> (8737)
in the door
<06607>
of their tents
<0168>_,
and their wives
<0802>_,
and their sons
<01121>_,
and their little children
<02945>_.
16:28
And Moses
<04872>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Hereby ye shall know
<03045> (8799)
that the LORD
<03068>
hath sent
<07971> (8804)
me to do
<06213> (8800)
all these works
<04639>_;
for [I have] not [done them] of mine own mind
<03820>_.
16:29
If these men die
<04191> (8799)
the common death
<04194>
of all men
<0120>_,
or if they be visited
<06485> (8735)
after the visitation
<06486>
of all men
<0120>_;
[then] the LORD
<03068>
hath not sent
<07971> (8804)
me. {the common...: Heb. as every man dieth}
16:30
But if the LORD
<03068>
make
<01254> (8799)
a new thing
<01278>_,
and the earth
<0127>
open
<06475> (8804)
her mouth
<06310>_,
and swallow them up
<01104> (8804)_,
with all that [appertain] unto them, and they go down
<03381> (8804)
quick
<02416>
into the pit
<07585>_;
then ye shall understand
<03045> (8804)
that these men
<0582>
have provoked
<05006> (8765)
the LORD
<03068>_.
{make...: Heb. create a creature}
16:31
And it came to pass, as he had made an end
<03615> (8763)
of speaking
<01696> (8763)
all these words
<01697>_,
that the ground
<0127>
clave asunder
<01234> (8735)
that [was] under them:
16:32
And the earth
<0776>
opened
<06605> (8799)
her mouth
<06310>_,
and swallowed them up
<01104> (8799)_,
and their houses
<01004>_,
and all the men
<0120>
that [appertained] unto Korah
<07141>_,
and all [their] goods
<07399>_.
16:33
They, and all that [appertained] to them, went down
<03381> (8799)
alive
<02416>
into the pit
<07585>_,
and the earth
<0776>
closed
<03680> (8762)
upon them: and they perished
<06> (8799)
from among
<08432>
the congregation
<06951>_.
16:34
And all Israel
<03478>
that [were] round about
<05439>
them fled
<05127> (8804)
at the cry
<06963>
of them: for they said
<0559> (8804)_,
Lest the earth
<0776>
swallow us up
<01104> (8799)
[also].
16:35
And there came out
<03318> (8804)
a fire
<0784>
from the LORD
<03068>_,
and consumed
<0398> (8799)
the two hundred
<03967>
and fifty
<02572>
men
<0376>
that offered
<07126> (8688)
incense
<07004>_.
16:36
And the LORD
<03068>
spake
<01696> (8762)
unto Moses
<04872>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
16:37
Speak
<0559> (8798)
unto Eleazar
<0499>
the son
<01121>
of Aaron
<0175>
the priest
<03548>_,
that he take up
<07311> (8686)
the censers
<04289>
out
<0996>
of the burning
<08316>_,
and scatter
<02219> (8798)
thou the fire
<0784>
yonder
<01973>_;
for they are hallowed
<06942> (8804)_.
16:38
The censers
<04289>
of these sinners
<02400>
against their own souls
<05315>_,
let them make
<06213> (8804)
them broad
<07555>
plates
<06341>
[for] a covering
<06826>
of the altar
<04196>_:
for they offered
<07126> (8689)
them before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
therefore they are hallowed
<06942> (8799)_:
and they shall be a sign
<0226>
unto the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_.
16:39
And Eleazar
<0499>
the priest
<03548>
took
<03947> (8799)
the brasen
<05178>
censers
<04289>_,
wherewith they that were burnt
<08313> (8803)
had offered
<07126> (8689)_;
and they were made broad
<07554> (8762)
[plates for] a covering
<06826>
of the altar
<04196>_:
16:40
[To be] a memorial
<02146>
unto the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
that
<0834> <04616>
no stranger
<0376> <02114> (8801)_,
which [is] not of the seed
<02233>
of Aaron
<0175>_,
come near
<07126> (8799)
to offer
<06999> (8687)
incense
<07004>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_;
that he be not as Korah
<07141>_,
and as his company
<05712>_:
as the LORD
<03068>
said
<01696> (8765)
to him by the hand
<03027>
of Moses
<04872>_.
16:41
But on the morrow
<04283>
all the congregation
<05712>
of the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
murmured
<03885> (8735)
against Moses
<04872>
and against Aaron
<0175>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Ye have killed
<04191> (8689)
the people
<05971>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
16:42
And it came to pass, when the congregation
<05712>
was gathered
<06950> (8736)
against Moses
<04872>
and against Aaron
<0175>_,
that they looked
<06437> (8799)
toward the tabernacle
<0168>
of the congregation
<04150>_:
and, behold, the cloud
<06051>
covered
<03680> (8765)
it, and the glory
<03519>
of the LORD
<03068>
appeared
<07200> (8735)_.
16:43
And Moses
<04872>
and Aaron
<0175>
came
<0935> (8799)
before
<06440>
the tabernacle
<0168>
of the congregation
<04150>_.
16:44
And the LORD
<03068>
spake
<01696> (8762)
unto Moses
<04872>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
16:45
Get you up
<07426> (8734)
from among
<08432>
this congregation
<05712>_,
that I may consume
<03615> (8762)
them as in a moment
<07281>_.
And they fell
<05307> (8799)
upon their faces
<06440>_.
16:46
And Moses
<04872>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Aaron
<0175>_,
Take
<03947> (8798)
a censer
<04289>_,
and put
<05414> (8798)
fire
<0784>
therein from off
<06440>
the altar
<04196>_,
and put
<07760> (8798)
on incense
<07004>_,
and go
<03212> (8685)
quickly
<04120>
unto the congregation
<05712>_,
and make an atonement
<03722> (8761)
for them: for there is wrath
<07110>
gone out
<03318> (8804)
from the LORD
<03068>_;
the plague
<05063>
is begun
<02490> (8689)_.
16:47
And Aaron
<0175>
took
<03947> (8799)
as Moses
<04872>
commanded
<01696> (8765)_,
and ran
<07323> (8799)
into the midst
<08432>
of the congregation
<06951>_;
and, behold, the plague
<05063>
was begun
<02490> (8689)
among the people
<05971>_:
and he put
<05414> (8799)
on incense
<07004>_,
and made an atonement
<03722> (8762)
for the people
<05971>_.
16:48
And he stood
