Numbers 16:1-6

¹One day Korah, who was the son of Izhar and a descendant of Levi's son Kohath, conspired with Dathan and Abiram, who were the sons of Eliab, and On, who was the son of Peleth. Those three men were from the tribe of Reuben.

²Korah and those other three men incited 250 other people who were leaders among the Israeli people to join them in rebelling against Moses/me.

³They came together to criticize Aaron and Moses/me. They said to them/us, “You two are using more authority than you should! Yahweh has set apart all of us Israeli people, and he is with/helping all of us. So why do you act as though you are more important than the rest of us people who belong to Yahweh RHQ?”

⁴When Moses/I heard what they were saying, he/I prostrated himself/myself on the ground.

⁵Then he/I said to Korah and those Israeli leaders who were with Korah, “Tomorrow morning Yahweh will show us whom he has chosen to be his priest, and who is holy and allowed to come near to him. Yahweh will permit only those whom he chooses to come into his presence.

⁶So Korah, tomorrow you and those who are with you must prepare your pans to burn incense.
