Numbers 16:12-26

¹²Therefore Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; which answered, We come not.

¹³Whether is it little to thee, that thou leddest us out of the land that flowed with milk and honey, to slay us in the desert, no but also thou be lord of us?

¹⁴Verily thou hast brought us into the land that floweth with streams of milk and honey, andthou hast given to us possession of fields, and of vineyards; whether also thou wilt put out our eyes? We come not to thee.

¹⁵And Moses was wroth greatly, and said to the Lord, Behold thou not the sacrifices of them; thou knowest that I took never of them a little ass, neither I tormented any of them.

¹⁶And Moses said to Korah, Thou and all thy congregation stand asides half before the Lord, and Aaron tomorrow by himself.

¹⁷Take ye all by yourselves your censers, and put ye incense in those, and offer ye to the Lord, twain or two hundred and fifty censers; and Aaron hold he his censer.

¹⁸And when they had done this, while Moses and Aaron stood there,

¹⁹and they had gathered all the multitude to the door of the tabernacle against them, the glory of the Lord appeared to all.

²⁰And the Lord spake to Moses and to Aaron, and said,

²¹Be ye separated from the midst of this congregation, that I lose them suddenly.

²²The which fell down low upon their faces, and said, Most strong God of the spirits of all flesh, whether thy wrath shall be fierce against all men, for one man sinneth?

²³And the Lord said to Moses,

²⁴Command thou to all the people, that it be separated from the tabernacles of Korah, and of Dathan, and of Abiram.

²⁵And Moses rose, and went to Dathan and Abiram; and while the elder men of Israel followed him,

²⁶he said to the company, Go ye away from the tabernacles of the wicked men, and do not ye touch those things that pertain to them, lest ye be wrapped in the sins of them.
