3They rose up against Moses and Aaron, and said, Let it be enough for you that all the congregation are holy, and the Lord is among them; and why do ye set up yourselves against the congregation of the Lord?
4And when Moses heard it, he fell on his face.
5And he spoke to Core and all his assembly, saying, God has visited and known those that are his and who are holy, and has brought them to himself; and whom he has chosen for himself, he has brought to himself.
6This do ye: take to yourselves censers, Core and all his company;
7and put fire on them, and put incense on them before the Lord to-morrow; and it shall come to pass that the man whom the Lord has chosen, he shall be holy: let it be enough for you, ye sons of Levi.
8And Moses said to Core, Hearken to me, ye sons of Levi.
9Is it a little thing for you, that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, and brought you near to himself to minister in the services of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the tabernacle to minister for them?
10and he has brought thee near and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee, and do ye seek to be priests also?
11Thus it is with thee and all thy congregation which is gathered together against God: and who is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?
