5And speaking to Core and all the multitude, he said: In the morning the Lord will make known who belong to him, and the holy he will join to himself: and whom he shall choose, they shall approach to him.
6Do this therefore: Take every man of you your censers, thou Core, and all thy company.
7And putting fire in them tomorrow, put incense upon it before the Lord: and whomsoever he shall choose, the same shall be holy: you take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.
8And he said again to Core: Hear ye sons of Levi.
9Is it a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath spared you from all the people, and joined you to himself, that you should serve him in the service of the tabernacle, and should stand before the congregation of the people, and should minister to him?
10Did he therefore make thee and all thy brethren the sons of Levi to approach unto him, that you should challenge to yourselves the priesthood also,
11And that all thy company should stand against the Lord? for what is Aaron that you murmur against him?
12Then Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab. But they answered: We will not come.
13Is it a small matter to thee, that thou hast brought us out of a land that flowed with milk and honey, to kill us in the desert, except thou rule also like a lord over us?
14Thou best brought us indeed into a land that floweth with rivers of milk and honey, and hast given us possessions of fields and vineyards; wilt thou also pull out our eyes? We will not come.
15Moses therefore being very angry, raid to the Lord: Respect not their sacrifices: thou knowest that I have not taken of them so much as a young ass at any time, nor have injured any of them.
16And he said to Core: Do thou and thy congregation stand apart before the Lord tomorrow, and Aaron apart.
17Take every one of you censers, and put incense upon them, offering to the Lord two hundred and fifty censers: let Aaron also hold his censer.
18When they had done this, Moses and Aaron standing,
19And had drawn up all the multitude against them to the door of the tabernacle, the glory of the Lord appeared to them all.
20And the Lord speaking to Moses and Aaron, said:
21Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may presently destroy them.
22They fell flat on their face, and said: O most mighty, the God of the spirits of all flesh, for one man’s sin shall thy wrath rage against all?
23And the Lord said to Moses:
24Command the whole people to separate themselves from the tents of Core and Dathan and Abiron.
