⁹ seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do the service of the tabernacle of Jehovah, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them;

¹⁰ and that he hath brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee? and seek ye the priesthood also?

¹¹ Therefore thou and all thy company are gathered together against Jehovah: and Aaron, what is he that ye murmur against him?

¹² And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said, We will not come up:

⁸ And Moses said to Core, Hearken to me, ye sons of Levi.

⁹ Is 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?

¹⁰ and he has brought thee near and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee, and do ye seek to be priests also?

¹¹ Thus it is with thee and all thy congregation which is gathered together against God: and who is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?

¹² And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiron sons of Eliab; and they said, We will not go up.

⁸ And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:

⁹ Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?

¹⁰ And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?

¹¹ For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?

¹² And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up:

⁸ And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:

⁹ Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?

⁹ Is 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?

¹⁰ And he has brought you near and all your brethren the sons of Levi with you, and do you° seek to be priests also?

¹⁰ and that he hath brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee? and seek ye the priesthood also?

¹¹ Therefore thou and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD: and Aaron, what is he that ye murmur against him?

¹² And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: and they said, We will not come up:

⁸ Then Moses/I spoke again to Korah. He/I said, “You men who are descendants of Levi, listen to me!

⁹ The God of us Israelis has chosen all of you to be close to him in order that you can work for him at his Sacred Tent and serve the people. ◄Is that unimportant/Does that mean nothing► to you RHQ?

¹⁰ Yahweh has brought you, Korah, and your fellow descendants of Levi, near to himself. Now are you demanding to become priests also?

¹¹ It is really Yahweh against whom you and your fellow descendants of Levi are rebelling. Aaron is not the one about whom you are really complaining RHQ.”

¹² Then Moses/I summoned Dathan and Abiram, but they refused to come. They sent a message saying, “We will not come to you!

⁸ And Moses said to Core, Listen to me, you° sons of Levi.

⁹ Is 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?

¹⁰ And he has brought you near and all your brethren the sons of Levi with you, and do you° seek to be priests also?

¹¹ Thus it is with you and all your congregation which is gathered together against God: and who is Aaron, that you° murmur against him?

¹² And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiron sons of Eliab; and they said, We will not go up.

⁸ Moses said to Korah, “Hear now, you sons of Levi!

⁹ Is it a small thing to you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do the service of Yahweh’s tabernacle, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them;

¹⁰ and that he has brought you near, and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you? Do you seek the priesthood also?

¹¹ Therefore you and all your company have gathered together against Yahweh! What is Aaron that you complain against him?”

¹² Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said, “We won’t come up!

⁸ Moses said to Korah, “Hear now, you sons of Levi!

⁹ Is it a small thing to you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do the service of Yahweh’s tabernacle, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them;

¹⁰ and that he has brought you near, and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you? Do you seek the priesthood also?

¹¹ Therefore you and all your company have gathered together against Yahweh! What is Aaron that you complain against him?”

¹² Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said, “We won’t come up!

⁸ Moses said to Korah, “Hear now, you sons of Levi!

⁹ Is it a small thing to you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do the service of the LORD’s tabernacle, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them;

¹⁰ and that he has brought you near, and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you? Do you seek the priesthood also?

¹¹ Therefore you and all your company have gathered together against the LORD! What is Aaron that you complain against him?”

¹² Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said, “We won’t come up!

⁸ And Moses said to Korah, Give ear now, you sons of Levi:

⁹ Does it seem only a small thing to you that the God of Israel has made you separate from the rest of Israel, letting you come near himself to do the work of the House of the Lord, and to take your place before the people to do what has to be done for them;

¹⁰ Letting you, and all your brothers the sons of Levi, come near to him? and would you now be priests?

¹¹ So you and all your band have come together against the Lord; and Aaron, who is he, that you are crying out against him?

¹² Then Moses sent for Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: and they said, We will not come up:

⁸ And Moses said to Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi!

⁹ Is it too little for you, that the God of Israel has separated you from the assembly of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the work of the tabernacle of Jehovah, and to stand before the assembly to minister to them?

¹⁰ — that he has brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee; and seek ye now the priesthood also?

¹¹ For which cause thou and all thy band are banded together against Jehovah; and Aaron, who is he that ye murmur against him?

¹² And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; but they said, We will not come up!

⁸ And he said again to Core: Hear ye sons of Levi.

⁹ Is 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?

¹⁰ Did 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,

¹¹ And that all thy company should stand against the Lord? for what is Aaron that you murmur against him?

¹² Then Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab. But they answered: We will not come.

⁸ Moses also told Korah, “Listen, you Levites!

⁹ Do you think it's something insignificant that the God of Israel chose you from all the other Israelites and allowed you to approach him and carry out the work in the Lord's Tabernacle, to stand before the Israelites and serve them?

¹⁰ He has allowed you the privilege of approaching him, Korah, you and all the other Levites, but now you want to have the priesthood as well!

¹¹ So in reality you and those who have joined you are fighting against the Lord—because who is Aaron that you should complain about him?”

¹² Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, but they replied, “We're not going to appear before you!

⁸ Againe Moses saide vnto Korah, Heare, I pray you, ye sonnes of Leui.

⁹ Seemeth it a small thing vnto you that the God of Israel hath separated you from the multitude of Israel, to take you neere to himselfe, to doe the seruice of the Tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the Congregation and to minister vnto them?

¹⁰ He hath also taken thee to him, and all thy brethren the sonnes of Leui with thee, and seeke ye the office of the Priest also?

¹¹ For which cause, thou, and all thy companie are gathered together against the Lord: and what is Aaron, that ye murmure against him?

¹² And Moses sent to call Dathan, and Abiram the sonnes of Eliab: who answered, We will not come vp.

⁸ And Moses said unto Korah: 'Hear now, ye sons of Levi:

⁹ is it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to Himself, to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them;

¹⁰ and that He hath brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee? and will ye seek the priesthood also?

¹¹ Therefore thou and all thy company that are gathered together against the LORD — ; and as to Aaron, what is he that ye murmur against him?'

¹² And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said: 'We will not come up;

⁸ And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:

⁹ seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?

¹¹ For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the Lord: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?

¹² And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up:

⁸ And Moses said unto Korach, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:

⁹ It is too little for you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near unto himself, to do the service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the congregation to minister for them?

¹⁰ And he hath brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and now will ye seek the priesthood also?

¹¹ For which cause beware, thou and all thy company that are gathered together against the Lord; for Aaron, what is he, that ye should murmur against him:

¹² And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; but they said, We will not come up:

⁸ And Moses said to Korah, Hearken to me, ye sons of Levi.

⁹ Is 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?

¹⁰ and he has brought thee near and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee, and do ye seek to be priests also?

¹¹ Thus it is with thee and all thy congregation which is gathered together against God: and who is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?

¹² And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram sons of Eliab; and they said, We will not go up.

⁸ And Mosheh said to Korach, Hear now, sons of Levi:

⁹ Is it a little thing with you that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel to bring you near before Him to perform the service of the Lord’s tabernacle, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them?

¹⁰ But He hath brought thee nigh, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek you now the High Priesthood also?

¹¹ Therefore thou and all thy company have gathered together against the Lord. And Aharon, what is he, that you murmur against him?

¹² And Mosheh, sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; but they said, We will not come up.

⁸ Moses Drawn out said to Korach Bald one, Frost, “Sh'ma ·Hear obey· now, you sons of Levi United with!

⁹ Is it a small thing to you, that the God of Israel God prevails has separated you from the congregation of Israel God prevails, to bring you near to himself, to do the service of Adonai ’s tabernacle, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them;

¹⁰ and that he has brought you near, and all your brothers the sons of Levi United with with you? Do you seek the priesthood also?

¹¹ Therefore you and all your company have gathered together against Adonai ! What is Aaron Light-bringer that you murmur against him?”

¹² Moses Drawn out sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said, “We won’t come up!

⁸ Again, Moses said to Korah, “Now listen, you descendants of Levi:

⁹ is it a small thing for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the community of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do work in Yahweh's tabernacle, and to stand before the community to serve them?

¹⁰ He has brought you near, and all your kinfolk, the descendants of Levi, with you, yet you are seeking the priesthood also!

¹¹ That is why you and all your group have gathered together against Yahweh. So why are you complaining about Aaron, who obeys Yahweh?”

¹² Then Moses called for Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, but they said, “We will not come up.

⁸ Moses said to Korah, “Hear now, you sons of Levi!

⁹ Is it a small thing to you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do the service of Yahweh’s tabernacle, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them;

¹⁰ and that he has brought you near, and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you? Do you seek the priesthood also?

¹² Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said, “We won’t come up!

⁸ And Moses said to Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:

⁹ Seemeth it but a small thing to you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them?

¹⁰ And he hath brought thee near to him , and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?

¹¹ For which cause both thou and all thy company are assembled against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?

¹² And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: who said, We will not come up:

⁸ Moses said to Korah, “Hear now, you sons of Levi!

⁹ Is it a small thing to you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do the service of the LORD’s tabernacle, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them;

⁸ And again Moses said to Korah, Ye sons of Levi, hear.

⁹ Whether it is little to you, that God of Israel hath separated you from all the people, and hath joined you to himself, that ye should serve him in the service of the tabernacle, and that ye should stand before the multitude of the people, and serve him?

¹⁰ Made he therefore thee, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi, to nigh to himself, that ye challenge to you also priesthood,

¹¹ and all thy gathering together stand against the Lord? For why, what is Aaron, that ye grutch against him?

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

⁸ And again Moses said to Korah, Ye sons of Levi, hear.

⁹ Whether it is little to you (or Is it such a small thing for you), that (the) God of Israel hath separated you from all the people, and hath joined you to himself, (so) that ye should serve him in the service of the tabernacle, and that ye should stand before the multitude of the people, and serve him, (yea, serve Almighty God)?

¹⁰ Made he therefore thee, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi (with thee), to nigh to himself, that ye challenge to you also (the) priesthood, (Yea, he made thee, and all thy brothers, or thy kinsmen, the Levites, with thee, just for that, to be near him; but now ye seek the priesthood for yourselves as well,)

¹¹ and (for that), all thy gathering together stand against the Lord? For why, what is Aaron, that ye grouch against him? (and for that, all thy company now stand against the Lord! For what is Aaron, that ye should grumble against him?)

¹² Therefore Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; which answered, We come not. (And so Moses sent for Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; but they answered, We shall not come to thee.)

⁸ And eft Moises seide to Chore, Ye sones of Leuy, here.

⁹ Whether it is litil to you, that God of Israel departide you fro al the puple, and ioynede you to hym silf, that ye schulden serue hym in the seruyce of tabernacle, and that ye schulden stonde bifor the multitude of puple, and schulden serue hym?
