Numbers [In the desert] 16:5-16

⁵He said to Korach Bald one, Frost and to all his company, “In the morning, Adonai will show who are his, and who is holy, and will cause him to come near to him. Even him whom he shall choose, he will cause to come near to him.

⁶Do this: take censers, Korach Bald one, Frost, and all his company;

⁷and put fire in them, and put incense on them before Adonai tomorrow. It shall be that the man whom Adonai chooses, he shall be holy. You have gone too far, you sons of Levi United with!”

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

⁹Is 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;

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

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

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

¹³Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, but you must also make yourself a prince over us? (2)

¹⁴Moreover you haven’t brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you put out the eyes of these men? We won’t come up.”

¹⁵Moses Drawn out was very angry, and said to Adonai , “Don’t respect their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them, neither have I hurt one of them.”

¹⁶Moses Drawn out said to Korach Bald one, Frost, “You and all your company go before Adonai , you, and they, and Aaron Light-bringer, tomorrow.
