RF NUM 16:1 The Revolt of Korah.
Korah, the son of Itzhar, the son of Kahath, the descendant of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, sons of Aliab, and Ann, the son of Pelath. the son of Reuben,
RF NUM 16:2 conspired and stood up to resist Moses, with a hundred and fifty others of the princes of the Parliament of the children of Israel, titled nobles of the nation;
RF NUM 16:3 and they addressed Moses and Aaron and said to them; "You assume too much to yourselves;—for all the Parliament, all of them, are sacred, and the EVER-LIVING is among them."
RF NUM 16:4 When Moses heard it, he bowed his head,
RF NUM 16:5 and spoke to Korah and all his band, saying; "In the morning JEHOVAH will make known who are His, and sacred; and who are to approach to Him, and whom He has chosen to approach to Himself.
RF NUM 16:6 Let Korah and all his band take bowls for themselves,
RF NUM 16:7 and put fire and sweet incense into them, and the men whom. JEHOVAH chooses shall be the Sacred. You are presumptuous, sons of Levi."
RF NUM 16:8 And Moses continued to Korah, "Listen, now, sons of Levi.
RF NUM 16:9 Was it too little for you that the GOD of Israel appointed you from among the families of Israel, to approach to Him, to perform the services of the sanctuary of the EVER-LIVING,
RF NUM 16:10 and to stand before the congregation to minister, and included you and all your brothers with you,—but would you demand the Priesthood also?
RF NUM 16:11 However, you, and all your associates, station yourselves before the EVER-LIVING together with Aaron.—What is he that you should murmur against him?"
RF NUM 16:12 Then Moses sent to summons Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Aliab, but they would not come, but replied 'We will not come!
RF NUM 16:13 Is it nothing that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey to kill us in this desert,—that you would dominate over us as a tyrant?
RF NUM 16:14 You have brought us to no land flowing with milk and honey! nor given us farms and vineyards to possess! Would you dig out the eyes of these men? We will not come!"
RF NUM 16:15 Moses was very angry at this and said to JEHOVAH; "I have not taken as a gift even an ass from them, and I have not wronged one of them."
RF NUM 16:16 Then Moses said to Korah, "Let you and all your associates come before the EVER-LIVING,—you, and they, and Aaron to-morrow;
RF NUM 16:17 and let each take a censer and put on it incense, and present it before the EVER-LIVING,—each of the hundred and fifty, a censer; and you and Aaron, each a censer."
RF NUM 16:18 So each took his censer; and they put fire in their censers, and offered incense upon it, and stationed themselves at the door of the Hall of Assembly, with Moses and Aaron.
RF NUM 16:19 Korah also collected all his associates with himself at the door of the Hall of Assembly, and the Glory of the EVER-LIVING appeared to all the congregation.
RF NUM 16:20 But the EVER-LIVING spoke to Moses and to Aaron saying,
RF NUM 16:21 "You shall be magnified in the midst of this Assembly,—but I will consume them with might!"
RF NUM 16:22 They however fell upon their faces and said, "GOD, the GOD giving life to all flesh! one man only has sinned,—and will you be angry with all the Parliament?"
RF NUM 16:23 Destruction of Korah, Dathan and Abiram.
Then the EVER-LIVING spoke to Moses, saying;
RF NUM 16:24 "Speak to Parliament and command them to run out from around the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram."
RF NUM 16:25 Moses therefore arose, and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the Judges of Israel went after him,
RF NUM 16:26 and they spoke to the Parliament saying; "Remove from the halls of these depraved men, and touch nothing belonging to them, for fear you should share in their sin."
RF NUM 16:27 Consequently they came away from the tents of Dathan and Abiram; but Dathan and Abiram came and stood at the opening of their tents, with their wives and children, and infants.
RF NUM 16:28 Then Moses spoke and said;—"You shall learn by this whether JEHOVAH has sent me to do all these things; for I have not done them by myself;—
RF NUM 16:29 if these die as all men die, and the fate of all men falls upon them, then the EVER-LIVING has not sent me.
RF NUM 16:30 But if JEHOVAH prepares it, and the earth opens her mouth and swallows them, and all who are with them, and they go down alive to the grave,—then you will know that the EVER-LIVING has rejected these men."
RF NUM 16:31 And it occurred that as he finished speaking these words, the ground split under them,
RF NUM 16:32 and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them and their homes, and all the men who were with Korah,
RF NUM 16:33 and all their wealth; and they, and all who were with them, rushed down alive into the grave, and the earth closed over them, and they perished in the midst of the public.
RF NUM 16:34 Then all Israel who were around them fled with a shriek; for they said,
RF NUM 16:35 "The earth may swallow us also." Fire also came out from JEHOVAH and consumed the hundred and fifty men as they offered incense.
RF NUM 16:36 The EVER-LIVING then spoke to Moses saying;
RF NUM 16:37 "Command Aliazar the son of Aaron the priest, to collect the censers from among the burnt people, and the fire, for they are sacred.
RF NUM 16:38 "The censers of these sinners are for their lives, and you shall make of them thin spread plates for the altar, for they have been presented before the EVER-LIVING and are sacred, and they shall be warnings to the children of Israel."
RF NUM 16:39 (Aliazar, the priest, subsequently took the censers of brass which the burnt persons presented, and made plates of them for the altar.)
RF NUM 16:40 "And the children of Israel shall remember the reason why a strange man, who is not of the family of Aaron, may not approach to offer incense before the EVER-LIVING, so that he may not be like Korah; and that they may know that JEHOVAH has spoken by the medium of Moses."
RF NUM 16:41 The Parliament and the Crowd Mutiny.
But all the Parliament of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron next day, exclaiming;—"You have killed the People of the EVER-LIVING!"
RF NUM 16:42 But when the Parliament collected against Moses and Aaron, they retreated to the Hall of Assembly, and then the cloud descended, and the Glory of the EVER-LIVING appeared,
RF NUM 16:43 so Moses and Aaron came into the front of the Hall of Assembly,
RF NUM 16:44 and JEHOVAH spoke to Moses, saying;—
RF NUM 16:45 "Rise up from the midst of this crowd and I will consume them with might." But they fell on their faces
RF NUM 16:46 and Moses said to Aaron, "Take you a censer, and put fire into it from off the altar, and place incense, and go quickly and make an expiation for them, because anger is coming from the EVER-LIVING to strike the profane."
RF NUM 16:47 So Aaron did as Moses commanded, and rushed into the midst of the meeting, where the stroke of destruction was on the People, and offered incense and expiated for the nation,
RF NUM 16:48 and stood between the living and the dead;—and the stroke was arrested.
RF NUM 16:49 But the dead from the stroke were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides those who died over the affair of Korah.
RF NUM 16:50 Then Aaron returned to Moses to the opening of the Hall of Assembly, and the stroke was arrested.
