Numbers 16:41–49

⁴¹But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of the Lord. ⁴²And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and behold, ^rthe cloud covered it, and ^sthe glory of the Lord appeared. ⁴³And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation. ⁴⁴And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, ^45tGet you up from among this congregation, that I ^umay consume them ^uas in a moment. And they fell upon their faces. ⁴⁶And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: ^xfor there is wrath gone out from the Lord; the plague is begun. ⁴⁷And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people. ⁴⁸And he stood between the dead and the living; and ^ythe plague was stayed. ⁴⁹Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, ^zbeside them that died about the matter of Korah.
