Numbers 16:41–50

⁴¹And the whole assembly of the children of Israel murmured on the morrow against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of Jehovah. ⁴²And it came to pass, when the assembly was gathered together against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting, and behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of Jehovah appeared. ⁴³And Moses and Aaron went before the tent of meeting. ⁴⁴And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ⁴⁵Get you up from the midst of this assembly, and I will consume them in a moment. And they fell on their faces. ⁴⁶And Moses said to Aaron, Take the censer, and put fire thereon from off the altar, and lay on incense, and carry it quickly to the assembly, and make atonement for them; for there is wrath gone out from Jehovah: the plague is begun. ⁴⁷And Aaron took as Moses had said, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and behold, the plague had begun among the people; and he put on incense, and made atonement for the people. ⁴⁸And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed. ⁴⁹Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides them that had died because of the matter of Korah. ⁵⁰And Aaron returned to Moses to the entrance of the tent of meeting; and the plague was stayed.
