Numbers 16:41–49

⁴¹But on the next day all the congregation of the people of Israel ^zgrumbled against Moses and against Aaron, saying, “You have killed the people of the Lord.” ⁴²And when the congregation had assembled against Moses and against Aaron, they turned toward the tent of meeting. And behold, ^athe cloud covered it, and ^bthe glory of the Lord appeared. ⁴³And Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting, ⁴⁴and the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ^45c“Get away from the midst of this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.” ^dAnd they fell on their faces. ⁴⁶And Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer, and put fire on it from off the altar and lay incense on it and carry it quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them, for ^ewrath has gone out from the Lord; the plague has begun.” ⁴⁷So Aaron took it as Moses said and ran into the midst of the assembly. And behold, the plague had already begun among the people. And he put on the incense and made atonement for the people. ⁴⁸And he stood between the dead and the living, and ^fthe plague was stopped. ⁴⁹Now those who died in the plague were 14,700, ^gbesides those who died in the affair of Korah.
