22 And wif ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the Lord hath spoken unto Moses, 23 Even all that the Lord hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the Lord commanded Moses, and henceforward among your generations; 24 Then it shall be, if ought be committed by ignorance †without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the Lord, xwith his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the ||manner, and yone kid of the goats for a sin offering. 25 zAnd the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord, for their ignorance: 26 And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people were in ignorance. 27 And aif any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering. 28 bAnd the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the Lord, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him. 29 cYe shall have one law for him that †sinneth through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them. 30 dBut the soul that doeth ought †presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same ereproacheth the Lord; and fthat soul shall be cut off from among his people. 31 Because he hath gdespised the word of the Lord, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.

32 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that hgathered sticks upon the sabbath day. 33 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation. 34 And they put him iin ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him. 35 And the Lord said unto Moses, jThe man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall kstone him with stones without the camp. 36 And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the Lord commanded Moses.

37 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 38 Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them lthat they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue: 39 And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the Lord, and do them; and that ye mseek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use nto go a whoring: 40 That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be oholy unto your God. 41 I am the Lord your God, pwhich brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord your God.

16 *Now aKorah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and bDathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men: 2 And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, bfamous in the congregation, men of renown: 3 And cthey gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, †Ye take too much upon you, seeing dall the congregation are holy, every one of them, eand the Lord is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the Lord? 4 And when Moses heard it, fhe fell upon his face: 5 And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow the Lord will shew who are his, and who is gholy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath hchosen will he cause to icome near unto him. 6 This do; Take you jcensers, Korah, and all his company; 7 And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the Lord to morrow: and it shall be that the man whom the Lord doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi. 8 And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi: 9 Seemeth it but ka small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath lseparated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them? 10 And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also? 11 For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the Lord: mand what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him? 12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up: 13 nIs it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land othat floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou pmake thyself altogether a prince over us? 14 Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land othat floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou †put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up. 15 And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the Lord, qRespect not thou their offering: rI have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them. 16 And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company sbefore the Lord, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow: 17 And ttake every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before the Lord every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each of you his censer. 18 And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron. 19 And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and uthe glory of the Lord appeared unto all the congregation. 20 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 21 xSeparate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them yin a moment. 22 And they zfell upon their faces, and said, O God, athe God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation? 23 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 24 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. 25 And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him. 26 And he spake unto the congregation, saying, bDepart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye cbe consumed in all their sins. 27 So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and dstood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children. 28 And Moses said, cHereby ye shall know that the Lord hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them eof mine own mind. 29 If these men die †the common death of all men, or if they be fvisited after the visitation of all men; then the Lord hath not sent me. 30 But if the Lord †make a new thing, and gthe earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they hgo down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men ihave provoked the Lord. 31 jAnd it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them: 32 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and kall the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods. 33 They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation. 34 And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also. 35 And there lcame out a fire from the Lord, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.

36 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 37 Speak unto mEleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are hallowed. 38 The censers of these nsinners against their own souls, let them make them pbroad plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the Lord, therefore they are hallowed: oand they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel. 39 And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers, wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and pthey were made broad plates for a covering of the altar: 40 To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, qthat no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the Lord; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the Lord said to him by the hand of Moses.

41 But 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. 42 And 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. 43 And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation. 44 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 45 tGet you up from among this congregation, that I umay consume them uas in a moment. And they fell upon their faces. 46 And 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. 47 And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was
