*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.
