Numbers 16:16-17:13 And Moses will say to Korah, Be thou and all thine assembly before Jehovah, thou and they, and Aaron, to-morrow:

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ And Moses will say to Korah, Be thou and all thine assembly before Jehovah, thou and they, and Aaron, to-morrow: ¹⁷ And take each his censer and put incense upon them, and bring them near before Jehovah, each his censer and put incense upon them, and bring them near before Jehovah, each his censer, fifty and two hundred censers; and thou and Aaron, each his censer. ¹⁸ And they will take each his censer and will give upon them fire, and will put incense upon them, and they will stand at the door of the tent of appointment, and Moses and Aaron. ¹⁹ And Korah will gather against them all the assembly at the door of the tent of appointment; and the glory of Jehovah will be seen to all the assembly. ²⁰ And Jehovah will speak to Moses, and to Aaron, saying, ²¹ Separate yourselves from the midst of this assembly, and I will consume them as in a moment, ²² And they shall fall upon their faces, and they will say, God, the God of the spirits for all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be angry against all the assembly. ²³ And Jehovah will speak to Moses, saying, ²⁴ Speak to all the assembly, saying, Go up from round about the dwelling of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. ²⁵ And Moses will rise up and go to Dathan and Abiram; and the old men of Israel will go after him. ²⁶ And he will speak to the assembly, saying, Remove, now, from the tents of these guilty men, and ye shall not touch upon any thing which is to them lest ye shall he destroyed in all their sin. ²⁷ And they will go up from the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, from round about; and Dathan and Abiram will come forth, standing at the door of their tents, and their wives and their sons and their little ones. ²⁸ And Moses will say, By this shall ye know that Jehovah sent me to do all these works; for not from my heart ²⁹ If according to the death of all men these shall die, if the providence of all men shall be reviewed upon them, Jehovah sent me not ³⁰ And if Jehovah shall create a creation, and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them and all which is to them, and they went down living to hades; and ye know that these men rejected Jehovah, ³¹ And it shall be as he finished to speak all these words, the earth shall cleave asunder which is under them: ³² And the earth shall open her mouth and shall swallow them and their houses, and all the men which to Korah, and all the possessions. ³³ And they went down, and all which is to them, living, to hades, and the earth shall cover over them; and they shall perish from the midst of the gathering. ³⁴ And all Israel which were round about them fled at their voice: for they said, Lest the earth shall swallow us. ³⁵ And a fire will come forth from Jehovah and will consume the fifty and two hundred men bringing the incense ³⁶ And Jehovah will speak to Moses, saying, ³⁷ Say to Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, and he shall take up the censers from the midst of the burning, and scatter the fire afar off; for they were consecrated. ³⁸ The censers of these sinners against their souls, and they made them beaten plates, a covering for the altar: for they brought them before Jehovah, and they will be consecrated: and they will be for a sign to the sons of Israel. ³⁹ And Eleazar the priest will take the brazen censers, which they being burnt brought near; and they shall beat them out a covering for the altar, ⁴⁰ A remembrance to the sons of Israel, so that a man, a stranger, shall not come near, he who is not from the seed of Aaron, to burn incense before Jehovah; and he shall not be as Korah and as his assembly: as Jehovah spake to him by the hand of Moses. ⁴¹ And all the assembly of the sons of Israel will murmur on the morrow against Moses, and against Aaron, saying, Ye killed the people of Jehovah. ⁴² And it shall be in the gathering together of the assembly against Moses and against Aaron, and they shall turn towards the tent of appointment; and behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of Jehovah will be seen. ⁴³ And Moses will go, and Aaron, before the tent of appointment ⁴⁴ And Jehovah will speak to Moses, saying, ⁴⁵ Lift up yourselves from the midst of this assembly, and I will consume them as in a moment. And they will fall upon their faces. ⁴⁶ And Moses will say to Aaron, Take a censer and give upon it fire from off the altar, and put incense, and go quickly to the assembly, and expiate for them: for anger went forth from before Jehovah; for it began smiting. ⁴⁷ And Aaron will take as Moses spake, and he will run into the midst of the assembly; and behold, it began smiting among the people: and he will give incense and will expiate for the people. ⁴⁸ And he will stand between the dead and between the living; and the smiting will be withheld. ⁴⁹ And they dying in the smiting will be fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides they dying for the words of Korah. ⁵⁰ And Aaron will turn back to Moses to the door of the tent of appointment: and the smiting was withheld. ¹⁷ ¹ And Jehovah will speak to Moses, saying, ² Speak to the sons of Israel, and take from them a rod, a rod according to the house of the father, from all the chiefs according to the house of their fathers, twelve rods: thou shalt write each his name upon his rod. ³ And Aaron's name shalt thou write upon the rod of Levi: for one rod is for the head of the house of their fathers. ⁴ And place them in the tent of appointment before the testimony, where I will pass over to you there. ⁵ And it was the man whom I shall desire him, his rod shall be fruitful: and I caused to cease from me the murmurings of the sons of Israel which they are murmuring against you. ⁶ And Moses will speak to the sons of Israel, and all their chiefs will give to him a rod for one chief, a rod for one chief, according to the house of their fathers, twelve rods: and Aaron's rod in the midst of their rods. ⁷ And Moses will place the rods before Jehovah in the tent of testimony. ⁸ And it shall be on the morrow, and Moses will go into the tent of testimony; and behold, Aaron's rod was fruitful for the house of Levi, and the blossom will come forth and the flower will flourish and will show almonds. ⁹ And Moses will bring forth all the rods from before Jehovah to all the sons of Israel: and they shall see and shall take each his rod. ¹⁰ And Jehovah will say to Moses, Turn back Aaron's rod before the testimony, for preservation, for a sign for the sons of contradiction; and thou shalt finish their murmurings from me, and they shall not die. ¹¹ And Moses will do: as Jehovah commanded him, so did he. ¹² And the sons of Israel will speak to Moses, saying, Behold, we expired, we perished, we all perished. ¹³ All coming near, coming near the dwelling of Jehovah, and dying, shall die: shall we die to breathe out life?
