Numbers 16:19-41

LITV(i) 19 And Korah assembled all the congregation against them, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the glory of Jehovah was seen by all the congregation. 20 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 21 separate yourselves from the midst of this company, and I will consume them in a moment. 22 And they fell on their faces, and said, O God, God of the spirits of all flesh; shall one man sin, and will You be angry with all the congregation? 23 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 24 Speak to the congregation, saying, You get away from around the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. 25 And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel went after him. 26 And he spoke to the congregation, saying, Please turn away from the tents of these wicked men, and do not touch anything that they have, lest you be consumed in all their sins. 27 And they got away from around the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram; and Dathan and Abiram came out, standing at the door of their tents, and their wives, their sons, and their infants. 28 And Moses said, By this you shall know that Jehovah has sent me to do all these works, and that not from my own heart. 29 If these die according to the death of all men, and are visited according to the visitation of all men, then Jehovah has not sent me. 30 And if Jehovah makes a new thing, and the ground opens her mouth and swallows them, and all that they have, and they go down alive to Sheol, then you shall know that these men have despised Jehovah. 31 And it happened, as he made an end of speaking all these words, the ground which was under them split apart, 32 and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them, and their houses, and all the men who were for Korah, and all their possessions. 33 And they went down, they and all that they had, alive to Sheol, and the earth covered over them; and they perished from the midst of the assembly. 34 And all Israel who were around them fled at their cry; for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up. 35 And fire came forth from Jehovah and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense. 36 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 37 Speak to Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, and he shall lift up the fire-pans from the midst of the burning, and shall scatter the fire yonder, for they have become holy, 38 the fire-pans of these sinners against their own souls. And they shall make of them spreadout plates, a covering for the altar, for they have brought them near before Jehovah, and they are holy. And they shall become a sign to the sons of Israel. 39 And Eleazar the priest took the bronze fire-pans, which they who were burned had brought near, and they spread them out, a covering for the altar, 40 a memorial to the sons of Israel, so that an alien who is not of the seed of Aaron shall not draw near to offer incense before Jehovah, and shall not be as Korah, and as his company; as Jehovah had spoken by the hand of Moses to him. 41 And all the congregation of the sons of Israel murmured on the next day against Moses and against Aaron, saying, You have killed the people of Jehovah.
