LXX2012⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ They rose up against Moses and Aaron, and said, Let it be enough for you that all the congregation [are] holy, and the Lord [is] among them; and why do you⌃ set up yourselves against the congregation of the Lord? ⁴ And when Moses heard it, he fell on his face. ⁵ And he spoke to Core and all his assembly, saying, God has visited and known those that are his and who are holy, and has brought them to himself; and whom he has chosen for himself, he has brought to himself. ⁶ This do you⌃: take to yourselves censers, Core and all his company; ⁷ and put fire on them, and put incense on them before the Lord to-morrow; and it shall come to pass that the man whom the Lord has chosen, he shall be holy: let it be enough for you, you⌃ sons of Levi. ⁸ And Moses said to Core, Listen to me, you⌃ sons of Levi. ⁹ Is it a little thing for you, that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, and brought you near to himself to minister in the services of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the tabernacle to minister for them? ¹⁰ And he has brought you near and all your brethren the sons of Levi with you, and do you⌃ seek to be priests also? ¹¹ Thus [it is with] you and all your congregation which is gathered together against God: and who is Aaron, that you⌃ murmur against him? ¹² And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiron sons of Eliab; and they said, We will not go up. ¹³ Is it a little thing that you have brought us up to a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, [and] that you altogether rule over us? ¹⁴ You are a prince, and have you brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, and have you given us an inheritance of land and vineyards? would you have put out the eyes of those men? we will not go up. ¹⁵ And Moses was exceeding indignant, and said to the Lord, Do you take no heed to their sacrifice: I have not taken away the desire of any one of them, neither have I hurt any one of them. ¹⁶ And Moses said to Core, Sanctify your company, and be ready before the Lord, you and Aaron and they, to-morrow. ¹⁷ And take each man his censer, and you⌃ shall put incense upon them, and shall bring each one his censer before the Lord, two hundred and fifty censers, and you and Aaron shall bring each his censer. ¹⁸ And each man took his censer, and they put on them fire, and laid incense on them; and Moses and Aaron stood by the doors of the tabernacle of witness. ¹⁹ And Core raised up against them all his company by the door of the tabernacle of witness; and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the congregation. ²⁰ And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, ²¹ Separate your selves from the midst of this congregation, and I will consume them at once. ²² And they fell on their faces, and said, O God, the God of spirits and of all flesh, if one man has sinned, [shall] the wrath of the Lord [be] upon the whole congregation? ²³ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ²⁴ Speak to the congregation, saying, Depart from the company of Core round about. ²⁵ And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiron, and all the elders of Israel went with him. ²⁶ And he spoke to the congregation, saying, Separate yourselves from the tents of these stubborn men, and touch nothing that belongs to them, lest you⌃ be consumed with them in all their sin. ²⁷ And they stood aloof from the tent of Core round about; and Dathan and Abiron went forth and stood by the doors of their tents, and their wives and their children and their store. ²⁸ And Moses said, Hereby shall you⌃ know that the Lord has sent me to perform all these works, that [I have] not [done them] of myself. ²⁹ If these men shall die according to the death of all men, if also their visitation shall be according to the visitation of all men, then the Lord has not sent me. ³⁰ But if the Lord shall show by a wonder, and the earth shall open her mouth and swallow them up, and their houses, and their tents, and all that belongs to them, and they shall go down alive into Hades, then you⌃ shall know that these men have provoked the Lord. ³¹ And when he ceased speaking all these words, the ground clave asunder beneath them. ³² And the ground opened, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that were with Core, and their cattle. ³³ And they went down and all that they had, alive into Hades; and the ground covered them, and they perished from the midst of the congregation. ³⁴ And all Israel round about them fled from the sound of them, for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up [also]. ³⁵ And fire went forth from the Lord, and devoured the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
