Now KorahH7141, the sonH1121 of IzharH3324, the sonH1121 of KohathH6955, the sonH1121 of LeviH3878, and DathanH1885 and AbiramH48, the sonsH1121 of EliabH446, and OnH203, the sonH1121 of PelethH6431, sonsH1121 of ReubenH7205, tookH3947 men:
And they rose upH6965 beforeH6440 MosesH4872, with certainH582 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, two hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 princesH5387 of the assemblyH5712, famousH7148 in the congregationH4150, menH582 of renownH8034:
And they gathered themselves togetherH6950 against MosesH4872 and against AaronH175, and saidH559 unto them, Ye take too muchH7227 upon you, seeing all the congregationH5712 are holyH6918, every one of them, and the LORDH3068 is amongH8432 them: wherefore then lift ye upH5375 yourselves above the congregationH6951 of the LORDH3068? {Ye take…: Heb. It is much for you}
And when MosesH4872 heardH8085 it, he fellH5307 upon his faceH6440:
And he spakeH1696 unto KorahH7141 and unto all his companyH5712, sayingH559, Even to morrowH1242 the LORDH3068 will shewH3045 who are his, and who is holyH6918; and will cause him to come nearH7126 unto him: even him whom he hath chosenH977 will he cause to come nearH7126 unto him.
This doH6213; TakeH3947 you censersH4289, KorahH7141, and all his companyH5712;
And putH5414 fireH784 thereinH2004, and putH7760 incenseH7004 in them beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 to morrowH4279: and it shall be that the manH376 whom the LORDH3068 doth chooseH977, he shall be holyH6918: ye take too muchH7227 upon you, ye sonsH1121 of LeviH3878.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto KorahH7141, HearH8085, I pray you, ye sonsH1121 of LeviH3878:
Seemeth it but a small thingH4592 unto you, that the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 hath separatedH914 you from the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478, to bring you nearH7126 to himself to doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH4908 of the LORDH3068, and to standH5975 beforeH6440 the congregationH5712 to ministerH8334 unto them?
And he hath brought thee nearH7126 to him, and all thy brethrenH251 the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878 with thee: and seekH1245 ye the priesthoodH3550 also?
For which causeH3651 both thou and all thy companyH5712 are gathered togetherH3259 against the LORDH3068: and what is AaronH175, that ye murmurH3885+H3885 against him?
And MosesH4872 sentH7971 to callH7121 DathanH1885 and AbiramH48, the sonsH1121 of EliabH446: which saidH559, We will not come upH5927:
Is it a small thingH4592 thatH3588 thou hast brought us upH5927 out of a landH776 that flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, to killH4191 us in the wildernessH4057, except thou makeH8323 thyself altogetherH8323 a princeH8323 over us?
MoreoverH637 thou hast not broughtH935 us into a landH776 that flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, or givenH5414 us inheritanceH5159 of fieldsH7704 and vineyardsH3754: wilt thou put outH5365 the eyesH5869 of these menH582? we will not come upH5927. {put…: Heb. bore out}
And MosesH4872 was veryH3966 wrothH2734, and saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, RespectH6437 not thou their offeringH4503: I have not takenH5375 oneH259 assH2543 from them, neither have I hurtH7489 oneH259 of them.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto KorahH7141, Be thou and all thy companyH5712 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, thou, and they, and AaronH175, to morrowH4279:
And takeH3947 every manH376 his censerH4289, and putH5414 incenseH7004 in them, and bringH7126 ye beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 every manH376 his censerH4289, two hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 censersH4289; thou also, and AaronH175, eachH376 of you his censerH4289.
And they tookH3947 every manH376 his censerH4289, and putH5414 fireH784 in them, and laidH7760 incenseH7004 thereon, and stoodH5975 in the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150 with MosesH4872 and AaronH175.
And KorahH7141 gatheredH6950 all the congregationH5712 against them unto the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150: and the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 unto all the congregationH5712.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872 and unto AaronH175, sayingH559,
SeparateH914 yourselves from amongH8432 this congregationH5712, that I may consumeH3615 them in a momentH7281.
And they fellH5307 upon their facesH6440, and saidH559, O GodH410, the GodH430 of the spiritsH7307 of all fleshH1320, shall oneH259 manH376 sinH2398, and wilt thou be wrothH7107 with all the congregationH5712?
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
SpeakH1696 unto the congregationH5712, sayingH559, Get you upH5927 from aboutH5439 the tabernacleH4908 of KorahH7141, DathanH1885, and AbiramH48.
And MosesH4872 rose upH6965 and wentH3212 unto DathanH1885 and AbiramH48; and the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 followedH3212 himH310.
And he spakeH1696 unto the congregationH5712, sayingH559, DepartH5493, I pray you, from the tentsH168 of these wickedH7563 menH582, and touchH5060 nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumedH5595 in all their sinsH2403.
So they gat upH5927 from the tabernacleH4908 of KorahH7141, DathanH1885, and AbiramH48, on every sideH5439: and DathanH1885 and AbiramH48 came outH3318, and stoodH5324 in the doorH6607 of their tentsH168, and their wivesH802, and their sonsH1121, and their little childrenH2945.
And MosesH4872 saidH559, Hereby ye shall knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 me to doH6213 all these worksH4639; for I have not done them of mine own mindH3820.
If these men dieH4191 the common deathH4194 of all menH120, or if they be visitedH6485 after the visitationH6486 of all menH120; then the LORDH3068 hath not sentH7971 me. {the common…: Heb. as every man dieth}
But if the LORDH3068 makeH1254 a new thingH1278, and the earthH127 openH6475 her mouthH6310, and swallow them upH1104, with all that appertain unto them, and they go downH3381 quickH2416 into the pitH7585; then ye shall understandH3045 that these menH582 have provokedH5006 the LORDH3068. {make…: Heb. create a creature}
And it came to pass, as he had made an endH3615 of speakingH1696 all these wordsH1697, that the groundH127 clave asunderH1234 that was under them:
And the earthH776 openedH6605 her mouthH6310, and swallowed them upH1104, and their housesH1004, and all the menH120 that appertained unto KorahH7141, and all their goodsH7399.
They, and all that appertained to them, went downH3381 aliveH2416 into the pitH7585, and the earthH776 closedH3680 upon them: and they perishedH6 from amongH8432 the congregationH6951.
And all IsraelH3478 that were round aboutH5439 them fledH5127 at the cryH6963 of them: for they saidH559, Lest the earthH776 swallow us upH1104 also.
And there came outH3318 a fireH784 from the LORDH3068, and consumedH398 the two hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 menH376 that offeredH7126 incenseH7004.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
SpeakH559 unto EleazarH499 the sonH1121 of AaronH175 the priestH3548, that he take upH7311 the censersH4289 outH996 of the burningH8316, and scatterH2219 thou the fireH784 yonderH1973; for they are hallowedH6942.
The censersH4289 of these sinnersH2400 against their own soulsH5315, let them makeH6213 them broadH7555 platesH6341 for a coveringH6826 of the altarH4196: for they offeredH7126 them beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, therefore they are hallowedH6942: and they shall be a signH226 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And EleazarH499 the priestH3548 tookH3947 the brasenH5178 censersH4289, wherewith they that were burntH8313 had offeredH7126; and they were made broadH7554 plates for a coveringH6826 of the altarH4196:
To be a memorialH2146 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, thatH834+H4616 no strangerH376+H2114, which is not of the seedH2233 of AaronH175, come nearH7126 to offerH6999 incenseH7004 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068; that he be not as KorahH7141, and as his companyH5712: as the LORDH3068 saidH1696 to him by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
But on the morrowH4283 all the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 murmuredH3885 against MosesH4872 and against AaronH175, sayingH559, Ye have killedH4191 the peopleH5971 of the LORDH3068.
And it came to pass, when the congregationH5712 was gatheredH6950 against MosesH4872 and against AaronH175, that they lookedH6437 toward the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150: and, behold, the cloudH6051 coveredH3680 it, and the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 appearedH7200.
And MosesH4872 and AaronH175 cameH935 beforeH6440 the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
Get you upH7426 from amongH8432 this congregationH5712, that I may consumeH3615 them as in a momentH7281. And they fellH5307 upon their facesH6440.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto AaronH175, TakeH3947 a censerH4289, and putH5414 fireH784 therein from offH6440 the altarH4196, and putH7760 on incenseH7004, and goH3212 quicklyH4120 unto the congregationH5712, and make an atonementH3722 for them: for there is wrathH7110 gone outH3318 from the LORDH3068; the plagueH5063 is begunH2490.
And AaronH175 tookH3947 as MosesH4872 commandedH1696, and ranH7323 into the midstH8432 of the congregationH6951; and, behold, the plagueH5063 was begunH2490 among the peopleH5971: and he putH5414 on incenseH7004, and made an atonementH3722 for the peopleH5971.
And he stoodH5975 between the deadH4191 and the livingH2416; and the plagueH4046 was stayedH6113.
Now they that diedH4191 in the plagueH4046 were fourteenH702+H6240 thousandH505 and sevenH7651 hundredH3967, beside them that diedH4191 about the matterH1697 of KorahH7141.
And AaronH175 returnedH7725 unto MosesH4872 unto the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150: and the plagueH4046 was stayedH6113.

Is it a small thingH4592 thatH3588 thou hast brought us upH5927 out of a landH776 that flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, to killH4191 us in the wildernessH4057, except thou makeH8323 thyself altogetherH8323 a princeH8323 over us?
But the LevitesH3881 shall pitchH2583 round aboutH5439 the tabernacleH4908 of testimonyH5715, that there be no wrathH7110 upon the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: and the LevitesH3881 shall keepH8104 the chargeH4931 of the tabernacleH4908 of testimonyH5715.
And she saidH559 unto her, Is it a small matterH4592 that thou hast takenH3947 my husbandH376? and wouldest thou take awayH3947 my son'sH1121 mandrakesH1736 also? And RachelH7354 saidH559, Therefore he shall lieH7901 with thee to nightH3915 forH8478 thy son'sH1121 mandrakesH1736.
And thou shalt takeH3947 the LevitesH3881 for me (I am the LORDH3068) instead of all the firstbornH1060 among the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; and the cattleH929 of the LevitesH3881 instead of all the firstlingsH1060 among the cattleH929 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And MosesH4872 numberedH6485, as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 him, all the firstbornH1060 among the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And all the firstbornH1060 malesH2145 by the numberH4557 of namesH8034, from a monthH2320 oldH1121 and upwardH4605, of those that were numberedH6485 of them, were twentyH6242 and twoH8147 thousandH505 two hundredH3967 and threescore and thirteenH7657+H7969.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
TakeH3947 the LevitesH3881 instead of all the firstbornH1060 among the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and the cattleH929 of the LevitesH3881 instead of their cattleH929; and the LevitesH3881 shall be mine: I am the LORDH3068.
And Saul'sH7586 servantsH5650 spakeH1696 those wordsH1697 in the earsH241 of DavidH1732. And DavidH1732 saidH559, SeemethH5869 it to you a lightH7043 thing to be a king'sH4428 son in lawH2859, seeing that I am a poorH7326 manH376, and lightly esteemedH7034?
Thus shalt thou separateH914 the LevitesH3881 from amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: and the LevitesH3881 shall be mine.
And afterH310 that shall the LevitesH3881 go inH935 to do the serviceH5647 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150: and thou shalt cleanseH2891 them, and offerH5130 them for an offeringH8573.
For they are wholly givenH5414 unto me from amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; instead of such as openH6363 every wombH7358, even instead of the firstbornH1060 of all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, have I takenH3947 them unto me.
And this was yet a small thingH6994 in thy sightH5869, O LordH136 GODH3069; but thou hast spokenH1696 also of thy servant'sH5650 houseH1004 for a great while to comeH7350. And is this the mannerH8452 of manH120, O LordH136 GODH3069? {manner: Heb. law}
And thy brethrenH251 also of the tribeH4294 of LeviH3878, the tribeH7626 of thy fatherH1, bringH7126 thou with thee, that they may be joinedH3867 unto thee, and ministerH8334 unto thee: but thou and thy sonsH1121 with thee shall minister beforeH6440 the tabernacleH168 of witnessH5715.
And they shall keepH8104 thy chargeH4931, and the chargeH4931 of all the tabernacleH168: only they shall not come nighH7126 the vesselsH3627 of the sanctuaryH6944 and the altarH4196, that neither they, nor ye also, dieH4191.
And they shall be joinedH3867 unto thee, and keepH8104 the chargeH4931 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, for all the serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH168: and a strangerH2114 shall not come nighH7126 unto you.
And ye shall keepH8104 the chargeH4931 of the sanctuaryH6944, and the chargeH4931 of the altarH4196: that there be no wrathH7110 any more upon the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And I, behold, I have takenH3947 your brethrenH251 the LevitesH3881 from amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: to you they are givenH5414 as a giftH4979 for the LORDH3068, to doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150.
And he saidH559, HearH8085 ye now, O houseH1004 of DavidH1732; Is it a small thingH4592 for you to wearyH3811 menH582, but will ye wearyH3811 my GodH430 also?
At that timeH6256 the LORDH3068 separatedH914 the tribeH7626 of LeviH3878, to bearH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, to standH5975 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 to ministerH8334 unto him, and to blessH1288 in his nameH8034, unto this dayH3117.
Seemeth it a small thingH4592 unto you to have eaten upH7462 the goodH2896 pastureH4829, but ye must tread downH7429 with your feetH7272 the residueH3499 of your pasturesH4829? and to have drunkH8354 of the deepH4950 watersH4325, but ye must foulH7515 the residueH3498 with your feetH7272?
And saidH559 unto the LevitesH3881 that taughtH995+H4000 all IsraelH3478, which were holyH6918 unto the LORDH3068, PutH5414 the holyH6944 arkH727 in the houseH1004 which SolomonH8010 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 did buildH1129; it shall not be a burdenH4853 upon your shouldersH3802: serveH5647 now the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478,
ButG1161 with meG1698 it isG2076 a very small thingG1519+G1646 thatG2443 I should be judgedG350 ofG5259 youG5216, orG2228 ofG5259 man'sG442 judgmentG2250: yeaG235, I judgeG350 notG3761 mine own selfG1683. {judgment: Gr. day}
And at that timeH3117 were someH582 appointedH6485 over the chambersH5393 for the treasuresH214, for the offeringsH8641, for the firstfruitsH7225, and for the tithesH4643, to gatherH3664 into them out of the fieldsH7704 of the citiesH5892 the portionsH4521 of the lawH8451 for the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881: for JudahH3063 rejoicedH8057 for the priestsH3548 and for the LevitesH3881 that waitedH5975. {of the law: that is, appointed by the law} {for Judah…: Heb. for the joy of Judah} {waited: Heb. stood}
And the LevitesH3881 that are gone away farH7368 from me, when IsraelH3478 went astrayH8582, which went astray awayH8582 from me afterH310 their idolsH1544; they shall even bearH5375 their iniquityH5771.
Yet they shall be ministersH8334 in my sanctuaryH4720, having chargeH6486 at the gatesH8179 of the houseH1004, and ministeringH8334 to the houseH1004: they shall slayH7819 the burnt offeringH5930 and the sacrificeH2077 for the peopleH5971, and they shall standH5975 beforeH6440 them to ministerH8334 unto them.
