1,2 Si 45.18-20.Jd 11.Korahson of Izharwas a Levite from the Kohathite clan. One day he called together Dathan, Abiram, and On16.1,2 Dathan, Abiram, and On: Hebrew "Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth."from the Reubentribe, and the four of them decided to rebel against Moses. So they asked 250 respected Israelite leaders for their support, and together they went to Moses3 and Aaronand said, "Why do you think you’re so much better than everyone else? We’re part of the Lord's holy people, and he’s with all of us. What makes you think you’re the only ones in charge?"
4 When Mosesheard this, he knelt down to pray.16.4 he knelt down to pray: Or "he fell to his knees in sorrow."5 Then he said to Korahand his followers:
Tomorrow morning the Lordwill show us the person he has chosen to be his priest, and that man will faithfully serve him.
6,7 Korah, here is what you and your followers must do: Get some fire pans, fill them with coals and incense, and place them near the sacred tent. And the man the Lordchooses will be his priest.16.6,7 Get some fire pans … his priest: Only priests could offer incense at the sacred altar; anyone else who tried would be killed. In this case, the man who lived would be the one the Lord had chosen.Korah, this time you Levites have gone too far!
8,9 You know that the God of Israel has chosen you Levites from all Israel to serve him by being in charge of the sacred tent and by helping the community to worship in the proper way. What more do you want? 10 The Lordhas given you a special responsibility, and now, Korah, you think you should also be his priest. 11 You and your followers have rebelled against the Lord, not against Aaron.
12 Then Mosessent for Dathanand Abiram, but they sent back this message: "We won’t come! 13 It’s bad enough that you took us from our rich farmland in Egyptto let us die here in the desert. Now you also want to boss us around! 14 You keep promising us rich farmlands with fertile fields and vineyards—but where are they? Stop trying to trick these people. No, we won’t come to see you."
15 Moseswas very angry and said to the Lord, "Don’t listen to these men! I haven’t done anything wrong to them. I haven’t taken as much as a donkey."
16 Then he said to Korah, "Tomorrow you and your followers must go with Aaronto the Lord's sacred tent. 17 Each of you take along your fire pan with incense in it and offer the incense to the Lord."
18 The next day the men placed incense and coals in their fire pans and stood with Mosesand Aaronat the entrance to the sacred tent. 19 Meanwhile, Korahhad convinced the rest of the Israelites to rebel against their two leaders.
When that happened, the Lordappeared in all his glory 20 and said to Mosesand Aaron, 21 "Get away from the rest of the Israelites so I can kill them at once!"
22 But the two men bowed down and prayed, "Our God, you gave these people life. Why would you punish everyone here when only one man has sinned?"
23 The Lordanswered Moses, 24 "Tell the people to stay away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram."
25 Moseswalked over to Dathanand Abiram, and the other leaders of Israel followed. 26 Then Moses warned the people, "Get away from the tents of these sinful men! Don’t touch anything that belongs to them or you’ll be wiped out." 27 So everyone moved away from those tents, except Korah, Dathan, Abiram, and their families.
28 Mosessaid to the crowd, "The Lordhas chosen me and told me to do these things—it wasn’t my idea. And here’s how you will know: 29 If these men die a natural death, it means the Lordhasn’t chosen me. 30 But suppose the Lorddoes something that has never been done before. For example, what if a huge crack appears in the ground, and these men and their families fall into it and are buried alive, together with everything they own? Then you will know they have turned their backs on the Lord!"
31 As soon as Moses said this, the ground under the men opened up 32,33 and swallowed them alive, together with their families and everything they owned. Then the ground closed back up, and they were gone.
34 The rest of the Israelites heard their screams, so they ran off, shouting, "We don’t want that to happen to us!"
35 Suddenly the Lordsent a fire that burned up the 250 men who had offered incense to him.
36 Then the Lordsaid to Moses, 37 "Tell Aaron’s son Eleazarto take the fire pans from the smoldering fire and scatter the coals. The pans are now sacred, 38 because they were used for offering incense to me. Have them hammered into a thin layer of bronze as a covering for the altar. Those men died because of their sin, and now their fire pans will become a warning for the rest of the community."
39 Eleazarcollected the pans and had them hammered into a thin layer of bronze as a covering for the altar, 40 just as the Lordhad told Moses. The pans were a warning to the Israelites that only Aaron’s descendants would be allowed to offer incense to the Lord. Anyone else who tried to would be punished like Korahand his followers.
The Israelites Rebel and Are Punished
41 The next day the people of Israelagain complained against Mosesand Aaron, "The two of you killed some of the Lord's people!"
42 As the people crowded around them, Mosesand Aaronturned toward the sacred tent, and the Lordappeared in his glory in the cloud covering the tent. 43 So Mosesand Aaronwalked to the front of the tent, 44 Ws 18.20-25.where the Lordsaid to them, 45 "Stand back! I am going to wipe out these Israelites once and for all."
They immediately bowed down and prayed. 46 Then Mosestold Aaron, "Grab your fire pan and fill it with hot coals from the altar. Put incense in it, then quickly take it to where the people are and offer it to the Lord, so they can be forgiven. The Lordis very angry, and people have already started dying!"
47,48 Aarondid exactly what he had been told. He ran over to the crowd of people and stood between the dead bodies and the people who were still alive. He placed the incense on the pan, then offered it to the Lordand asked him to forgive the people’s sin. The disease immediately stopped spreading, and no one else died from it. 49 But 14,700 Israelites were dead, not counting those who had died with Korahand his followers.
50 Aaronwalked back and stood with Mosesat the sacred tent.
