1,2 Si 45.18-20Jd 11Korahson of Izhar, from the Levite clan of Kohath, rebelled against the leadership of Moses. He was joined by three members of the tribe of Reuben—Dathanand Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and Onson of Peleth—and by 250 other Israelites, well-known leaders chosen by the community. 3 They assembled before Mosesand Aaronand said to them, "You have gone too far! All the members of the community belong to the Lord, and the Lordis with all of us. Why, then, Moses, do you set yourself above the Lord's community?"
4 When Mosesheard this, he threw himself on the ground and prayed. 5 Then he said to Korahand his followers, "Tomorrow morning the Lordwill show us who belongs to him; he will let the one who belongs to him, that is, the one he has chosen, approach him at the altar. 6,7 Tomorrow morning you and your followers take fire pans, put live coals and incense on them, and take them to the altar. Then we will see which of us the Lordhas chosen. You Levites are the ones who have gone too far!"
8 Mosescontinued to speak to Korah. "Listen, you Levites! 9 Do you consider it a small matter that the God of Israel has set you apart from the rest of the community, so that you can approach him, perform your service in the Lord's Tent, and minister to the community and serve them? 10 He has let you and all the other Levites have this honor—and now you are trying to get the priesthood too! 11 When you complain against Aaron, it is really against the Lordthat you and your followers are rebelling."
12 Then Mosessent for Dathanand Abiram, but they said, "We will not come! 13 Isn’t it enough that you have brought us out of the fertile land of Egyptto kill us here in the wilderness? Do you also have to lord it over us? 14 You certainly have not brought us into a fertile land or given us fields and vineyards as our possession, and now you are trying to deceive us. We will not come!"
15 Mosesbecame angry and said to the Lord, "Do not accept any offerings these men bring. I have not wronged any of them; I have not even taken one of their donkeys."
16 Mosessaid to Korah, "Tomorrow you and your 250 followers must come to the Tent of the Lord's presence; Aaronwill also be there. 17 Each of you will take his fire pan, put incense on it, and then present it at the altar." 18 So they each took their fire pans, put live coals and incense on them, and stood at the entrance of the Tent with Mosesand Aaron. 19 Then Korahgathered the whole community, and they stood facing Moses and Aaron at the entrance of the Tent. Suddenly the dazzling light of the Lord's presence appeared to the whole community, 20 and the Lordsaid to Mosesand Aaron, 21 "Move back from these people, and I will destroy them immediately."
22 But Moses and Aaron bowed down with their faces to the ground and said, "O God, you are the source of all life. When one of us sins, do you become angry with the whole community?"
23 The Lordsaid to Moses, 24 "Tell the people to move away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram."
25 Then Moses, accompanied by the leaders of Israel, went to Dathanand Abiram. 26 He said to the people, "Get away from the tents of these wicked men and don’t touch anything that belongs to them. Otherwise, you will be wiped out with them for all their sins." 27 So they moved away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
Dathanand Abiramhad come out and were standing at the entrance of their tents, with their wives and children. 28 Mosessaid to the people, "This is how you will know that the Lordhas sent me to do all these things and that it is not by my own choice that I have done them. 29 If these men die a natural death without some punishment from God, then the Lorddid not send me. 30 But if the Lorddoes something unheard of, and the earth opens up and swallows them with all they own, so that they go down alive to the world of the dead, you will know that these men have rejected the Lord."
31 As soon as he had finished speaking, the ground under Dathan and Abiram split open 32 and swallowed them and their families, together with all of Korah’s followers and their possessions. 33 So they went down alive to the world of the dead, with their possessions. The earth closed over them, and they vanished. 34 All the people of Israel who were there fled when they heard their cry. They shouted, "Run! The earth might swallow us too!"
35 Then the Lordsent a fire that blazed out and burned up the 250 men who had presented the incense.
The Fire Pans
36 Then the Lordsaid to Moses, 37 "Tell Eleazarson of Aaronthe priest to remove the bronze fire pans from the remains of those who have been burned, and scatter the coals from the fire pans somewhere else, because the fire pans are holy. 38 They became holy when they were presented at the Lord's altar. So take the fire pans of these who were put to death for their sin, beat them into thin plates, and make a covering for the altar. It will be a warning to the people of Israel." 39 So Eleazarthe priest took the fire pans and had them beaten into thin plates to make a covering for the altar. 40 This was a warning to the Israelites that no one who was not a descendant of Aaronshould come to the altar to burn incense for the Lord. Otherwise he would be destroyed like Korahand his men. All this was done as the Lordhad commanded Eleazar through Moses.
Aaron Saves the People
41 The next day the whole community complained against Mosesand Aaronand said, "You have killed some of the Lord's people." 42 After they had all gathered to protest to Mosesand Aaron, they turned toward the Tent and saw that the cloud was covering it and that the dazzling light of the Lord's presence had appeared. 43 Mosesand Aaronwent and stood in front of the Tent, 44 Ws 18.20-25and the Lordsaid to Moses, 45 "Move back from these people, and I will destroy them on the spot!"
The two of them bowed down with their faces to the ground, 46 and Mosessaid to Aaron, "Take your fire pan, put live coals from the altar in it, and put some incense on the coals. Then hurry with it to the people and perform the ritual of purification for them. Hurry! The Lord's anger has already broken out and an epidemic has already begun." 47 Aaronobeyed, took his fire pan and ran into the middle of the assembled people. When he saw that the plague had already begun, he put the incense on the coals and performed the ritual of purification for the people. 48 This stopped the plague, and he was left standing between the living and the dead. 49 The number of people who died was 14,700, not counting those who died in Korah’s rebellion. 50 When the plague had stopped, Aaronreturned to Mosesat the entrance of the Tent.
