1 A nd Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, made bold, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, the sons of Reuben;

And Korah, son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi, taketh both Dathan and Abiram sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth, sons of Reuben,

2 a nd they rose up against Moses, with two hundred and fifty men of the children of Israel, princes of the assembly, summoned to the council, men of renown;

and they rise up before Moses, with men of the sons of Israel, two hundred and fifty, princes of the company, called of the convention, men of name,

3 a nd they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, It is enough; for all the assembly, all of them are holy, and Jehovah is among them; and why do ye lift up yourselves above the congregation of Jehovah?

and they are assembled against Moses and against Aaron, and say unto them, `Enough of you! for all the company -- all of them holy, and in their midst Jehovah; and wherefore do ye lift yourselves up above the assembly of Jehovah?'

4 W hen Moses heard this, he fell on his face.

And Moses heareth, and falleth on his face,

5 A nd he spoke to Korah and to all his band, saying, Even to-morrow will Jehovah make known who is his, and who is holy; and he will cause him to come near to him; and him whom he has chosen, him will he cause to come near to him.

and he speaketh unto Korah, and unto all his company, saying, `Morning! -- and Jehovah is knowing those who are his, and him who is holy, and hath brought near unto Him; even him whom He doth fix on He bringeth near unto Him.

6 T his do: take you censers, Korah, and all his band,

This do: take to yourselves censers, Korah, and all his company,

7 a nd put fire therein, and lay incense thereon before Jehovah to-morrow; and it shall be that the man whom Jehovah doth choose, he shall be holy. It is enough, ye sons of Levi!

and put in them fire, and put on them perfume, before Jehovah to-morrow, and it hath been, the man whom Jehovah chooseth, he the holy one; -- enough of you, sons of Levi.'

8 A nd Moses said to Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi!

And Moses saith unto Korah, `Hear ye, I pray you, sons of Levi;

9 I s it too little for you, that the God of Israel has separated you from the assembly of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the work of the tabernacle of Jehovah, and to stand before the assembly to minister to them?

is it little to you that the God of Israel hath separated you from the company of Israel to bring you near unto Himself, to do the service of the tabernacle of Jehovah, and to stand before the company to serve them? --

10 — that he has brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee; and seek ye now the priesthood also?

yea, He doth bring thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee -- and ye have sought also the priesthood!

11 F or which cause thou and all thy band are banded together against Jehovah; and Aaron, who is he that ye murmur against him?

Therefore, thou and all thy company who are met against Jehovah; and Aaron, what he, that ye murmur against him?'

12 A nd Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; but they said, We will not come up!

And Moses sendeth to call for Dathan and for Abiram sons of Eliab, and they say, `We do not come up;

13 I s it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, that thou must make thyself altogether a ruler over us?

is it little that thou hast brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey to put us to death in a wilderness that thou also certainly makest thyself prince over us?

14 M oreover, thou hast not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up!

Yea, unto a land flowing with milk and honey thou hast not brought us in, nor dost thou give to us an inheritance of field and vineyard; the eyes of these men dost thou pick out? we do not come up.'

15 T hen Moses was very wroth, and said to Jehovah, Have no regard to their oblation: not one ass have I taken from them, neither have I hurt one of them.

And it is very displeasing to Moses, and he saith unto Jehovah, `Turn not Thou unto their present; not one ass from them have I taken, nor have I afflicted one of them.'

16 A nd Moses said to Korah, Be thou and all thy band before Jehovah, thou, and they, and Aaron, to-morrow.

And Moses saith unto Korah, `Thou and all thy company, be ye before Jehovah, thou, and they, and Aaron, to-morrow;

17 A nd take each his censer, and put incense thereon, and present before Jehovah every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; and thou, and Aaron, each his censer.

and take ye each his censer, and ye have put on them perfume, and brought near before Jehovah, each his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; and thou and Aaron, each his censer.'

18 A nd they took each his censer, and put fire on them, and laid incense thereon, and stood before the entrance to the tent of meeting, as well as Moses and Aaron.

And they take each his censer, and put on them fire, and lay on them perfume, and they stand at the opening of the tent of meeting, with Moses and Aaron.

19 A nd Korah gathered the whole assembly against them to the entrance of the tent of meeting. And the glory of Jehovah appeared to all the assembly.

And Korah assembleth against them all the company unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and the honour of Jehovah is seen by all the company.

20 A nd Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

21 S eparate yourselves from the midst of this assembly, and I will consume them in a moment.

`Be ye separated from the midst of this company, and I consume them in a moment;'

22 A nd they fell on their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh! shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with the whole assembly?

and they fall on their faces, and say, `God, God of the spirits of all flesh -- the one man sinneth, and against all the company Thou art wroth!'

23 A nd Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

24 S peak unto the assembly, saying, Get you up from about the habitation of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.

`Speak unto the company, saying, Go ye up from round about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.'

25 A nd Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.

And Moses riseth, and goeth unto Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel go after him,

26 A nd he spoke to the assembly, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye perish in all their sins.

and he speaketh unto the company, saying, `Turn aside, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and come not against anything that they have, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.'

27 A nd they got up from the habitation of Koran, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side. And Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the entrance of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little ones.

And they go up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan and Abiram, from round about, and Dathan, and Abiram have come out, standing at the opening of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their infants.

28 A nd Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that Jehovah has sent me to do all these deeds, for they are not out of my own heart:

And Moses saith, `By this ye do know that Jehovah hath sent me to do all these works, that not from my own heart;

29 i f these men die as all men die, and are visited with the visitation of all men, Jehovah has not sent me;

if according to the death of all men these die -- or the charge of all men is charged upon them -- Jehovah hath not sent me;

30 b ut if Jehovah make a new thing, and the ground open its mouth, and swallow them up, and all that they have, and they go down alive into Sheol, then ye shall know that these men have despised Jehovah.

and if a strange thing Jehovah do, and the ground hath opened her mouth and swallowed them, and all that they have, and they have gone down alive to Sheol -- then ye have known that these men have despised Jehovah.'

31 A nd it came to pass when he had ended speaking all these words, that the ground clave apart that was under them.

And it cometh to pass at his finishing speaking all these words, that the ground which under them cleaveth,

32 A nd the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men that belonged to Korah, and all their property.

and the earth openeth her mouth, and swalloweth them, and their houses, and all the men who for Korah, and all the goods,

33 A nd they went down, they and all that they had, alive into Sheol, and the earth covered them; and they perished from among the congregation.

and they go down, they, and all that they have, alive to Sheol, and the earth closeth over them, and they perish from the midst of the assembly;

34 A nd all Israel that were round about them fled at their cry; for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up!

and all Israel who round about them have fled at their voice, for they said, `Lest the earth swallow us;'

35 A nd there came out a fire from Jehovah, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that had presented incense.

and fire hath come out from Jehovah, and consumeth the two hundred and fifty men bringing near the perfume.

36 A nd Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

37 S peak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning; and scatter the fire afar; for they are hallowed,

`Say unto Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, and he lifteth up the censers from the midst of the burning, and the fire scatter thou yonder, for they have been hallowed,

38 t he censers of these sinners who have forfeited their life; and they shall make them into broad plates for the covering of the altar; for they presented them before Jehovah, therefore they are hallowed; and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.

the censers of these sinners against their own souls; and they have made them spread-out plates, a covering for the altar, for they have brought them near before Jehovah, and they are hallowed; and they are become a sign to the sons of Israel.'

39 A nd Eleazar the priest took the copper censers, which they that were burnt had presented; and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar:

And Eleazar the priest taketh the brazen censers which they who are burnt had brought near, and they spread them out, a covering for the altar --

40 a s a memorial to the children of Israel, that no stranger who is not of the seed of Aaron come near to burn incense before Jehovah, that he be not as Korah, and as his band,—as Jehovah had said to him through Moses.

a memorial to the sons of Israel, so that a stranger who is not of the seed of Aaron doth not draw near to make a perfume before Jehovah, and is not as Korah, and as his company, -- as Jehovah hath spoken by the hand of Moses to him.

41 A nd the whole assembly of the children of Israel murmured on the morrow against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of Jehovah.

And all the company of the sons of Israel murmur, on the morrow, against Moses and against Aaron, saying, `Ye -- ye have put to death the people of Jehovah.'

42 A nd it came to pass, when the assembly was gathered together against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting, and behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of Jehovah appeared.

And it cometh to pass, in the company being assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they turn towards the tent of meeting, and lo, the cloud hath covered it, and the honour of Jehovah is seen;

43 A nd Moses and Aaron went before the tent of meeting.

and Moses cometh -- Aaron also -- unto the front of the tent of meeting.

44 A nd Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

45 G et you up from the midst of this assembly, and I will consume them in a moment. And they fell on their faces.

`Get you up from the midst of this company, and I consume them in a moment;' and they fall on their faces,

46 A nd Moses said to Aaron, Take the censer, and put fire thereon from off the altar, and lay on incense, and carry it quickly to the assembly, and make atonement for them; for there is wrath gone out from Jehovah: the plague is begun.

and Moses saith unto Aaron, `Take the censer, and put on it fire from off the altar, and place perfume, and go, hasten unto the company, and make atonement for them, for the wrath hath gone out from the presence of Jehovah -- the plague hath begun.'

47 A nd Aaron took as Moses had said, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and behold, the plague had begun among the people; and he put on incense, and made atonement for the people.

And Aaron taketh as Moses hath spoken, and runneth unto the midst of the assembly, and lo, the plague hath begun among the people; and he giveth the perfume, and maketh atonement for the people,

48 A nd he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.

and standeth between the dead and the living, and the plague is restrained;

49 N ow they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides them that had died because of the matter of Korah.

and those who die by the plague are fourteen thousand and seven hundred, apart from those who die for the matter of Korah;

50 A nd Aaron returned to Moses to the entrance of the tent of meeting; and the plague was stayed.

and Aaron turneth back unto Moses, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and the plague hath been restrained.
