1. Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took {cf15i men}:
|
1. Now Korah H7141 , the son H1121 of Izhar H3324 , the son H1121 of Kohath H6955 , the son H1121 of Levi H3878 , and Dathan H1885 and Abiram H48 , the sons H1121 of Eliab H446 , and On H203 , the son H1121 of Peleth H6431 , sons H1121 of Reuben H7205 , took H3947 men :
|
|
2. and they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the congregation, called to the assembly, men of renown:
|
2. And they rose up H6965 before H6440 Moses H4872 , with certain H376 of the children H4480 H1121 of Israel H3478 , two hundred H3967 and fifty H2572 princes H5387 of the assembly H5712 , famous H7148 in the congregation H4150 , men H376 of renown H8034 :
|
|
3. and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the assembly of the LORD?
|
3. And they gathered themselves together H6950 against H5921 Moses H4872 and against H5921 Aaron H175 , and said H559 unto H413 them, Ye take too much H7227 upon you, seeing H3588 all H3605 the congregation H5712 are holy H6918 , every one H3605 of them , and the LORD H3068 is among H8432 them: wherefore H4069 then lift ye up yourselves H5375 above H5921 the congregation H6951 of the LORD H3068 ?
|
|
4. And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:
|
4. And when Moses H4872 heard H8085 it , he fell H5307 upon H5921 his face H6440 :
|
|
5. and he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, In the morning the LORD will shew who are his, and who is holy, and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he shall choose will he cause to come near unto him.
|
5. And he spoke H1696 unto H413 Korah H7141 and unto H413 all H3605 his company H5712 , saying H559 , Even tomorrow H1242 the LORD H3068 will show H3045 H853 who H834 are his , and who is holy H6918 ; and will cause him to come near H7126 unto H413 him : even him whom H834 he hath chosen H977 will he cause to come near H7126 unto H413 him.
|
|
6. This do; take you censers, Korah, and all his company;
|
6. This H2063 do H6213 ; Take H3947 you censers H4289 , Korah H7141 , and all H3605 his company H5712 ;
|
|
7. and put fire therein, and put incense upon them before the LORD tomorrow: and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he {cf15i shall be} holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.
|
7. And put H5414 fire H784 therein , and put H7760 incense H7004 in H5921 them before H6440 the LORD H3068 tomorrow H4279 : and it shall be H1961 that the man H376 whom H834 the LORD H3068 doth choose H977 , he H1931 shall be holy H6918 : ye take too much H7227 upon you , ye sons H1121 of Levi H3878 .
|
|
8. And Moses said unto Korah, Hear now, ye sons of Levi:
|
8. And Moses H4872 said H559 unto H413 Korah H7141 , Hear H8085 , I pray you H4994 , ye sons H1121 of Levi H3878 :
|
|
9. {cf15i seemeth it but} a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself; to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them;
|
9. Seemeth it but a small thing H4592 unto H4480 you, that H3588 the God H430 of Israel H3478 hath separated H914 you from the congregation H4480 H5712 of Israel H3478 , to bring you near H7126 H853 to H413 himself to do H5647 H853 the service H5656 of the tabernacle H4908 of the LORD H3068 , and to stand H5975 before H6440 the congregation H5712 to minister H8334 unto them?
|
|
10. and that he hath brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee? and seek ye the priesthood also?
|
10. And he hath brought thee near H7126 H853 to him , and all H3605 thy brethren H251 the sons H1121 of Levi H3878 with H854 thee : and seek H1245 ye the priesthood H3550 also H1571 ?
|
|
11. Therefore thou and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD: and Aaron, what is he that ye murmur against him?
|
11. For which cause H3651 both thou H859 and all H3605 thy company H5712 are gathered together H3259 against H5921 the LORD H3068 : and what H4100 is Aaron H175 , that H3588 ye murmur H3885 against H5921 him?
|
|
12. And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: and they said, We will not come up:
|
12. And Moses H4872 sent H7971 to call H7121 Dathan H1885 and Abiram H48 , the sons H1121 of Eliab H446 : which said H559 , We will not H3808 come up H5927 :
|
|
13. is 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, but thou must needs make thyself also a prince over us?
|
13. Is it a small thing H4592 that H3588 thou hast brought us up H5927 out of a land H4480 H776 that floweth H2100 with milk H2461 and honey H1706 , to kill H4191 us in the wilderness H4057 , except H3588 thou make thyself altogether a prince H8323 H8323 H1571 over H5921 us?
|
|
14. Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.
|
14. Moreover H637 thou hast not H3808 brought H935 us into H413 a land H776 that floweth H2100 with milk H2461 and honey H1706 , or given H5414 us inheritance H5159 of fields H7704 and vineyards H3754 : wilt thou put out H5365 the eyes H5869 of these H1992 men H376 ? we will not H3808 come up H5927 .
|
|
15. And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.
|
15. And Moses H4872 was very wroth H2734 H3966 , and said H559 unto H413 the LORD H3068 , Respect H6437 H413 not H408 thou their offering H4503 : I have not H3808 taken H5375 one H259 ass H2543 from H4480 them, neither H3808 have I hurt H7489 H853 one H259 of H4480 them.
|
|
16. And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy congregation before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow:
|
16. And Moses H4872 said H559 unto H413 Korah H7141 , Be H1961 thou H859 and all H3605 thy company H5712 before H6440 the LORD H3068 , thou H859 , and they H1992 , and Aaron H175 , tomorrow H4279 :
|
|
17. and take ye every man his censer, and put incense upon them, and bring ye before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each his censer.
|
17. And take H3947 every man H376 his censer H4289 , and put H5414 incense H7004 in H5921 them , and bring H7126 ye before H6440 the LORD H3068 every man H376 his censer H4289 , two hundred H3967 and fifty H2572 censers H4289 ; thou H859 also , and Aaron H175 , each H376 of you his censer H4289 .
|
|
18. And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood at the door of the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.
|
18. And they took H3947 every man H376 his censer H4289 , and put H5414 fire H784 in H413 them , and laid H7760 incense H7004 thereon H413 , and stood H5975 in the door H6607 of the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 with Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 .
|
|
19. And Korah assembled all the congregation against them unto the door of the tent of meeting: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation.
|
19. And Korah H7141 gathered H6950 H853 all H3605 the congregation H5712 against H5921 them unto H413 the door H6607 of the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 : and the glory H3519 of the LORD H3068 appeared H7200 unto H413 all H3605 the congregation H5712 .
|
|
20. And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
|
20. And the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 unto H413 Moses H4872 and unto H413 Aaron H175 , saying H559 ,
|
|
21. Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.
|
21. Separate yourselves H914 from among H4480 H8432 this H2063 congregation H5712 , that I may consume H3615 them in a moment H7281 .
|
|
22. And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?
|
22. And they fell H5307 upon H5921 their faces H6440 , and said H559 , O God H410 , the God H430 of the spirits H7307 of all H3605 flesh H1320 , shall one H259 man H376 sin H2398 , and wilt thou be wroth H7107 with H5921 all H3605 the congregation H5712 ?
|
|
23. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
|
23. And the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 unto H413 Moses H4872 , saying H559 ,
|
|
24. Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
|
24. Speak H1696 unto H413 the congregation H5712 , saying H559 , Get you up H5927 from about H4480 H5439 the tabernacle H4908 of Korah H7141 , Dathan H1885 , and Abiram H48 .
|
|
25. And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
|
25. And Moses H4872 rose up H6965 and went H1980 unto H413 Dathan H1885 and Abiram H48 ; and the elders H2205 of Israel H3478 followed H1980 H310 him.
|
|
26. And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.
|
26. And he spoke H1696 unto H413 the congregation H5712 , saying H559 , Depart H5493 , I pray you H4994 , from H4480 H5921 the tents H168 of these H428 wicked H7563 men H376 , and touch H5060 nothing H408 H3605 of theirs, lest H6435 ye be consumed H5595 in all H3605 their sins H2403 .
|
|
27. So they gat them up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood at the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little ones.
|
27. So they got up H5927 from H4480 H5921 the tabernacle H4908 of Korah H7141 , Dathan H1885 , and Abiram H48 , on every side H4480 H5439 : and Dathan H1885 and Abiram H48 came out H3318 , and stood H5324 in the door H6607 of their tents H168 , and their wives H802 , and their sons H1121 , and their little children H2945 .
|
|
28. And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for {cf15i I have} not {cf15i done them} of mine own mind.
|
28. And Moses H4872 said H559 , Hereby H2063 ye shall know H3045 that H3588 the LORD H3068 hath sent H7971 me to do H6213 H853 all H3605 these H428 works H4639 ; for H3588 I have not H3808 done them of mine own mind H4480 H3820 .
|
|
29. If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hath not sent me.
|
29. If H518 these H428 men die H4191 the common death H4194 of all H3605 men H120 , or if they be visited H6485 after H5921 the visitation H6486 of all H3605 men H120 ; then the LORD H3068 hath not H3808 sent H7971 me.
|
|
30. But if the LORD make a new thing, and the ground open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down alive into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have despised the LORD.
|
30. But if H518 the LORD H3068 make H1254 a new thing H1278 , and the earth H127 open H6475 H853 her mouth H6310 , and swallow them up H1104 H853 , with all H3605 that H834 appertain unto them , and they go down H3381 quick H2416 into the pit H7585 ; then ye shall understand H3045 that H3588 these H428 men H376 have provoked H5006 H853 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
31. And it came to pass, as he made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them:
|
31. And it came to pass H1961 , as he had made an end H3615 of speaking H1696 H853 all H3605 these H428 words H1697 , that the ground H127 cleaved asunder H1234 that H834 was under H8478 them:
|
|
32. and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.
|
32. And the earth H776 opened H6605 H853 her mouth H6310 , and swallowed them up H1104 H853 , and their houses H1004 , and all H3605 the men H120 that H834 appertained unto Korah H7141 , and all H3605 their goods H7399 .
|
|
33. So they, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit: and the earth closed upon them, and they perished from among the assembly.
|
33. They H1992 , and all H3605 that H834 appertained to them , went down H3381 alive H2416 into the pit H7585 , and the earth H776 closed H3680 upon H5921 them : and they perished H6 from among H4480 H8432 the congregation H6951 .
|
|
34. And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up.
|
34. And all H3605 Israel H3478 that H834 were round about H5439 them fled H5127 at the cry H6963 of them: for H3588 they said H559 , Lest H6435 the earth H776 swallow us up H1104 also .
|
|
35. And fire came forth from the LORD, and devoured the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense.
|
35. And there came out H3318 a fire H784 from H4480 H854 the LORD H3068 , and consumed H398 the H853 two hundred H3967 and fifty H2572 men H376 that offered H7126 incense H7004 .
|
|
36. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
|
36. And the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 unto H413 Moses H4872 , saying H559 ,
|
|
37. Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are holy;
|
37. Speak H559 unto H413 Eleazar H499 the son H1121 of Aaron H175 the priest H3548 , that he take up H7311 H853 the censers H4289 out of H4480 H996 the burning H8316 , and scatter H2219 thou the fire H784 yonder H1973 ; for H3588 they are hallowed H6942 .
|
|
38. even the censers of these sinners against their own lives, and let them be made beaten plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are holy: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.
|
38. H853 The censers H4289 of these H428 sinners H2400 against their own souls H5315 , let them make H6213 H853 them broad H7555 plates H6341 for a covering H6826 of the altar H4196 : for H3588 they offered H7126 them before H6440 the LORD H3068 , therefore they are hallowed H6942 : and they shall be H1961 a sign H226 unto the children H1121 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
39. And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers, which they that were burnt had offered; and they beat them out for a covering of the altar:
|
39. And Eleazar H499 the priest H3548 took H3947 H853 the brazen H5178 censers H4289 , wherewith H834 they that were burnt H8313 had offered H7126 ; and they were made broad H7554 plates for a covering H6826 of the altar H4196 :
|
|
40. to be a memorial unto the children of Israel, to the end that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to burn incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD spake unto him by the hand of Moses.
|
40. To be a memorial H2146 unto the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , that H4616 H834 no H3808 stranger H376 H2114 , which H1931 is not H3808 of the seed H4480 H2233 of Aaron H175 , come near H7126 to offer H6999 incense H7004 before H6440 the LORD H3068 ; that he be H1961 not H3808 as Korah H7141 , and as his company H5712 : as H834 the LORD H3068 said H1696 to him by the hand H3027 of Moses H4872 .
|
|
41. But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of the LORD.
|
41. But on the morrow H4480 H4283 all H3605 the congregation H5712 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 murmured H3885 against H5921 Moses H4872 and against H5921 Aaron H175 , saying H559 , Ye H859 have killed H4191 H853 the people H5971 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
42. And it came to pass, when the congregation was assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared.
|
42. And it came to pass H1961 , when the congregation H5712 was gathered H6950 against H5921 Moses H4872 and against H5921 Aaron H175 , that they looked H6437 toward H413 the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 : and, behold H2009 , the cloud H6051 covered H3680 it , and the glory H3519 of the LORD H3068 appeared H7200 .
|
|
43. And Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting.
|
43. And Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 came H935 before H413 H6440 the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 .
|
|
44. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
|
44. And the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 unto H413 Moses H4872 , saying H559 ,
|
|
45. Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.
|
45. Get you up H7426 from among H4480 H8432 this H2063 congregation H5712 , that I may consume H3615 them as in a moment H7281 . And they fell H5307 upon H5921 their faces H6440 .
|
|
46. And Moses said unto Aaron, Take thy censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and lay incense thereon, and carry it quickly unto the congregation, and make atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun.
|
46. And Moses H4872 said H559 unto H413 Aaron H175 , Take H3947 H853 a censer H4289 , and put H5414 fire H784 therein H5921 from off H4480 H5921 the altar H4196 , and put on H7760 incense H7004 , and go H1980 quickly H4120 unto H413 the congregation H5712 , and make an atonement H3722 for H5921 them: for H3588 there is wrath H7110 gone out H3318 from H4480 H6440 the LORD H3068 ; the plague H5063 is begun H2490 .
|
|
47. And Aaron took as Moses spake, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on the incense, and made atonement for the people.
|
47. And Aaron H175 took H3947 as H834 Moses H4872 commanded H1696 , and ran H7323 into H413 the midst H8432 of the congregation H6951 ; and, behold H2009 , the plague H5063 was begun H2490 among the people H5971 : and he put on H5414 H853 incense H7004 , and made an atonement H3722 for H5921 the people H5971 .
|
|
48. And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
|
48. And he stood H5975 between H996 the dead H4191 and the living H2416 ; and the plague H4046 was stayed H6113 .
