42. And when there arose a sedition, and the tumult increased,
43. Moses and Aaron fled to the tabernacle of the covenant. But after they had entered it, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.
44. And the Lord said to Moses:
45. "Withdraw from the midst of this multitude, and I will destroy them immediately." And while they were lying on the ground,
46. Moses said to Aaron: "Take the censer, and draw fire into it from the altar; place incense upon it, and continue on, quickly, to the people, to pray for them. For already wrath has gone forth from the Lord, and the scourge rages."
47. When Aaron had done this, and he ran into the midst of the multitude, which the burning fire was now destroying, and he offered the incense.
48. And standing between the dead and the living, he prayed for the people, and the scourge ceased.
49. But the number of those who were struck down was fourteen thousand men, and seven hundred, aside from those who had perished in the sedition of Korah.
50. And Aaron returned to Moses at the door of the tabernacle of the covenant, after the destruction quieted.
