Numbers 16:13-27 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

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, that thou must make thyself altogether a ruler over us?

14. Moreover, 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!

15. Then 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.

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

17. And 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.

18. And 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.

19. And 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.

20. And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

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

22. And 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?

23. And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

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

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

26. And 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.

27. And 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.
