Old Testament

New Testament

Numbers 16:8-14 English Standard Version (ESV)

8. And Moses said to Korah, “Hear now, you sons of Levi:

9. is it too small a thing for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do service in the tabernacle of the Lord and to stand before the congregation to minister to them,

10. and that he has brought you near him, and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you? And would you seek the priesthood also?

11. Therefore it is against the Lord that you and all your company have gathered together. What is Aaron that you grumble against him?”

12. And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, and they said, “We will not come up.

13. Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, that you must also make yourself a prince over us?

14. Moreover, you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you put out the eyes of these men? We will not come up.”
