Numbers 16:11-22 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

11. Therefore, it is you and all your followers who have conspired against the Lord! As for Aaron, who is he that you should complain about him? ”

12. Moses sent for Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, but they said, “We will not come!

13. Is it not enough that you brought us up from a land flowing with milk and honey to kill us in the wilderness? Do you also have to appoint yourself as ruler over us?

14. Furthermore, you didn’t bring us to a land flowing with milk and honey or give us an inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you gouge out the eyes of these men? We will not come! ”

15. Then Moses became angry and said to the Lord, “Don’t respect their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them or mistreated a single one of them.”

16. So Moses told Korah, “You and all your followers are to appear before the Lord tomorrow — you, they, and Aaron.

17. Each of you is to take his firepan, place incense on it, and present his firepan before the Lord — 250 firepans. You and Aaron are each to present your firepan also.”

18. Each man took his firepan, placed fire in it, put incense on it, and stood at the entrance to the tent of meeting along with Moses and Aaron.

19. After Korah assembled the whole community against them at the entrance to the tent of meeting, the glory of the Lord appeared to the whole community.

20. The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron,

21. “Separate yourselves from this community so I may consume them instantly.”

22. But Moses and Aaron fell facedown and said, “God, God of the spirits of all flesh, when one man sins, will You vent Your wrath on the whole community? ”
