Numbers 16:13-30 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

13. Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that flowed with milk and honey to make us die in the wilderness, but thou must also make thyself lord to rule over us?

14. Moreover, thou hast not brought us into a land that flows 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 angry and said unto the Lord, Look not thou upon their offering; I have not taken so much as one ass from them, neither have I done evil to any of them.

16. And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the Lord, thou and they and Aaron, tomorrow;

17. and let each man take his censer and put incense in them and let each man bring his censer before the Lord, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also and Aaron, each of you with his censer.

18. And each man took his censer and put fire in them and laid incense in them and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the testimony with Moses and Aaron.

19. And Korah had gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the testimony; then the glory of the Lord appeared unto all the congregation.

20. And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

21. Separate yourselves from among this congregation, and I will consume them in a moment.

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?

23. Then the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

24. Speak unto the congregation, saying, Separate yourselves now from the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.

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

26. And he spoke unto the congregation, saying, Depart from the tents of these wicked men and touch nothing of theirs lest peradventure ye be consumed in all their sins.

27. So they removed themselves from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side; and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, with their wives and their sons and their little children.

28. And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the Lord has sent me to do all these works, for I have not done them out of my own heart.

29. If these men die the common death of all men or if they are visited after the visitation of all men, then the Lord has not sent me.

30. But if the Lord does a new thing and the earth opens her mouth and swallows them up with all their things and they go down alive into Sheol, then ye shall know that these men have provoked the Lord.
