New Testament

Numbers 16:44-50 Modern English Version (MEV)

44. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

45. “Get up from among this assembly, that I may destroy them in a moment.” And they fell on their faces.

46. Moses said to Aaron, “Take a censer and put fire in it from off the altar, and put in incense, and go quickly to the assembly, and make an atonement for them, because wrath has gone out from the Lord. The plague has begun.”

47. Aaron took it as Moses commanded and ran into the midst of the assembly, where the plague had begun among the people. He put in incense and made an atonement for the people.

48. He stood between the dead and the living, and the plague was stopped.

49. Now those who died in the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides those that died concerning the thing of Korah.

50. Aaron returned to Moses, to the door of the tent of meeting, and the plague was stopped.
