Numbers 16:15-27 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

15. Then Moses became very angry and said to the Lord, "Do not regard their offering! I have not taken a single donkey from them, nor have I done harm to any of them."

16. Moses said to Korah, "You and all your company be present before the Lord tomorrow, both you and they along with Aaron.

17. Each of you take his firepan and put incense on it, and each of you bring his censer before the Lord, two hundred and fifty firepans; also you and Aaron shall each bring his firepan."

18. So they each took his own censer and put fire on it, and laid incense on it; and they stood at the doorway of the tent of meeting, with Moses and Aaron.

19. Thus Korah assembled all the congregation against them at the doorway of the tent of meeting. And the glory of the Lord appeared to all the congregation.

20. Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

21. "Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them instantly."

22. But they fell on their faces and said, "O God, God of the spirits of all flesh, when one man sins, will You be angry with the entire congregation?"

23. Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

24. "Speak to the congregation, saying, 'Get back from around the dwellings of Korah, Dathan and Abiram.'"

25. Then Moses arose and went to Dathan and Abiram, with the elders of Israel following him,

26. and he spoke to the congregation, saying, "Depart now from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing that belongs to them, or you will be swept away in all their sin."

27. So they got back from around the dwellings of Korah, Dathan and Abiram; and Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the doorway of their tents, along with their wives and their sons and their little ones.
