New Testament

Numbers 16:11-18 New International Version (NIV)

11. It is against the Lord that you and all your followers have banded together. Who is Aaron that you should grumble against him?”

12. Then Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab. But they said, “We will not come!

13. Isn’t it enough that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey to kill us in the wilderness? And now you also want to lord it over us!

14. Moreover, you haven’t brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey or given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards. Do you want to treat these men like slaves ? No, we will not come!”

15. Then Moses became very angry and said to the Lord, “Do not accept their offering. I have not taken so much as a donkey from them, nor have I wronged any of them.”

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

17. Each man is to take his censer and put incense in it—250 censers in all—and present it before the Lord. You and Aaron are to present your censers also.”

18. So each of them took his censer, put burning coals and incense in it, and stood with Moses and Aaron at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
