Bamidbar 16:11-24 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

11. For which cause both thou and all thy edah are gathered together against Hashem; and what is Aharon, that ye murmur against him?

12. And Moshe sent to call Datan and Aviram, the Bnei Eliav, which said, We will not come up.

13. Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of an Eretz zavach cholov udevash, to kill us in the midbar, yet thou also keep trying to dominate us?

14. Moreover thou hast not brought us into an Eretz zavach cholov udevash, or given us nachalah of sadeh and kerem; wilt thou gouge out the eyes of these men? We will not come up.

15. And Moshe was very angry, and said unto Hashem, Respect not thou their minchah; I have not taken one donkey from them, neither have I wronged one of them.

16. And Moshe said unto Korach, Be thou and all thy edah before Hashem, thou, they, and Aharon, tomorrow;

17. And take every man his fire pan, put ketoret in them, and bring ye before Hashem every man his fire pan, 250 fire pans; thou also, and Aharon, each of you his fire pan.

18. And they took every man his fire pan and put eish in them and laid ketoret thereon, and stood in the entrance of the Ohel Mo'ed with Moshe and Aharon.

19. And Korach gathered kol haedah against them unto the entrance of the Ohel Mo'ed; and the Kavod Hashem appeared unto Kol HaEdah.

20. And Hashem spoke unto Moshe and unto Aharon, saying,

21. Separate yourselves from among this edah, that I may consume them in a moment.

22. And they fell upon their faces, and said, El Elohei HaRuchot L'Chol Basar, shall one man sin, and wilt Thou be angry with Kol HaEdah?

23. And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

24. Speak unto HaEdah, saying, Get you up away from the mishkan Korach, Datan, and Aviram.
