Numbers 16:18-27 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

18. So each one took his fire holder, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and stood at the door of the Tent of Meeting with Mosheh and Aharon.

19. And Qoraḥ assembled all the congregation against them at the door of the Tent of Meeting. Then the esteem of יהוה appeared to all the congregation.

20. And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, and to Aharon, saying,

21. “Separate yourselves from the midst of this congregation, and let Me consume them in a moment.”

22. But they fell on their faces, and said, “O Ěl, Elohim of the spirits of all flesh! When one man sins, are You wroth with all the congregation?”

23. And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,

24. “Speak to the congregation, saying, ‘Move away from around the tents of Qoraḥ, Dathan, and Aḇiram.’ ”

25. So Mosheh rose up and went to Dathan and Aḇiram, and the elders of Yisra’ĕl followed him.

26. And he spoke to the congregation, saying, “Please turn away from the tents of these wrong men! Do not touch whatever belongs to them, lest you be consumed in all their sins.”

27. Then they moved away from around the tents of Qoraḥ, Dathan, and Aḇiram. And Dathan and Aḇiram came out and stood at the door of their tents, with their wives, and their sons, and their little children.
