45. “Arise from amidst this congregation, and let Me consume them in a moment.” And they fell on their faces.

46. So Mosheh said to Aharon, “Take the fire holder and put fire in it from the altar, and lay incense on, and go, hurry to the congregation and make atonement for them, for wrath has gone out from יהוה, the plague has begun.”

47. And Aharon took it as Mosheh commanded, and ran into the midst of the assembly, and saw that the plague had begun among the people. And he laid on the incense and made atonement for the people,

48. and stood between the dead and the living. And the plague was stopped.

49. And those who died in the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides those who died on account of Qoraḥ.

50. Then Aharon returned to Mosheh at the door of the Tent of Meeting, for the plague had stopped.
