Numbers 16:11-27 World English Bible (WEB)

11. Therefore you and all your company have gathered together against Yahweh! What is Aaron that you murmur against him?”

12. Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said, “We won’t come up!

13. Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, but you must also make yourself a prince over us?

14. Moreover you haven’t brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you put out the eyes of these men? We won’t come up.”

15. Moses was very angry, and said to Yahweh, “Don’t respect their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them, neither have I hurt one of them.”

16. Moses said to Korah, “You and all your company go before Yahweh, you, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow.

17. Each man take his censer, and put incense on them, and each man bring before Yahweh his censer, two hundred fifty censers; you also, and Aaron, each his censer.”

18. They each took his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense on it, and stood at the door of the Tent of Meeting with Moses and Aaron.

19. Korah assembled all the congregation opposite them to the door of the Tent of Meeting. Yahweh’s glory appeared to all the congregation.

20. Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

21. “Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment!”

22. They fell on their faces, and said, “God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will you be angry with all the congregation?”

23. Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

24. “Speak to the congregation, saying, ‘Get away from around the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram!’”

25. Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.

26. He spoke to the congregation, saying, “Depart, please, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be consumed in all their sins!”

27. So they went away from the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side. Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood at the door of their tents, with their wives, their sons, and their little ones.
