41. And all the company of the sons of Israel murmur, on the morrow, against Moses and against Aaron, saying, `Ye--ye have put to death the people of Jehovah.'
42. And it cometh to pass, in the company being assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they turn towards the tent of meeting, and lo, the cloud hath covered it, and the honour of Jehovah is seen;
43. and Moses cometh--Aaron also--unto the front of the tent of meeting.
44. And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
45. `Get you up from the midst of this company, and I consume them in a moment;' and they fall on their faces,
46. and Moses saith unto Aaron, `Take the censer, and put on it fire from off the altar, and place perfume, and go, hasten unto the company, and make atonement for them, for the wrath hath gone out from the presence of Jehovah--the plague hath begun.'
47. And Aaron taketh as Moses hath spoken, and runneth unto the midst of the assembly, and lo, the plague hath begun among the people; and he giveth the perfume, and maketh atonement for the people,
48. and standeth between the dead and the living, and the plague is restrained;
49. and those who die by the plague are fourteen thousand and seven hundred, apart from those who die for the matter of Korah;
