16. And they are envious of Moses in the camp, Of Aaron, Jehovah's holy one.
17. Earth openeth, and swalloweth up Dathan, And covereth over the company of Abiram.
18. And fire burneth among their company, A flame setteth on fire the wicked.
19. They make a calf in Horeb, And bow themselves to a molten image,
20. And change their Honour Into the form of an ox eating herbs.
21. They have forgotten God their saviour, The doer of great things in Egypt,
22. Of wonderful things in the land of Ham, Of fearful things by the sea of Suph.
23. And He saith to destroy them, Unless Moses, His chosen one, Had stood in the breach before Him, To turn back His wrath from destroying.
24. And they kick against the desirable land, They have not given credence to His word.
25. And they murmur in their tents, They have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah.
26. And He lifteth up His hand to them, To cause them to fall in a wilderness,
27. And to cause their seed to fall among nations, And to scatter them through lands.
