REBELLION OF QORACH
Now Qorach the son of Yishar the son of Qehath the son of Levi and Dathan and Abi Ram the sons of Eli Ab and On the son of Peleth sons of Reu Ben 2 take and rise at the face of Mosheh, with certain of the sons of Yisra El - two hundred and fifty hierarchs of the witness of the called of the congregation - men of name: 3 and they congregate against Mosheh and against Aharon and say to them, You are too much!, for all the witness - all of them are holy and Yah Veh is among them! So why exalt yourselves above the congregation of Yah Veh? 4 And Mosheh hears, and falls on his face: 5 and he words to Qorach and to all his witness, saying, On the morrow Yah Veh knows who are his and who is holy; and has him approach - even him whom he chooses to approach him. 6 Work this; Take trays, Qorach and all his witness; 7 and give fire therein and put incense therein at the face of Yah Veh tomorrow: and so be it, the man whom Yah Veh chooses, he is holy: you are too much, you sons of Levi. 8 And Mosheh says to Qorach, Hear, I beseech you, you sons of Levi: 9 seems it but petty to you, that Elohim of Yisra El separated you from the witness of Yisra El to oblate you to himself - to serve the service of the tabernacle of Yah Veh and to stand at the face of the witness to minister to them? 10 Yes, he has you approach him - you and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you - and seek you the priesthood also? 11 Thus you and all your witness congregate against Yah Veh: and what is Aharon, that you murmur against him? 12 And Mosheh sends to call Dathan and Abi Ram the sons of Eli Ab: who say, We ascend not: 13 Is it petty that you ascended us from a land flowing with milk and honey, to deathify us in the wilderness? - and in marshalling, marshall over us? 14 Yes, you neither brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor gave us inheritance of fields and vineyards: bore you out the eyes of these men? We ascend not! 15 And Mosheh inflames mightily, and says to Yah Veh, Turn not your face to their offering: I neither lifted one he burro from them, nor vilified I one of them. 16 And Mosheh says to Qorach, You and all your witness, be at the face of Yah Veh - you and they and Aharon, tomorrow: 17 and every man take his tray and give incense therein and oblate at the face of Yah Veh - every man his tray - two hundred and fifty trays; - you and Aharon - every man his tray. 18 And every man takes his tray and gives fire therein and sets incense thereon and stands in the opening of the tent of the congregation with Mosheh and Aharon. 19 And Qorach congregates all the witness against them to the opening of the tent of the congregation: and the honor of Yah Veh is seen by all the witness. 20 And Yah Veh words to Mosheh and to Aharon, saying, 21 Separate yourselves from among this witness and I finish them off in a blink. 22 And they fall on their faces and say, O El, the Elohim of the spirits of all flesh, one man sins and enrage you with all the witness? 23 And Yah Veh words to Mosheh, saying, 24 Word to the witness, saying, Ascend from all around the tabernacle of Qorach, Dathan and Abi Ram. 25 And Mosheh rises and goes to Dathan and Abi Ram; and the elders of Yisra El go after him: 26 and he words to the witness, saying, Turn aside, I beseech you, from the tents of these wicked men and touch naught of theirs lest you be scraped away in all their sins. 27 So they ascend from all around the tabernacle of Qorach, Dathan and Abi Ram; and Dathan and Abi Ram come out and station themselves in the opening of their tents with their women and their sons and their toddlers. 28 And Mosheh says, Hereby you know that Yah Veh sends me to work all these works; and not of my own heart. 29 If these men die the common death of all humanity, or if they be visited after the visitation of all humanity; then Yah Veh has not sent me: 30 but if Yah Veh creates a creation and the soil gapes her mouth and swallows them with all they have, and they descend alive into sheol; then understand that these men scorn Yah Veh. 31 And so be it, as he finishes wording all these words, that the soil under them splits: 32 and the earth opens her mouth and swallows them and their houses and all the humanity of Qorach and all their acquisitions: 33 they and all they have descends alive into the pit and the earth closes in on them: and they destruct from among the congregation. 34 And all Yisra El all around them flees at their voice: for they say, Lest the earth swallow us! 35 And a fire comes out from Yah Veh and consumes the two hundred and fifty men who oblate incense. 36 And Yah Veh words to Mosheh, saying, 37 Say to El Azar the son of Aharon the priest, to lift the trays between the burning and winnow the fire yonder; for they are hallowed 38 - the trays of these sinners against their own souls: work them into expanded sheets for an overlay of the sacrifice altar: for they oblate them at the face of Yah Veh, so they become hallowed: and they become a sign to the sons of Yisra El. 39 And El Azar the priest takes the copper trays, with which they who were burnt had oblated; and they expanded them to overlay the sacrifice altar 40 - a memorial to the sons of Yisra El; so that any man - stranger, not of the seed of Aharon, approaches not to offer incense at the face of Yah Veh; that he become not as Qorach and as his witness: as Yah Veh worded to him by the hand of Mosheh. 41
SONS OF YISRA EL MURMUR
But on the morrow all the witness of the sons of Yisra El murmur against Mosheh and against Aharon, saying, You deathified the people of Yah Veh. 42 And so be it, when the witness congregates against Mosheh and against Aharon, they turn their face toward the tent of the congregation: and behold, the cloud covers it and the honor of Yah Veh is seen. 43 And Mosheh and Aharon come at the face of the tent of the congregation: 44 and Yah Veh words to Mosheh, saying, 45 Get from among this witness and I finish them off as in a blink. - and they fall on their faces. 46 And Mosheh says to Aharon, Take a tray and give fire therein from off the sacrifice altar and put on incense and carry it quickly to the witness and kapar/atone for them: for a rage goes out from the face of Yah Veh; the plague begins. 47 And Aharon takes as Mosheh worded, and runs midst the congregation; and behold, the plague among the people begins: and he gives incense and kapars/atones for the people: 48 and he stands between the dying and the living; and the plague restrains. 49 - and they who died in the plague - fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them who died about the word of Qorach. 50 And Aharon returns to Mosheh to the opening of the tent of the congregation: and the plague restrains.
