1 And Corah the sonne of Iezehar the sonne of Cahath the sonne of Leui, and Dathan & Abiram the sonne of Eliab, and On the sonne of Peleth, the sonne of Ruben:
2 rose vp before Moses, with other men of the children of Israel, two hundred and fiftye, which were captaynes of the multitude great and famous men in the congregacion:
3 & they gathred them selues together agaynst Moses and Aaron, & sayde vnto them: ye make moche to do, seynge all the multitude are holy euery one of them, and the Lorde is amonge them: Why heaue ye your selues vp aboue the congregacyon of the Lorde?
4 And when Moses heard it, he fell vpon his face,
5 and spake vnto Corah and vnto all his company, saying: to morowe the Lorde will shewe who are his, who is holy, & who ought to approch nye vnto him, and whom he hath chosen to come to him.
6 This do therfore, take you fyerpannes, both Corah and all his company
7 and do fyer therin, and put cens in them before the Lorde to morowe. And the man whom the Lorde doth chose, the same shalbe holy. Ye make much to do, ye chyldren of Leui.
8 And Moses sayde vnto Corah: heare ye chyldren of Leui:
9 Is it but a small thinge vnto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the multitude of Israel: and brought you to him selfe, to do the seruyce of the dwelling place of the Lord, and to stande before the multitude, and to minystre vnto him?
10 he hath taken the to him and all thy brethren the sonnes of Leui with the, and seke ye the offyce of the preaste also.
11 For which cause both thou and all thy companye are gathered together against the Lorde? And what is Aaron, that ye murmur agaynst him?
12 And Moses sent, and called Dathan and Abiram the sonnes of Eliab, which sayde: we wyll not come vp.
13 Is it a small thynge, that thou hast brought vs oute of a lande that floweth with mylke and hony, to kyll vs in the wildernes, and to raygne ouer vs also?
14 Hast thou brought vs vnto a lande that floweth with mylke and hony, and geuen vs inheritaunce of feldes and vyneyardes? Wilt thou pull out the eyes of these men? we wyll not come vp.
15 And Moses waxed very angry, & sayde vnto the Lorde. Turne not thou vnto theyr offeryng. I haue not taken so muche as an asse from them, neyther haue I hurte any of them.
16 And Moses sayde vnto Corah: Be thou and all thy company before the Lorde both thou, they, and Aaron tomorowe.
17 And take euery man his censer, and put cens in them, that ye maye offre before the Lorde: euery man of the two hundred and fyftye take his censoure, thou also Aaron, that euery one maye haue his censer.
