1 Then took Korah, son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi,––and Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, and On, son of Peleth, sons of Reuben;
2 and rose up before Moses, with certain men of the sons of Israel, two hundred and fifty,––princes of assembly, called to the stated meeting, men of renown;
3 and gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Too much for you, when, all the assembly, are, all of them, holy, and, in the midst of them, is Yahweh,––Wherefore, then, should ye set yourselves up, above the convocation of Yahweh?
4 And, when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face.
5 Then spake he unto Korah, and unto all his assembly, saying, In the morning, will Yahweh make known––who are his, and who is the holy one, and will cause him to come near unto himself,––yea, him whom he shall choose, will he cause to come near unto himself.
6 This, do,––Take to you censers, Korah, and all his assembly;
7 and place therein fire, and put thereon incense, before Yahweh, tomorrow, So shall it be––that, the man whom Yahweh shall choose, he, shall be the holy one. Too much for you, ye sons of Levi!
8 And Moses said unto Korah,––Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi!
9 Is it too small a thing for you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the assembly of Israel, to bring you near unto himself,––to do the laborious work of the habitation of Yahweh, and to stand before the assembly, to wait upon them?
10 But, having brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee, must ye seek, priesthood also?
11 Wherefore, thou and all thine assembly, are conspiring against Yahweh,––But, Aaron, what is he, that ye should murmur against him?
12 Then sent Moses, to call for Dathan and for Abiram, sons of Eliab,––and they said, We will not come up: 13 Was it, a small thing, that thou didst bring us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to put us to death in the desert, but thou must, continue even to lord it, over us? 14 Certainly, not into a land flowing with milk and honey, hast thou brought us, nor given unto us an inheritance of field and vineyard,––The eyes of those men, wilt thou dig out? We will not come up. 15 Then was Moses very angry, and he said unto Yahweh, Do not thou have respect unto their meal–offering. Not one ass, from them, have I taken, neither have I wronged one of them. 16 And Moses said unto Korah, Thou, and all thine assembly, come ye before Yahweh,––thou, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow. 17 And take ye each man his censer, and put thereon incense, then shall ye bring near before Yahweh, each man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers,––and, thou and Aaron, each man his censer.
