1 Korah son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi, arose along with Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth (sons of Reuben);"
2 and they rose up against Moses, with two hundred and fifty men of the sons of Israel, princes of the congregation, of the council, men of renown;
3 They came together to confront Moses and Aaron. They said: "You have gone far enough! Everyone in the whole congregation is holy. the LORD is among them. Why do you set yourselves above the LORD's assembly?"
4 When Moses heard this, he fell on his face.
5 Then he said to Korah and all his followers: "In the morning the LORD will show who belongs to him, who is holy. He will have that person come near him. Only the person the LORD chooses will be allowed to come near him.
6 »Korah, you and all your followers must do this tomorrow: Take incense burners,
7 tomorrow put fire in them and place incense on them before the LORD; the man whom the LORD chooses will be the holy one. You take too much upon yourselves, sons of Levi!"
8 Moses also said to Korah: »Listen, you sons of Levi!
9 Is it a small thing to you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do the service of the LORD's tabernacle, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them;
10 "He brought you and all the other Levites near. But now you demand to be priests.
11 "You and all your followers have joined forces against the LORD! Who is Aaron that you should complain about him?"
12 Then Moses sent for Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab. But they said: "We will not come!
13 "Is it not enough that you brought us out of a land flowing with milk and honey only to kill us in the desert? Do you also have to order us around?
14 Moreover you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you put out the eyes of these men? We will not come up.
15 Moses was very angry, and said to the LORD, "Do not respect their offering: I have not taken one donkey from them, neither have I hurt one of them."
16 And Moses said to Korah, You and all your band are to come before the Lord tomorrow, you and they and Aaron:
17 "Each man will take his incense burner and put incense in it. They will offer all two hundred and fifty incense burners to the LORD. Then you and Aaron offer your incense burners."
