and said, “O God, the God of the spirits of all people,
will you be angry with the whole community when only one man sins?”

16:41 But on the next day the whole community of Israelites murmured against Moses and Aaron, saying, “You have killed the
Lord’s people!”

against Moses and Aaron, they turned toward the tent of meeting – and
the cloud covered it, and the glory of the
Lord appeared.
16:43 Then Moses and Aaron stood before the tent of meeting.
16:44 The Lord spoke to Moses:
16:45 “Get away from this community, so that I can consume them in an instant!” But they threw themselves down with their faces to the ground.
16:46 Then Moses said to Aaron, “Take the censer, put burning coals from the altar in it, place incense on it, and go quickly into the assembly and make atonement for them, for wrath has gone out from the Lord – the plague has begun!”
16:47 So Aaron did as Moses commanded and ran into the middle of the assembly, where the plague was just beginning among the people. So he placed incense on the coals and made atonement for the people.

Joshua 24:15-17
24:15 If you have no desire
to worship
the
Lord, choose today whom you will worship,
whether it be the gods whom your ancestors
worshiped
beyond the Euphrates,
or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living. But I and my family
will worship
the
Lord!”
24:16 The people responded, “Far be it from us to abandon the Lord so we can worship other gods!
24:17 For the Lord our God took us and our fathers out of slavery in the land of Egypt and performed these awesome miracles before our very eyes. He continually protected us as we traveled and when we passed through nations.
