16:1

Now Korah
<07141>_,

the son
<01121>

of Izhar
<03324>_,

the son
<01121>

of Kohath
<06955>_,

the son
<01121>

of Levi
<03878>_,

and Dathan
<01885>

and Abiram
<048>_,

the sons
<01121>

of Eliab
<0446>_,

<0203>_,

the son
<01121>

of Peleth
<06431>_,

sons
<01121>

of Reuben
<07205>_,

took
<03947> (8799)

[men]:

16:2

And they rose up
<06965> (8799)

before
<06440>

Moses
<04872>_,

with certain
<0582>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

two hundred
<03967>

and fifty
<02572>

princes
<05387>

of the assembly
<05712>_,

famous
<07148>

in the congregation
<04150>_,

men
<0582>

of renown
<08034>_:

16:3

And they gathered themselves together
<06950> (8735)

against Moses
<04872>

and against Aaron
<0175>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, [Ye take] too much
<07227>

upon you, seeing all the congregation
<05712>

[are] holy
<06918>_,

every one of them, and the LORD
<03068>

[is] among
<08432>

them: wherefore then lift ye up
<05375> (8691)

yourselves above the congregation
<06951>

of the LORD
<03068>_?

{Ye take...: Heb. It is much for you}

16:4

And when Moses
<04872>

heard
<08085> (8799)

[it], he fell
<05307> (8799)

upon his face
<06440>_:

16:5

And he spake
<01696> (8762)

unto Korah
<07141>

and unto all his company
<05712>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Even to morrow
<01242>

the LORD
<03068>

will shew
<03045> (8686)

who [are] his, and [who is] holy
<06918>_;

and will cause [him] to come near
<07126> (8689)

unto him: even [him] whom he hath chosen
<0977> (8799)

will he cause to come near
<07126> (8686)

unto him.

16:6

This do
<06213> (8798)_;

Take
<03947> (8798)

you censers
<04289>_,

Korah
<07141>_,

and all his company
<05712>_;

16:7

And put
<05414> (8798)

fire
<0784>

therein
<02004>_,

and put
<07760> (8798)

incense
<07004>

in them before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

to morrow
<04279>_:

and it shall be [that] the man
<0376>

whom the LORD
<03068>

doth choose
<0977> (8799)_,

he [shall be] holy
<06918>_:

[ye take] too much
<07227>

upon you, ye sons
<01121>

of Levi
<03878>_.

16:8

And Moses
<04872>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Korah
<07141>_,

Hear
<08085> (8798)_,

I pray you, ye sons
<01121>

of Levi
<03878>_:

16:9

[Seemeth it but] a small thing
<04592>

unto you, that the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

hath separated
<0914> (8689)

you from the congregation
<05712>

of Israel
<03478>_,

to bring you near
<07126> (8687)

to himself to do
<05647> (8800)

the service
<05656>

of the tabernacle
<04908>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and to stand
<05975> (8800)

before
<06440>

the congregation
<05712>

to minister
<08334> (8763)

unto them?

16:10

And he hath brought thee near
<07126> (8686)

[to him], and all thy brethren
<0251>

the sons
<01121>

of Levi
<03878>

with thee: and seek
<01245> (8765)

ye the priesthood
<03550>

also?

16:11

For which cause
<03651>

[both] thou and all thy company
<05712>

[are] gathered together
<03259> (8737)

against the LORD
<03068>_:

and what [is] Aaron
<0175>_,

that ye murmur
<03885> (8686) (8675) <03885> (8735)

against him?

16:12

And Moses
<04872>

sent
<07971> (8799)

to call
<07121> (8800)

Dathan
<01885>

and Abiram
<048>_,

the sons
<01121>

of Eliab
<0446>_:

which said
<0559> (8799)_,

We will not come up
<05927> (8799)_:

16:13

[Is it] a small thing
<04592>

that
<03588>

thou hast brought us up
<05927> (8689)

out of a land
<0776>

that floweth
<02100> (8802)

with milk
<02461>

and honey
<01706>_,

to kill
<04191> (8687)

us in the wilderness
<04057>_,

except thou make
<08323> (0)

thyself altogether
<08323> (8692)

a prince
<08323> (8691)

over us?

16:14

Moreover
<0637>

thou hast not brought
<0935> (8689)

us into a land
<0776>

that floweth
<02100> (8802)

with milk
<02461>

and honey
<01706>_,

or given
<05414> (8799)

us inheritance
<05159>

of fields
<07704>

and vineyards
<03754>_:

wilt thou put out
<05365> (8762)

the eyes
<05869>

of these men
<0582>_?

we will not come up
<05927> (8799)_.

{put...: Heb. bore out}

16:15

And Moses
<04872>

was very
<03966>

wroth
<02734> (8799)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

Respect
<06437> (8799)

not thou their offering
<04503>_:

I have not taken
<05375> (8804)

one
<0259>

ass
<02543>

from them, neither have I hurt
<07489> (8689)

one
<0259>

of them.

16:16

And Moses
<04872>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Korah
<07141>_,

Be thou and all thy company
<05712>

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_,

thou, and they, and Aaron
<0175>_,

to morrow
<04279>_:

16:17

And take
<03947> (8798)

every man
<0376>

his censer
<04289>_,

and put
<05414> (8804)

incense
<07004>

in them, and bring
<07126> (8689)

ye before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

every man
<0376>

his censer
<04289>_,

two hundred
<03967>

and fifty
<02572>

censers
<04289>_;

thou also, and Aaron
<0175>_,

each
<0376>

[of you] his censer
<04289>_.

16:18

And they took
<03947> (8799)

every man
<0376>

his censer
<04289>_,

and put
<05414> (8799)

fire
<0784>

in them, and laid
<07760> (8799)

incense
<07004>

thereon, and stood
<05975> (8799)

in the door
<06607>

of the tabernacle
<0168>

of the congregation
<04150>

with Moses
<04872>

and Aaron
<0175>_.

16:19

And Korah
<07141>

gathered
<06950> (8686)

all the congregation
<05712>

against them unto the door
<06607>

of the tabernacle
<0168>

of the congregation
<04150>_:

and the glory
<03519>

of the LORD
<03068>

appeared
<07200> (8735)

unto all the congregation
<05712>_.

16:20

And the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8762)

unto Moses
<04872>

and unto Aaron
<0175>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

16:21

Separate
<0914> (8734)

yourselves from among
<08432>

this congregation
<05712>_,

that I may consume
<03615> (8762)

them in a moment
<07281>_.

16:22

And they fell
<05307> (8799)

upon their faces
<06440>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

O God
<0410>_,

the God
<0430>

of the spirits
<07307>

of all flesh
<01320>_,

shall one
<0259>

man
<0376>

sin
<02398> (8799)_,

and wilt thou be wroth
<07107> (8799)

with all the congregation
<05712>_?

16:23

And the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8762)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

16:24

Speak
<01696> (8761)

unto the congregation
<05712>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Get you up
<05927> (8734)

from about
<05439>

the tabernacle
<04908>

of Korah
<07141>_,

Dathan
<01885>_,

and Abiram
<048>_.

16:25

And Moses
<04872>

rose up
<06965> (8799)

and went
<03212> (8799)

unto Dathan
<01885>

and Abiram
<048>_;

and the elders
<02205>

of Israel
<03478>

followed
<03212> (8799)

him
<0310>_.

16:26

And he spake
<01696> (8762)

unto the congregation
<05712>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Depart
<05493> (8798)_,

I pray you, from the tents
<0168>

of these wicked
<07563>

men
<0582>_,

and touch
<05060> (8799)

nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed
<05595> (8735)

in all their sins
<02403>_.

16:27

So they gat up
<05927> (8735)

from the tabernacle
<04908>

of Korah
<07141>_,

Dathan
<01885>_,

and Abiram
<048>_,

on every side
<05439>_:

and Dathan
<01885>

and Abiram
<048>

came out
<03318> (8804)_,

and stood
<05324> (8737)

in the door
<06607>

of their tents
<0168>_,

and their wives
<0802>_,

and their sons
<01121>_,

and their little children
<02945>_.

16:28

And Moses
<04872>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Hereby ye shall know
<03045> (8799)

that the LORD
<03068>

hath sent
<07971> (8804)

me to do
<06213> (8800)

all these works
<04639>_;

for [I have] not [done them] of mine own mind
<03820>_.

16:29

If these men die
<04191> (8799)

the common death
<04194>

of all men
<0120>_,

or if they be visited
<06485> (8735)

after the visitation
<06486>

of all men
<0120>_;

[then] the LORD
<03068>

hath not sent
<07971> (8804)

me. {the common...: Heb. as every man dieth}

16:30

But if the LORD
<03068>

make
<01254> (8799)

a new thing
<01278>_,

and the earth
<0127>

open
<06475> (8804)

her mouth
<06310>_,

and swallow them up
<01104> (8804)_,

with all that [appertain] unto them, and they go down
<03381> (8804)

quick
<02416>

into the pit
<07585>_;

then ye shall understand
<03045> (8804)

that these men
<0582>

have provoked
<05006> (8765)

the LORD
<03068>_.

{make...: Heb. create a creature}

16:31

And it came to pass, as he had made an end
<03615> (8763)

of speaking
<01696> (8763)

all these words
<01697>_,

that the ground
<0127>

clave asunder
<01234> (8735)

that [was] under them:

16:32

And the earth
<0776>

opened
<06605> (8799)

her mouth
<06310>_,

and swallowed them up
<01104> (8799)_,

and their houses
<01004>_,

and all the men
<0120>

that [appertained] unto Korah
<07141>_,

and all [their] goods
<07399>_.

16:33

They, and all that [appertained] to them, went down
<03381> (8799)

alive
<02416>

into the pit
<07585>_,

and the earth
<0776>

closed
<03680> (8762)

upon them: and they perished
<06> (8799)

from among
<08432>

the congregation
<06951>_.

16:34

And all Israel
<03478>

that [were] round about
<05439>

them fled
<05127> (8804)

at the cry
<06963>

of them: for they said
<0559> (8804)_,

Lest the earth
<0776>

swallow us up
<01104> (8799)

[also].

16:35

And there came out
<03318> (8804)

a fire
<0784>

from the LORD
<03068>_,

and consumed
<0398> (8799)

the two hundred
<03967>

and fifty
<02572>

men
<0376>

that offered
<07126> (8688)

incense
<07004>_.

16:36

And the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8762)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,
