1 And Korah son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi, will take, and Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab; and On, son of Peleth, sons of Reuben; 2 And they will rise up before Moses, and men from the sons of Israel, fifty and two hundred chiefs of the assembly, called by appointment, and men of name: 3 And they will gather together against Moses, and against Aaron, and they will say to them, Much to you for all the assembly, all of them are holy, and Jehovah in the midst of them: and wherefore shall be lifted up over the gathering of Jehovah? 4 And Moses will hear, and will fall upon his face: 5 And he will speak to Korah and to all his assembly, saying, The morning Jehovah will make known who is to him, and the holy; and bring near to him: and whom he will choose for him he will bring near to himself. 6 This do ye: take to you censers, Korah and all his assembly: 7 And ye shall give fire in them and put upon them incense, before Jehovah to-morrow: and it was the man whom Jehovah shall choose, he is holy: much to you, ye sons of Levi. 8 And Moses will say to Korah, Hear, now, ye sons of Levi: 9 Is this small for you that the God of Israel separated you from the assembly of Israel to bring you near to him to serve the services of the dwelling of Jehovah, and to stand before the assembly to serve them? 10 He will bring thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and did ye seek also the priesthood? 11 For this thou and all thine assembly being collected together against Jehovah: and Aaron, what is he that ye shall murmur against him? 12 And Moses will send to call for Dathan and for Abiram, sons of Eliab and they will say, We will not come up. 13 Is this small that thou broughtest us up from a land flowing with milk and honey to kill us in the desert, that thou ruling also wilt rule over us? 14 But not to a land flowing with milk and honey didst thou bring us; and wilt thou give to us the inheritance of field and vineyard? the eyes of these men wilt thou bore out? we will not come up.
