Numbers 16:41-46 ▼

41 And on the next day all the congregation of the sons of Israel murmurs against Moses and against Aaron, saying, “You have put the people of YHWH to death.”

42 And it comes to pass, in the congregation being assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they turn toward the Tent of Meeting, and behold, the cloud has covered it and the glory of YHWH is seen;

43 and Moses comes—Aaron also—to the front of the Tent of Meeting.

44 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

45 “Get up from the midst of this congregation, and I consume them in a moment”; and they fall on their faces,

46 and Moses says to Aaron, “Take the censer and put fire on it from off the altar, and place incense, and go quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them, for the wrath has gone out from the presence of YHWH—the plague has begun.”
