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!|

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.

48 He stood between the dead and the living, and the plague was stopped.

49 Now 14,700 people died in the plague, in addition to those who died in the event with Korah.
