Numbers 16:1

Rebellion Against Moses and Aaron

1 Now ^aKorah the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with ^bDathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, and On the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men;

2 and they rose up before Moses with some of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty leaders of the congregation, ^arepresentatives of the congregation, men of renown.

3 ^aThey gathered together against Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “You¹ take too much upon yourselves, for ^ball the congregation is holy, every one of them, ^cand the Lord is among them. Why then do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the Lord?”

4 So when Moses heard it, he ^afell on his face;

5 and he spoke to Korah and all his company, saying, “Tomorrow morning the Lord will show who is ^aHis and who is ^bholy, and will cause him to ^ccome near to Him. That one whom He chooses He will cause to come near to Him.

6 Do this: Take censers, Korah and all your company;
