Numbers 16:1-11

Numbers 16:1-11

[1] Now Korah,  the son  of Izhar,  the son  of Kohath,  the son  of Levi,  and Dathan  and Abiram,  the sons  of Eliab,  and On,  the son  of Peleth,  sons  of Reuben,  took  [2] And they rose up  before  Moses,  with certain  of the children  of Israel,  two hundred  and fifty  princes  of the assembly,  famous  in the congregation,  men  of renown:  [3] And they gathered themselves together  against Moses  and against Aaron,  and said  unto them, Ye take too much  upon you, seeing all the congregation  are holy,  every one of them, and the LORD  is among  them: wherefore then lift ye up  yourselves above the congregation  of the LORD?  [4] And when Moses  heard  it, he fell  upon his face:  [5] And he spake  unto Korah  and unto all his company,  saying,  Even to morrow  the LORD  will shew  who are his, and who is holy;  and will cause him to come near  unto him: even him whom he hath chosen  will he cause to come near  unto him. [6] This do;  Take  you censers,  Korah,  and all his company;  [7] And put  fire  therein,  and put  incense  in them before  the LORD  to morrow:  and it shall be that the man  whom the LORD  doth choose,  he shall be holy:  ye take too much  upon you, ye sons  of Levi.  [8] And Moses  said  unto Korah,  Hear,  I pray you, ye sons  of Levi:  [9] Seemeth it but a small thing  unto you, that the God  of Israel  hath separated  you from the congregation  of Israel,  to bring you near  to himself to do  the service  of the tabernacle  of the LORD,  and to stand  before  the congregation  to minister  [10] And he hath brought thee near  to him, and all thy brethren  the sons  of Levi  with thee: and seek  ye the priesthood  [11] For which cause  both thou and all thy company  are gathered together  against the LORD:  and what is Aaron,  that ye murmur  against him?
