Numbers 16:41-50

[41] But on the morrow  all the congregation  of the children  of Israel  murmured  against Moses  and against Aaron,  saying,  Ye have killed  the people  of the LORD.  [42] And it came to pass, when the congregation  was gathered  against Moses  and against Aaron,  that they looked  toward the tabernacle  of the congregation:  and, behold, the cloud  covered  it, and the glory  of the LORD  appeared.  [43] And Moses  and Aaron  came  before  the tabernacle  of the congregation.  [44] And the LORD  spake  unto Moses,  saying,  [45] Get you up  from among  this congregation,  that I may consume  them as in a moment.  And they fell  upon their faces.  [46] And Moses  said  unto Aaron,  Take  a censer,  and put  fire  therein from off  the altar,  and put  on incense,  quickly  unto the congregation,  and make an atonement  for them: for there is wrath  gone out  from the LORD;  the plague  is begun.  [47] And Aaron  took  as Moses  commanded,  and ran  into the midst  of the congregation;  and, behold, the plague  was begun  among the people:  and he put  on incense,  and made an atonement  for the people.  [48] And he stood  between the dead  and the living;  and the plague  was stayed.  [49] Now they that died  in the plague  were fourteen  thousand  and seven  hundred,  beside them that died  about the matter  of Korah.  [50] And Aaron  returned  unto Moses  unto the door  of the tabernacle  of the congregation:  and the plague  was stayed.
