tion and the Glory of the LORD appeared unto all the Congregation.

20 And the LORD fpake unto Mofes, and unto Aaron, faying,

21 Separate yourselves from among this Congregation, that I may confume them in a Moment.

22 And they fell upon their Faces, and faid, O God, the GoD of the Spirits of all Flesh, fhall one Man fin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the Congregation?

23 And the LORD fpake unto Mofes, faying,

24 Speak unto the Congregation, faying, Get you up from about the Tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. 25 And Mofes rofe up, and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the Elders of Ifrael followed him.

26 And he spake unto the Congregation, faying, Depart, I pray you, from the Tents of thefe wicked Men, and touch nothing of theirs, left ye be confumed in all their Sins.

27 So they gat up from the Tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every Side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the Door of their Tents, and their Wives, and their Sons, and their little Children.

28 And Mofes faid, Hereby ye fhall know that the LORD hath fent me to do all these Works: for I have not done them of mine own Mind.

29 If those Men die the common Death of all Men, or if they be vifited after the Vifitation of all Men; then the LORD hath not fent me.

30 But if the LORD make a new Thing, and the Earth open her Mouth, and fwallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the Pit; then ye fhall understand that thefe Men have provoked the LORD.

31 And it came to pafs as he had made an end of speaking all thefe Words, that the Ground clave afunder, that was under them:

32 And the Earth opened her Mouth, and fwallowed them up, and their Houfes, and all the Men that appertained unto Korah, and all their Goods.

33 They, and all that appertained to them, went down. alive into the Pit, and the Earth clofed upon them: and. they perished from among the Congregation.

34 And all Ifrael that were round about them, fled at the Cry of them for they faid, Left the Earth fwallow us up alfo.

35 And

35 And there came out a Fire from the LORD, and confumed the two hundred and fifty Men that offered Incenfe. 36 And the LORD fpake unto Mofes, faying,

37 Speak unto Eleazar the Son of Aaron the Priest, that he take up the Cenfers out of the burning, and scatter thou the Fire yonder; for they are hallowed,

38 The Cenfers of thefe Sinners against their own Souls, let them make them broad Plates for a Covering of the Altar for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed and they fhall be a Sign unto the Children of Ifrael.

39 And Eleazar the Priest took the brazen Cenfers, wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad Plates for a Covering of the Altar :

40 To be a Memorial unto the Children of Ifrael, that no Stranger, which is not of the Seed of Aaron, come near to offer Incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his Company: as the LORD faid to him by the Hand of Mofes.

41 But on the Morrow all the Congregation of the Children of Ifrael murmured against Mofes and against Aaron, faying, Ye have killed the People of the LORD.

42 And it came to pafs, when the Congregation was gathered against Mofes 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 Mofes and Aaron came before the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

44 And the LORD fpake unto Mofes, faying,

45 Get you up from among this Congregation, that I may confume them as in a Moment: and they fell upon their Faces.

45 And Mofes faid unto Aaron, Take a Cenfer, and put Fire therein from off the Altar, and put on Incense, and go 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 Mofes commanded, and ran into the midst of the Congregation; and behold, the Plague was begun among the People: and he put on Incenfe, 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 feven hundred, befide them that died about the Matter of Korah.

50 And Aaron returned unto Mofes, unto the Door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation: and the Plague was stayed.

7 And Mofes laid up the Rods before the LORD, in the Tabernacle of Witness.

13 Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the Tabernacle of the LORD, fhall die: Shall we be confumed with dying?

28 Aaron's Death.

HEN came the Children of Ifrael, even the whole Congregation, into the Defert of Zin, in the first Month and the People abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.

2 And there was no Water for the Congregation and they gathered themselves together against Moses, and against Aaron.

3 And the People chode with Mofes, and fpake, faying, Would GOD that we had died when our Brethren died before the LORD.

Pal cvi. 13 They foon forgat his Works, they waited not for his Counsel :

14 But LUSTED exceedingly in the Wilderness, and TEMPTED GOD in the Defert.

4 And why have ye brought up the Congregation of the LORD into this Wilderness, that we and our Cattle fhould die there?

5 And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil Place? it is no Place of Seed, or of Figs, or Vines, or of Pomegranates, neither is there any Water to drink.

6 And Mofes and Aaron went from the Prefence of the Afembly, into the Door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and they fell upon their Faces: and the Glory of the LORD appeared unto them.

7 And the LORD fpake unto Mofes, faying,
