KJV

1  Now Korah,⁷¹⁴¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Izhar,³³²⁴ the son¹¹²¹ of Kohath,⁶⁹⁵⁵ the son¹¹²¹ of Levi,³⁸⁷⁸ and Dathan¹⁸⁸⁵ and Abiram,⁴⁸ the sons¹¹²¹ of Eliab,⁴⁴⁶ and On,²⁰³ the son¹¹²¹ of Peleth,⁶⁴³¹ sons¹¹²¹ of Reuben,⁷²⁰⁵ took³⁹⁴⁷ men:

2  And they rose up⁶⁹⁶⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Moses,⁴⁸⁷² with certain³⁷⁶ of the children^{4480 1121} of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fifty²⁵⁷² princes⁵³⁸⁷ of the assembly,⁵⁷¹² famous⁷¹⁴⁸ in the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ men³⁷⁶ of renown:⁸⁰³⁴

3  And they gathered themselves together⁶⁹⁵⁰ against⁵⁹²¹ Moses⁴⁸⁷² and against⁵⁹²¹ Aaron,¹⁷⁵ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Ye take too much⁷²²⁷ upon you, seeing³⁵⁸⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁵⁷¹² are holy,⁶⁹¹⁸ every one³⁶⁰⁵ of them, and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is among⁸⁴³² them: wherefore⁴⁰⁶⁹ then lift ye up yourselves⁵³⁷⁵ above⁵⁹²¹ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of the LORD?³⁰⁶⁸

4  And when Moses⁴⁸⁷² heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ it, he fell⁵³⁰⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ his face:⁶⁴⁴⁰

5  And he spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ Korah⁷¹⁴¹ and unto⁴¹³ all³⁶⁰⁵ his company,⁵⁷¹² saying,⁵⁵⁹ Even tomorrow¹²⁴² the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ will show^{3045 853} who⁸³⁴ are his, and who is holy;⁶⁹¹⁸ and will cause him to come near⁷¹²⁶ unto⁴¹³ him: even him whom⁸³⁴ he hath chosen⁹⁷⁷ will he cause to come near⁷¹²⁶ unto⁴¹³ him.

6  This²⁰⁶³ do;⁶²¹³ Take³⁹⁴⁷ you censers,⁴²⁸⁹ Korah,⁷¹⁴¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ his company;⁵⁷¹²

7  And put⁵⁴¹⁴ fire⁷⁸⁴ therein, and put⁷⁷⁶⁰ incense⁷⁰⁰⁴ in⁵⁹²¹ them before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ tomorrow:⁴²⁷⁹ and it shall be¹⁹⁶¹ that the man³⁷⁶ whom⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ doth choose,⁹⁷⁷ he¹⁹³¹ shall be holy:⁶⁹¹⁸ ye take too much⁷²²⁷ upon you, ye sons¹¹²¹ of Levi.³⁸⁷⁸

8  And Moses⁴⁸⁷² said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Korah,⁷¹⁴¹ Hear,⁸⁰⁸⁵ I pray you,⁴⁹⁹⁴ ye sons¹¹²¹ of Levi:³⁸⁷⁸

9  Seemeth it but a small thing⁴⁵⁹² unto⁴⁴⁸⁰ you, that³⁵⁸⁸ the God⁴³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ hath separated⁹¹⁴ you from the congregation^{4480 5712} of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ to bring you near^{7126 853} to⁴¹³ himself to do^{5647 853} the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the tabernacle⁴⁹⁰⁸ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and to stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the congregation⁵⁷¹² to minister⁸³³⁴ unto them?

10  And he hath brought thee near^{7126 853} to him, and all³⁶⁰⁵ thy brethren²⁵¹ the sons¹¹²¹ of Levi³⁸⁷⁸ with⁸⁵⁴ thee: and seek¹²⁴⁵ ye the priesthood³⁵⁵⁰ also?¹⁵⁷¹

11  For which cause³⁶⁵¹ both thou⁸⁵⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ thy company⁵⁷¹² are gathered together³²⁵⁹ against⁵⁹²¹ the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ and what⁴¹⁰⁰ is Aaron,¹⁷⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ ye murmur³⁸⁸⁵ against⁵⁹²¹ him?

12  And Moses⁴⁸⁷² sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to call⁷¹²¹ Dathan¹⁸⁸⁵ and Abiram,⁴⁸ the sons¹¹²¹ of Eliab:⁴⁴⁶ which said,⁵⁵⁹ We will not³⁸⁰⁸ come up:⁵⁹²⁷

13  Is it a small thing⁴⁵⁹² that³⁵⁸⁸ thou hast brought us up⁵⁹²⁷ out of a land^{4480 776} that floweth²¹⁰⁰ with milk²⁴⁶¹ and honey,¹⁷⁰⁶ to kill⁴¹⁹¹ us in the wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ except³⁵⁸⁸ thou make thyself altogether a prince^{8323 8323 1571} over⁵⁹²¹ us?

14  Moreover⁶³⁷ thou hast not³⁸⁰⁸ brought⁹³⁵ us into⁴¹³ a land⁷⁷⁶ that floweth²¹⁰⁰ with milk²⁴⁶¹ and honey,¹⁷⁰⁶ or given⁵⁴¹⁴ us inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ of fields⁷⁷⁰⁴ and vineyards:³⁷⁵⁴ wilt thou put out⁵³⁶⁵ the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of these¹⁹⁹² men?³⁷⁶ we will not³⁸⁰⁸ come up.⁵⁹²⁷

15  And Moses⁴⁸⁷² was very wroth,^{2734 3966} and said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Respect^{6437 413} not⁴⁰⁸ thou their offering:⁴⁵⁰³ I have not³⁸⁰⁸ taken⁵³⁷⁵ one²⁵⁹ ass²⁵⁴³ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ them, neither³⁸⁰⁸ have I hurt^{7489 853} one²⁵⁹ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ them.

16  And Moses⁴⁸⁷² said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Korah,⁷¹⁴¹ Be¹⁹⁶¹ thou⁸⁵⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ thy company⁵⁷¹² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ thou,⁸⁵⁹ and they,¹⁹⁹² and Aaron,¹⁷⁵ tomorrow:⁴²⁷⁹

17  And take³⁹⁴⁷ every man³⁷⁶ his censer,⁴²⁸⁹ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ incense⁷⁰⁰⁴ in⁵⁹²¹ them, and bring⁷¹²⁶ ye before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ every man³⁷⁶ his censer,⁴²⁸⁹ two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fifty²⁵⁷² censers;⁴²⁸⁹ thou⁸⁵⁹ also, and Aaron,¹⁷⁵ each³⁷⁶ of you his censer.⁴²⁸⁹

18  And they took³⁹⁴⁷ every man³⁷⁶ his censer,⁴²⁸⁹ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ fire⁷⁸⁴ in⁴¹³ them, and laid⁷⁷⁶⁰ incense⁷⁰⁰⁴ thereon,⁴¹³ and stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ in the door⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation⁴¹⁵⁰ with Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Aaron.¹⁷⁵

19  And Korah⁷¹⁴¹ gathered^{6950 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁵⁷¹² against⁵⁹²¹ them unto⁴¹³ the door⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation:⁴¹⁵⁰ and the glory³⁵¹⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ appeared⁷²⁰⁰ unto⁴¹³ all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation.⁵⁷¹²

20  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ Moses⁴⁸⁷² and unto⁴¹³ Aaron,¹⁷⁵ saying,⁵⁵⁹

21  Separate yourselves⁹¹⁴ from among^{4480 8432} this²⁰⁶³ congregation,⁵⁷¹² that I may consume³⁶¹⁵ them in a moment.⁷²⁸¹

22  And they fell⁵³⁰⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ their faces,⁶⁴⁴⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ O God,⁴¹⁰ the God⁴³⁰ of the spirits⁷³⁰⁷ of all³⁶⁰⁵ flesh,¹³²⁰ shall one²⁵⁹ man³⁷⁶ sin,²³⁹⁸ and wilt thou be wroth⁷¹⁰⁷ with⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation?⁵⁷¹²

23  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,⁵⁵⁹

24  Speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ the congregation,⁵⁷¹² saying,⁵⁵⁹ Get you up⁵⁹²⁷ from about^{4480 5439} the tabernacle⁴⁹⁰⁸ of Korah,⁷¹⁴¹ Dathan,¹⁸⁸⁵ and Abiram.⁴⁸

25  And Moses⁴⁸⁷² rose up⁶⁹⁶⁵ and went¹⁹⁸⁰ unto⁴¹³ Dathan¹⁸⁸⁵ and Abiram;⁴⁸ and the elders²²⁰⁵ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ followed^{1980 310} him.

26  And he spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ the congregation,⁵⁷¹² saying,⁵⁵⁹ Depart,⁵⁴⁹³ I pray you,⁴⁹⁹⁴ from^{4480 5921} the tents¹⁶⁸ of these⁴²⁸ wicked⁷⁵⁶³ men,³⁷⁶ and touch⁵⁰⁶⁰ nothing^{408 3605} of theirs, lest⁶⁴³⁵ ye be consumed⁵⁵⁹⁵ in all³⁶⁰⁵ their sins.²⁴⁰³

27  So they got up⁵⁹²⁷ from^{4480 5921} the tabernacle⁴⁹⁰⁸ of Korah,⁷¹⁴¹ Dathan,¹⁸⁸⁵ and Abiram,⁴⁸ on every side:^{4480 5439} and Dathan¹⁸⁸⁵ and Abiram⁴⁸ came out,³³¹⁸ and stood⁵³²⁴ in the door⁶⁶⁰⁷ of their tents,¹⁶⁸ and their wives,⁸⁰² and their sons,¹¹²¹ and their little children.²⁹⁴⁵

28  And Moses⁴⁸⁷² said,⁵⁵⁹ Hereby²⁰⁶³ ye shall know³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath sent⁷⁹⁷¹ me to do^{6213 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ works;⁴⁶³⁹ for³⁵⁸⁸ I have not³⁸⁰⁸ done them of mine own mind.^{4480 3820}

29  If⁵¹⁸ these⁴²⁸ men die⁴¹⁹¹ the common death⁴¹⁹⁴ of all³⁶⁰⁵ men,¹²⁰ or if they be visited⁶⁴⁸⁵ after⁵⁹²¹ the visitation⁶⁴⁸⁶ of all³⁶⁰⁵ men;¹²⁰ then the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath not³⁸⁰⁸ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ me.

30  But if⁵¹⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ make¹²⁵⁴ a new thing,¹²⁷⁸ and the earth¹²⁷ open^{6475 853} her mouth,⁶³¹⁰ and swallow them up,^{1104 853} with all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ appertain unto them, and they go down³³⁸¹ quick²⁴¹⁶ into the pit;⁷⁵⁸⁵ then ye shall understand³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ these⁴²⁸ men³⁷⁶ have provoked^{5006 853} the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

31  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ as he had made an end³⁶¹⁵ of speaking^{1696 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ words,¹⁶⁹⁷ that the ground¹²⁷ cleaved asunder¹²³⁴ that⁸³⁴ was under⁸⁴⁷⁸ them:

32  And the earth⁷⁷⁶ opened^{6605 853} her mouth,⁶³¹⁰ and swallowed them up,^{1104 853} and their houses,¹⁰⁰⁴ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the men¹²⁰ that⁸³⁴ appertained unto Korah,⁷¹⁴¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ their goods.⁷³⁹⁹

33  They,¹⁹⁹² and all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ appertained to them, went down³³⁸¹ alive²⁴¹⁶ into the pit,⁷⁵⁸⁵ and the earth⁷⁷⁶ closed³⁶⁸⁰ upon⁵⁹²¹ them: and they perished⁶ from among^{4480 8432} the congregation.⁶⁹⁵¹

34  And all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ that⁸³⁴ were round about⁵⁴³⁹ them fled⁵¹²⁷ at the cry⁶⁹⁶³ of them: for³⁵⁸⁸ they said,⁵⁵⁹ Lest⁶⁴³⁵ the earth⁷⁷⁶ swallow us up¹¹⁰⁴ also.

35  And there came out³³¹⁸ a fire⁷⁸⁴ from^{4480 854} the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and consumed³⁹⁸ the ⁸⁵³ two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fifty²⁵⁷² men³⁷⁶ that offered⁷¹²⁶ incense.⁷⁰⁰⁴

36  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,⁵⁵⁹

37  Speak⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Aaron¹⁷⁵ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ that he take up^{7311 853} the censers⁴²⁸⁹ out of^{4480 996} the burning,⁸³¹⁶ and scatter²²¹⁹ thou the fire⁷⁸⁴ yonder;¹⁹⁷³ for³⁵⁸⁸ they are hallowed.⁶⁹⁴²

38  ⁸⁵³ The censers⁴²⁸⁹ of these⁴²⁸ sinners²⁴⁰⁰ against their own souls,⁵³¹⁵ let them make^{6213 853} them broad⁷⁵⁵⁵ plates⁶³⁴¹ for a covering⁶⁸²⁶ of the altar:⁴¹⁹⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ they offered⁷¹²⁶ them before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ therefore they are hallowed:⁶⁹⁴² and they shall be¹⁹⁶¹ a sign²²⁶ unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

39  And Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ took^{3947 853} the brazen⁵¹⁷⁸ censers,⁴²⁸⁹ wherewith⁸³⁴ they that were burnt⁸³¹³ had offered;⁷¹²⁶ and they were made broad⁷⁵⁵⁴ plates for a covering⁶⁸²⁶ of the altar:⁴¹⁹⁶

40  To be a memorial²¹⁴⁶ unto the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ that^{4616 834} no³⁸⁰⁸ stranger,^{376 2114} which¹⁹³¹ is not³⁸⁰⁸ of the seed^{4480 2233} of Aaron,¹⁷⁵ come near⁷¹²⁶ to offer⁶⁹⁹⁹ incense⁷⁰⁰⁴ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ that he be¹⁹⁶¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ as Korah,⁷¹⁴¹ and as his company:⁵⁷¹² as⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said¹⁶⁹⁶ to him by the hand³⁰²⁷ of Moses.⁴⁸⁷²

41  But on the morrow^{4480 4283} all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁵⁷¹² of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ murmured³⁸⁸⁵ against⁵⁹²¹ Moses⁴⁸⁷² and against⁵⁹²¹ Aaron,¹⁷⁵ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Ye⁸⁵⁹ have killed^{4191 853} the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

42  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when the congregation⁵⁷¹² was gathered⁶⁹⁵⁰ against⁵⁹²¹ Moses⁴⁸⁷² and against⁵⁹²¹ Aaron,¹⁷⁵ that they looked⁶⁴³⁷ toward⁴¹³ the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation:⁴¹⁵⁰ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the cloud⁶⁰⁵¹ covered³⁶⁸⁰ it, and the glory³⁵¹⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ appeared.⁷²⁰⁰

43  And Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Aaron¹⁷⁵ came⁹³⁵ before^{413 6440} the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation.⁴¹⁵⁰

44  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ Moses,⁴⁸⁷² saying,⁵⁵⁹

45  Get you up⁷⁴²⁶ from among^{4480 8432} this²⁰⁶³ congregation,⁵⁷¹² that I may consume³⁶¹⁵ them as in a moment.⁷²⁸¹ And they fell⁵³⁰⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ their faces.⁶⁴⁴⁰

46  And Moses⁴⁸⁷² said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Aaron,¹⁷⁵ Take^{3947 853} a censer,⁴²⁸⁹ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ fire⁷⁸⁴ therein⁵⁹²¹ from off^{4480 5921} the altar,⁴¹⁹⁶ and put on⁷⁷⁶⁰ incense,⁷⁰⁰⁴ and go¹⁹⁸⁰ quickly⁴¹²⁰ unto⁴¹³ the congregation,⁵⁷¹² and make an atonement³⁷²² for⁵⁹²¹ them: for³⁵⁸⁸ there is wrath⁷¹¹⁰ gone out³³¹⁸ from^{4480 6440} the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ the plague⁵⁰⁶³ is begun.²⁴⁹⁰

47  And Aaron¹⁷⁵ took³⁹⁴⁷ as⁸³⁴ Moses⁴⁸⁷² commanded,¹⁶⁹⁶ and ran⁷³²³ into⁴¹³ the midst⁸⁴³² of the congregation;⁶⁹⁵¹ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the plague⁵⁰⁶³ was begun²⁴⁹⁰ among the people:⁵⁹⁷¹ and he put on^{5414 853} incense,⁷⁰⁰⁴ and made an atonement³⁷²² for⁵⁹²¹ the people.⁵⁹⁷¹

48  And he stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ between⁹⁹⁶ the dead⁴¹⁹¹ and the living;²⁴¹⁶ and the plague⁴⁰⁴⁶ was stayed.⁶¹¹³

49  Now they that died⁴¹⁹¹ in the plague⁴⁰⁴⁶ were¹⁹⁶¹ fourteen^{702 6240} thousand⁵⁰⁵ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ hundred,³⁹⁶⁷ beside^{4480 905} them that died⁴¹⁹¹ about⁵⁹²¹ the matter¹⁶⁹⁷ of Korah.⁷¹⁴¹

50  And Aaron¹⁷⁵ returned⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ Moses⁴⁸⁷² unto⁴¹³ the door⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation:⁴¹⁵⁰ and the plague⁴⁰⁴⁶ was stayed.⁶¹¹³

1 καὶ ἐλάλησεν Κορε υἱὸς Ισσααρ υἱοῦ Κααθ υἱοῦ Λευι καὶ Δαθαν καὶ Αβιρων υἱοὶ Ελιαβ καὶ Αυν υἱὸς Φαλεθ υἱοῦ Ρουβην

2 καὶ ἀνέστησαν ἔναντι Μωυσῆ καὶ ἄνδρες τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ πεντήκοντα καὶ διακόσιοι ἀρχηγοὶ συναγωγῆς σύγκλητοι βουλῆς καὶ ἄνδρες ὀνομαστοί

3 συνέστησαν ἐπὶ Μωυσῆν καὶ Ααρων καὶ εἶπαν ἐχέτω ὑμῖν ὅτι πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ πάντες ἅγιοι καὶ ἐν αὐτοῖς κύριος καὶ διὰ τί κατανίστασθε ἐπὶ τὴν συναγωγὴν κυρίου

4 καὶ ἀκούσας Μωυσῆς ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον

5 καὶ ἐλάλησεν πρὸς Κορε καὶ πρὸς πᾶσαν αὐτοῦ τὴν συναγωγὴν λέγων ἐπέσκεπται καὶ ἔγνω ὁ θεὸς τοὺς ὄντας αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς ἁγίους καὶ προσηγάγετο πρὸς ἑαυτόν καὶ οὓς ἐξελέξατο ἑαυτῷ προσηγάγετο πρὸς ἑαυτόν

6 τοῦτο ποιήσατε λάβετε ὑμῖν αὐτοῖς πυρεῖα Κορε καὶ πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ αὐτοῦ

7 καὶ ἐπίθετε ἐπ᾽ αὐτὰ πῦρ καὶ ἐπίθετε ἐπ᾽ αὐτὰ θυμίαμα ἔναντι κυρίου αὔριον καὶ ἔσται ὁ ἀνήρ ὃν ἂν ἐκλέξηται κύριος οὗτος ἅγιος ἱκανούσθω ὑμῖν υἱοὶ Λευι

8 καὶ εἶπεν Μωυσῆς πρὸς Κορε εἰσακούσατέ μου υἱοὶ Λευι

9 μὴ μικρόν ἐστιν τοῦτο ὑμῖν ὅτι διέστειλεν ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ ὑμᾶς ἐκ συναγωγῆς Ισραηλ καὶ προσηγάγετο ὑμᾶς πρὸς ἑαυτὸν λειτουργεῖν τὰς λειτουργίας τῆς σκηνῆς κυρίου καὶ παρίστασθαι ἔναντι τῆς συναγωγῆς λατρεύειν αὐτοῖς

10 καὶ προσηγάγετό σε καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου υἱοὺς Λευι μετὰ σοῦ καὶ ζητεῖτε ἱερατεύειν

11 οὕτως σὺ καὶ πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγή σου ἡ συνηθροισμένη πρὸς τὸν θεόν καὶ Ααρων τίς ἐστιν ὅτι διαγογγύζετε κατ᾽ αὐτοῦ

12 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Μωυσῆς καλέσαι Δαθαν καὶ Αβιρων υἱοὺς Ελιαβ καὶ εἶπαν οὐκ ἀναβαίνομεν

13 μὴ μικρὸν τοῦτο ὅτι ἀνήγαγες ἡμᾶς ἐκ γῆς ῥεούσης γάλα καὶ μέλι ἀποκτεῖναι ἡμᾶς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ὅτι κατάρχεις ἡμῶν ἄρχων

14 εἰ καὶ εἰς γῆν ῥέουσαν γάλα καὶ μέλι εἰσήγαγες ἡμᾶς καὶ ἔδωκας ἡμῖν κλῆρον ἀγροῦ καὶ ἀμπελῶνας τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐκείνων ἂν ἐξέκοψας οὐκ ἀναβαίνομεν

15 καὶ ἐβαρυθύμησεν Μωυσῆς σφόδρα καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς κύριον μὴ προσχῇς εἰς τὴν θυσίαν αὐτῶν οὐκ ἐπιθύμημα οὐδενὸς αὐτῶν εἴληφα οὐδὲ ἐκάκωσα οὐδένα αὐτῶν

16 καὶ εἶπεν Μωυσῆς πρὸς Κορε ἁγίασον τὴν συναγωγήν σου καὶ γίνεσθε ἕτοιμοι ἔναντι κυρίου σὺ καὶ αὐτοὶ καὶ Ααρων αὔριον

17 καὶ λάβετε ἕκαστος τὸ πυρεῖον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπιθήσετε ἐπ᾽ αὐτὰ θυμίαμα καὶ προσάξετε ἔναντι κυρίου ἕκαστος τὸ πυρεῖον αὐτοῦ πεντήκοντα καὶ διακόσια πυρεῖα καὶ σὺ καὶ Ααρων ἕκαστος τὸ πυρεῖον αὐτοῦ

18 καὶ ἔλαβεν ἕκαστος τὸ πυρεῖον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπέθηκαν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὰ πῦρ καὶ ἐπέβαλον ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸ θυμίαμα καὶ ἔστησαν παρὰ τὰς θύρας τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου Μωυσῆς καὶ Ααρων

19 καὶ ἐπισυνέστησεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς Κορε τὴν πᾶσαν αὐτοῦ συναγωγὴν παρὰ τὴν θύραν τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου καὶ ὤφθη ἡ δόξα κυρίου πάσῃ τῇ συναγωγῇ

20 καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ Ααρων λέγων

21 ἀποσχίσθητε ἐκ μέσου τῆς συναγωγῆς ταύτης καὶ ἐξαναλώσω αὐτοὺς εἰς ἅπαξ

22 καὶ ἔπεσαν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν καὶ εἶπαν θεὸς θεὸς τῶν πνευμάτων καὶ πάσης σαρκός εἰ ἄνθρωπος εἷς ἥμαρτεν ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν συναγωγὴν ὀργὴ κυρίου

23 καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων

24 λάλησον τῇ συναγωγῇ λέγων ἀναχωρήσατε κύκλῳ ἀπὸ τῆς συναγωγῆς Κορε

25 καὶ ἀνέστη Μωυσῆς καὶ ἐπορεύθη πρὸς Δαθαν καὶ Αβιρων καὶ συνεπορεύθησαν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ πάντες οἱ πρεσβύτεροι Ισραηλ

26 καὶ ἐλάλησεν πρὸς τὴν συναγωγὴν λέγων ἀποσχίσθητε ἀπὸ τῶν σκηνῶν τῶν ἀνθρώπων τῶν σκληρῶν τούτων καὶ μὴ ἅπτεσθε ἀπὸ πάντων ὧν ἐστιν αὐτοῖς μὴ συναπόλησθε ἐν πάσῃ τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ αὐτῶν

27 καὶ ἀπέστησαν ἀπὸ τῆς σκηνῆς Κορε κύκλῳ καὶ Δαθαν καὶ Αβιρων ἐξῆλθον καὶ εἱστήκεισαν παρὰ τὰς θύρας τῶν σκηνῶν αὐτῶν καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν καὶ ἡ ἀποσκευὴ αὐτῶν

28 καὶ εἶπεν Μωυσῆς ἐν τούτῳ γνώσεσθε ὅτι κύριος ἀπέστειλέν με ποιῆσαι πάντα τὰ ἔργα ταῦτα ὅτι οὐκ ἀπ᾽ ἐμαυτοῦ

29 εἰ κατὰ θάνατον πάντων ἀνθρώπων ἀποθανοῦνται οὗτοι εἰ καὶ κατ᾽ ἐπίσκεψιν πάντων ἀνθρώπων ἐπισκοπὴ ἔσται αὐτῶν οὐχὶ κύριος ἀπέσταλκέν με

30 ἀλλ᾽ ἢ ἐν φάσματι δείξει κύριος καὶ ἀνοίξασα ἡ γῆ τὸ στόμα αὐτῆς καταπίεται αὐτοὺς καὶ τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς σκηνὰς αὐτῶν καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐστὶν αὐτοῖς καὶ καταβήσονται ζῶντες εἰς ᾅδου καὶ γνώσεσθε ὅτι παρώξυναν οἱ ἄνθρωποι οὗτοι τὸν κύριον

31 ὡς δὲ ἐπαύσατο λαλῶν πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους ἐρράγη ἡ γῆ ὑποκάτω αὐτῶν

32 καὶ ἠνοίχθη ἡ γῆ καὶ κατέπιεν αὐτοὺς καὶ τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τοὺς ὄντας μετὰ Κορε καὶ τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν

33 καὶ κατέβησαν αὐτοὶ καὶ ὅσα ἐστὶν αὐτῶν ζῶντα εἰς ᾅδου καὶ ἐκάλυψεν αὐτοὺς ἡ γῆ καὶ ἀπώλοντο ἐκ μέσου τῆς συναγωγῆς

34 καὶ πᾶς Ισραηλ οἱ κύκλῳ αὐτῶν ἔφυγον ἀπὸ τῆς φωνῆς αὐτῶν ὅτι λέγοντες μήποτε καταπίῃ ἡμᾶς ἡ γῆ

35 καὶ πῦρ ἐξῆλθεν παρὰ κυρίου καὶ κατέφαγεν τοὺς πεντήκοντα καὶ διακοσίους ἄνδρας τοὺς προσφέροντας τὸ θυμίαμα

Vul

1 Ecce autem Core filius Isaar, filii Caath, filii Levi, et Dathan atque Abiron filii Eliab, Hon quoque filius Pheleth de filiis Ruben,

2 surrexerunt contra Moysen, aliique filiorum Israël ducenti quinquaginta viri proceres synagogæ, et qui tempore concilii per nomina vocabantur.

3 Cumque stetissent adversum Moysen et Aaron, dixerunt: Sufficiat vobis, quia omnis multitudo sanctorum est, et in ipsis est Dominus: cur elevamini super populum Domini?

4 Quod cum audisset Moyses, cecidit pronus in faciem:

5 locutusque ad Core et ad omnem multitudinem: Mane, inquit, notum faciet Dominus qui ad se pertineant, et sanctos applicabit sibi: et quos elegerit, appropinquabunt ei.

6 Hoc igitur facite: tollat unusquisque thuribula sua, tu Core, et omne concilium tuum:

7 et hausto cras igne, ponite desuper thymiama coram Domino: et quemcumque elegerit, ipse erit sanctus: multum erigimini filii Levi.

8 Dixitque rursum ad Core: Audite, filii Levi:

9 num parum vobis est quod separavit vos Deus Israël ab omni populo, et junxit sibi, ut serviretis ei in cultu tabernaculi, et staretis coram frequentia populi, et ministraretis ei?

10 idcirco ad se fecit accedere te et omnes fratres tuos filios Levi, ut vobis etiam sacerdotium vindicetis,

11 et omnis globus tuus stet contra Dominum? quid est enim Aaron ut murmuretis contra eum?

12 Misit ergo Moyses ut vocaret Dathan et Abiron filios Eliab. Qui responderunt: Non venimus.

13 Numquid parum est tibi quod eduxisti nos de terra, quæ lacte et melle manabat, ut occideres in deserto, nisi et dominatus fueris nostri?

14 Revera induxisti nos in terram, quæ fluit rivis lactis et mellis, et dedisti nobis possessiones agrorum et vinearum: an et oculos nostros vis eruere? non venimus.

15 Iratusque Moyses valde, ait ad Dominum: Ne respicias sacrificia eorum: tu scis quod ne asellum quidem umquam acceperim ab eis, nec afflixerim quempiam eorum.

16 Dixitque ad Core: Tu, et omnis congregatio tua, state seorsum coram Domino, et Aaron die crastino separatim.

17 Tollite singuli thuribula vestra, et ponite super ea incensum, offerentes Domino ducenta quinquaginta thuribula: Aaron quoque teneat thuribulum suum.

18 Quod cum fecissent, stantibus Moyses et Aaron,

19 et coacervassent adversum eos omnem multitudinem ad ostium tabernaculi, apparuit cunctis gloria Domini.

20 Locutusque Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron, ait:

21 Separamini de medio congregationis hujus, ut eos repente disperdam.

22 Qui ceciderunt proni in faciem, atque dixerunt: Fortissime Deus spirituum universæ carnis, num uno peccante, contra omnes ira tua desæviet?

23 Et ait Dominus ad Moysen:

24 Præcipe universo populo ut separetur a tabernaculis Core et Dathan et Abiron.

25 Surrexitque Moyses, et abiit ad Dathan et Abiron: et sequentibus eum senioribus Israël,

26 dixit ad turbam: Recedite a tabernaculis hominum impiorum, et nolite tangere quæ ad eos pertinent, ne involvamini in peccatis eorum.

27 Cumque recessissent a tentoriis eorum per circuitum, Dathan et Abiron egressi stabant in introitu papilionum suorum cum uxoribus et liberis, omnique frequentia.

28 Et ait Moyses: In hoc scietis quod Dominus miserit me ut facerem universa quæ cernitis, et non ex proprio ea corde protulerim:

29 si consueta hominum morte interierint, et visitaverit eos plaga, qua et ceteri visitari solent, non misit me Dominus:

30 sin autem novam rem fecerit Dominus, ut aperiens terra os suum deglutiat eos et omnia quæ ad illos pertinent, descenderintque viventes in infernum, scietis quod blasphemaverint Dominum.

31 Confestim igitur ut cessavit loqui, dirupta est terra sub pedibus eorum:

32 et aperiens os suum, devoravit illos cum tabernaculis suis et universa substantia eorum,

33 descenderuntque vivi in infernum operti humo, et perierunt de medio multitudinis.

34 At vero omnis Israël, qui stabat per gyrum, fugit ad clamorem pereuntium, dicens: Ne forte et nos terra deglutiat.

35 Sed et ignis egressus a Domino interfecit ducentos quinquaginta viros, qui offerebant incensum.

36 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:

37 Præcipe Eleazaro filio Aaron sacerdoti ut tollat thuribula quæ jacent in incendio, et ignem huc illucque dispergat: quoniam sanctificata sunt

38 in mortibus peccatorum: producatque ea in laminas, et affigat altari, eo quod oblatum sit in eis incensum Domino, et sanctificata sint, ut cernant ea pro signo et monimento filii Israël.

39 Tulit ergo Eleazar sacerdos thuribula ænea, in quibus obtulerant hi quos incendium devoravit, et produxit ea in laminas, affigens altari:

40 ut haberent postea filii Israël, quibus commonerentur ne quis accedat alienigena, et qui non est de semine Aaron ad offerendum incensum Domino, ne patiatur sicut passus est Core, et omnis congregatio ejus, loquente Domino ad Moysen.

41 Murmuravit autem omnis multitudo filiorum Israël sequenti die contra Moysen et Aaron, dicens: Vos interfecistis populum Domini.

42 Cumque oriretur seditio, et tumultus incresceret,

43 Moyses et Aaron fugerunt ad tabernaculum fœderis. Quod, postquam ingressi sunt, operuit nubes, et apparuit gloria Domini.

44 Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen:

45 Recedite de medio hujus multitudinis, etiam nunc delebo eos. Cumque jacerent in terra,

46 dixit Moyses ad Aaron: Tolle thuribulum, et hausto igne de altari, mitte incensum desuper, pergens cito ad populum, ut roges pro eis: jam enim egressa est ira a Domino, et plaga desævit.

47 Quod cum fecisset Aaron, et cucurrisset ad mediam multitudinem, quam jam vastabat incendium, obtulit thymiama:

48 et stans inter mortuos ac viventes, pro populo deprecatus est, et plaga cessavit.

49 Fuerunt autem qui percussi sunt, quatuordecim millia hominum, et septingenti, absque his qui perierant in seditione Core.

50 Reversusque est Aaron ad Moysen ad ostium tabernaculi fœderis postquam quievit interitus.
