Chapter 16 Now Korah, the son of Ishar,
the son of Kohath, the son of Levi,

00:06.640 --> 00:11.160
and Dathan, and of Biram, the sons of
Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth,

00:11.400 --> 00:15.720
sons of Reuben, took men, and they rose up
before Moses with certain of the children

00:15.720 --> 00:19.580
of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes
of the assembly, famous in the

00:19.580 --> 00:21.060
congregation, men of renown.

00:21.520 --> 00:24.600
And they gathered themselves together
against Moses and against Aaron,

00:24.740 --> 00:29.700
and said unto them, Ye take too much upon
you, seeing all the congregation are holy,

00:29.700 --> 00:32.620
every one of them, and the Lord is among
them.

00:32.940 --> 00:36.580
Wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above
the congregation of the Lord.

00:36.700 --> 00:40.560
And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his
face, and he spake unto Korah,

00:40.700 --> 00:44.760
and unto all his company, saying,
Even tomorrow the Lord will show who are

00:44.760 --> 00:49.100
his, and who is holy, and will cause him
to come near unto him.

00:49.560 --> 00:53.360
Even him whom he hath chosen will he cause
to come near unto him.

00:54.020 --> 00:54.880
This do.

00:56.060 --> 01:01.180
Take you censers, Korah, and all his
company, and put fire therein,

01:01.480 --> 01:04.060
and put incense in them before the Lord
to-morrow.

01:04.680 --> 01:08.780
And it shall be that the man whom the Lord
doth choose, he shall be holy.

01:09.600 --> 01:12.380
Ye take too much upon you, ye sons of
Levi.

01:12.640 --> 01:16.740
And Moses said unto Korah, Here I pray
you, ye sons of Levi.

01:17.800 --> 01:22.720
Seemeth it but a small thing unto you,
that the God of Israel hath separated you

01:22.720 --> 01:27.420
from the congregation of Israel,
to bring you near to himself, to do the

01:27.420 --> 01:31.440
service of the tabernacle of the Lord,
and to stand before the congregation to

01:31.440 --> 01:32.320
minister unto them?

01:33.060 --> 01:37.480
And he hath brought thee near to him,
and all thy brethren, the sons of Levi,

01:37.680 --> 01:38.100
with thee.

01:38.460 --> 01:40.480
And seek ye the priesthood also?

01:41.320 --> 01:46.100
For which cause both thou and all thy
company are gathered together against the

01:46.100 --> 01:46.400
Lord?

01:46.620 --> 01:49.620
And what is Aaron, that ye murmur against
him?

01:49.620 --> 01:54.160
And Moses sent to Caldathan and Abiram,
the sons of Eliab, which said,

01:54.240 --> 01:55.260
We will not come up.

01:55.880 --> 02:00.620
Is it a small thing that thou hast brought
us up out of a land that floweth with milk

02:00.620 --> 02:05.540
and honey, to kill us in the wilderness,
except thou make thyself altogether a

02:05.540 --> 02:06.380
prince over us?

02:06.900 --> 02:10.680
Moreover, thou hast not brought us into a
land that floweth with milk and honey,

02:10.900 --> 02:13.680
or given us inheritance of fields and
vineyards?

02:14.320 --> 02:16.260
Wilt thou put out the eyes of these men?

02:16.540 --> 02:17.980
We will not come up.

02:17.980 --> 02:22.760
And Moses was very wroth, and said unto
the Lord, Respect not thou their offering.

02:23.260 --> 02:27.120
I have not taken one ass from them,
neither have I hurt one of them.

02:27.180 --> 02:32.200
And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou in all
thy company before the Lord, thou,

02:32.400 --> 02:34.440
and they, and Aaron to-morrow.

02:35.320 --> 02:38.980
And take every man his censer,
and put incense in them.

02:39.260 --> 02:44.360
And bring ye before the Lord every man his
censer, two hundred and fifty censers,

02:44.360 --> 02:48.240
thou also, and Aaron, each of you his
censer.

02:48.600 --> 02:52.760
And they took every man his censer,
and put fire in them, and laid incense

02:52.760 --> 02:56.760
thereon, and stood in the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation with Moses

02:56.760 --> 02:57.260
and Aaron.

02:57.660 --> 03:01.140
And Korah gathered all the congregation
against them unto the door of the

03:01.140 --> 03:02.320
tabernacle of the congregation.

03:03.020 --> 03:05.820
And the glory of the Lord appeared unto
all the congregation.

03:06.200 --> 03:10.280
And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto
Aaron, saying, Separate yourselves from

03:10.280 --> 03:13.480
among this congregation, that I may
consume them in a moment.

03:13.480 --> 03:18.460
And they fell upon their faces and said,
O God, the God of the spirits of all

03:18.460 --> 03:23.300
flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be
wroth with all the congregation?

03:23.580 --> 03:26.760
And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying, Speak unto the congregation,

03:27.020 --> 03:32.040
saying, Get you up from about the
tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.

03:32.360 --> 03:35.480
And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and
Abiram.

03:35.940 --> 03:37.640
And the elders of Israel followed him.

03:37.760 --> 03:42.120
And he spake unto the congregation,
saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents

03:42.120 --> 03:47.220
of these wicked men, and touch nothing of
theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their

03:47.220 --> 03:47.780
sins.

03:47.980 --> 03:53.320
So they got up from the tabernacle of
Korah, Dathan, and Abiram on every side.

03:53.800 --> 03:58.140
And Dathan and Abiram came out and stood
in the door of their tents, and their

03:58.140 --> 04:00.480
wives, and their sons, and their little
children.

04:01.060 --> 04:06.240
And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that
the Lord hath sent me to do all these

04:06.240 --> 04:09.340
works, for I have not done them of mine
own mind.

04:09.860 --> 04:14.340
If these men die the common death of all
men, or if they be visited after the

04:14.340 --> 04:17.520
visitation of all men, then the Lord hath
not sent me.

04:18.160 --> 04:23.120
But if the Lord make a new thing,
and the earth open her mouth and swallow

04:23.120 --> 04:28.420
them up, with all that appertain unto
them, and they go down quick into the pit,

04:29.240 --> 04:32.860
then ye shall understand that these men
have provoked the Lord.

04:32.860 --> 04:37.340
And it came to pass, as he had made an end
of speaking all these words, that the

04:37.340 --> 04:39.780
ground clave asunder that was under them.

04:40.120 --> 04:43.240
And the earth opened her mouth and
swallowed them up, and their houses,

04:43.480 --> 04:46.720
and all the men that appertained unto
Korah, and all their goods.

04:47.200 --> 04:52.220
They and all that appertained to them went
down alive into the pit, and the earth

04:52.220 --> 04:55.420
closed upon them, and they perished from
among the congregation.

04:56.000 --> 04:59.880
And all Israel that were round about them
fled at the cry of them, for they said,

04:59.960 --> 05:01.740
Lest the earth swallow us up also.

05:01.740 --> 05:05.980
And there came out a fire from the Lord,
and consumed the two hundred and fifty men

05:05.980 --> 05:06.960
that offered incense.

05:07.260 --> 05:11.500
And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying, Speak unto Eleazar the son of

05:11.500 --> 05:16.020
Aaron the priest, that he take up the
censers out of the burning, and scatter

05:16.020 --> 05:18.800
thou the fire yonder, for they are
hallowed.

05:19.400 --> 05:24.280
The censers of these sinners against their
own souls, let them make them broad plates

05:24.280 --> 05:28.900
for a covering of the altar, for they
offered them before the Lord, therefore

05:28.900 --> 05:32.920
they are hallowed, and they shall be a
sign unto the children of Israel.

05:33.160 --> 05:37.800
And Eleazar the priest took the brazen
censers wherewith they that were burnt had

05:37.800 --> 05:42.300
offered, and they were made broad plates
for a covering of the altar, to be a

05:42.300 --> 05:46.640
memorial unto the children of Israel,
that no stranger which is not of the seed

05:46.640 --> 05:51.740
of Aaron come near to offer incense before
the Lord, that he be not as Korah and as

05:51.740 --> 05:54.840
his company, as the Lord said to him by
the hand of Moses.

05:55.560 --> 05:59.300
But on the morrow all the congregation of
the children of Israel murmured against

05:59.300 --> 06:03.160
Moses and against Aaron, saying,
Ye have killed the people of the Lord.

06:03.400 --> 06:07.080
And it came to pass when the congregation
was gathered against Moses and against

06:07.080 --> 06:09.760
Aaron, that they looked toward the
tabernacle of the congregation,

06:10.420 --> 06:14.020
and, behold, the cloud covered it,
and the glory of the Lord appeared.

06:14.540 --> 06:17.760
And Moses and Aaron came before the
tabernacle of the congregation,

06:18.260 --> 06:21.520
and the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying, Get you up from among this

06:21.520 --> 06:24.740
congregation, that I may consume them as
in a moment.

06:25.160 --> 06:29.380
And they fell upon their faces,
and Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer,

06:30.020 --> 06:34.940
and put fire therein from off the altar,
and put on incense, and go quickly unto

06:34.940 --> 06:37.660
the congregation, and make an atonement
for them.

06:38.180 --> 06:40.360
For there is wrath gone out from the Lord.

06:40.940 --> 06:42.520
The plague is begun.

06:42.660 --> 06:46.280
And Aaron took as Moses commanded,
and ran into the midst of the

06:46.280 --> 06:46.660
congregation.

06:47.200 --> 06:50.920
And, behold, the plague was begun among
the people, and he put on incense,

06:51.100 --> 06:52.580
and made an atonement for the people.

06:52.880 --> 06:56.040
And he stood between the dead and the
living, and the plague was stayed.

06:56.600 --> 07:00.240
Now they that died in the plague were
fourteen thousand and seven hundred,

07:00.580 --> 07:02.900
beside them that died about the matter of
Korah.

07:03.360 --> 07:06.680
And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the
door of the tabernacle of the

07:06.680 --> 07:08.680
congregation, and the plague was stayed.
