Num 16:41
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.Num 16:42
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.Num 16:43
And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.Num 16:44
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,Num 16:45
Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.Num 16:46
And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, 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.Num 16:47
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.Num 16:48
And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.Num 16:49
Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.Num 16:50
And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.
