Numbers 16
World English Bible Protestant Edition, 2020 stable text
41
But on the next day all the congregation of the children of Israel complained against Moses and against Aaron, saying, “You have killed the LORD’s people!”
42
When the congregation was assembled against Moses and against Aaron, they looked toward the Tent of Meeting. Behold, the cloud covered it, and the LORD’s glory appeared.
43
Moses and Aaron came to the front of the Tent of Meeting.
44
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
45
“Get away from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment!” They fell on their faces.
46
Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer, put fire from the altar in it, lay incense on it, carry it quickly to the congregation, and make atonement for them; for wrath has gone out from the LORD! The plague has begun.”
47
Aaron did as Moses said, and ran into the middle of the assembly. The plague had already begun among the people. He put on the incense, and made atonement for the people.
48
He stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
49
Now those who died by the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, in addition to those who died about the matter of Korah.
50
Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and the plague was stopped.
