Numbers 16:44 In-Context

42 After they had all gathered to protest to Moses and Aaron, they turned toward the Tent and saw that the cloud was covering it and that the dazzling light of the Lord's presence had appeared.
43 Moses and Aaron went and stood in front of the Tent,
44 and the Lord said to Moses,
45 "Move back from these people, and I will destroy them on the spot!" The two of them bowed down with their faces to the ground,
46 and Moses said to Aaron, "Take your fire pan, put live coals from the altar in it, and put some incense on the coals. Then hurry with it to the people and perform the ritual of purification for them. Hurry! The Lord's anger has already broken out and an epidemic has already begun."
