Numbers 16:44 In-Context

42 But it so happened that when the community got together against Moses and Aaron, they looked over at the Tent of Meeting and there was the Cloud - the Glory of God for all to see.
43 Moses and Aaron stood at the front of the Tent of Meeting.
44 God spoke to Moses:
45 "Back away from this congregation so that I can do away with them this very minute." They threw themselves facedown on the ground.
46 Moses said to Aaron, "Take your censer and fill it with incense, along with fire from the Altar. Get to the congregation as fast as you can: make atonement for them. Anger is pouring out from God - the plague has started!"
