Numbers 16:8

And Moses said unto Korah
Continued his discourse to him, as the head of the conspiracy, and the ringleader of it:

hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi;

Numbers 16:8 In-Context

6 "Korah, here's what you and all of your followers must do. Get some shallow cups for burning incense.

7 Tomorrow put fire and incense in them. Offer it to the Lord. The man the LORD chooses will be the one who is holy. You Levites have gone too far!"

8 Moses also said to Korah, "Listen, you Levites!

9 The God of Israel has separated you from the rest of the community of Israel. He has brought you near him to work at the LORD's holy tent. He has given you to the people so that you can serve them. Isn't all of that enough for you?

10 He has already brought you and all of the other Levites near him. But now you want to be priests too.
