Numbers 16

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 Korah was the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath. Kohath was the son of Levi. Korah and certain men from the tribe of Reuben turned against Moses. The men from Reuben were Dathan, Abiram and On. Dathan and Abiram were the sons of Eliab. On was the son of Peleth.

2 All of those men rose up against Moses. And 250 men of Israel joined them. All of them were known as leaders in the community. They had been appointed as members of the ruling body.

3 They came as a group to oppose Moses and Aaron. They said to Moses and Aaron, "You have gone too far! The whole community is holy. Every one in it is holy. And the LORD is with them. So why do you put yourselves above the LORD's people?"

4 When Moses heard what they said, he fell with his face to the ground.

5 Then he spoke to Korah and all of his followers. He said, "In the morning the LORD will show who belongs to him. He will show who is holy. He'll bring that person near him. He'll bring the man he chooses near him.

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.

11 You and all of your followers have joined together against the Lord. Why are you telling Aaron you aren't happy with him?"

12 Then Moses sent for Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab. But they said, "We won't come!

13 You have brought us up out of a land that has plenty of milk and honey. You have brought us here to kill us in this desert. Isn't that enough? Now do you also want to act as if you were ruling over us?

14 "Besides, you haven't brought us into a land that has plenty of milk and honey. You haven't given us fields and vineyards of our own. Are you going to poke out the eyes of these men? No! We won't come!"

15 Then Moses became very angry. He said to the Lord, "Don't accept their offering. I haven't taken even a donkey from them. In fact, I haven't done anything wrong to any of them."

16 Moses said to Korah, "You and all of your followers must stand in front of the LORD tomorrow. You must appear there along with Aaron.

17 Each man must get his shallow cup. He must put incense in it. There will be a total of 250 incense cups. Each man must bring his cup to the Lord. You and Aaron must also bring your cups."

18 So each man got his cup. He put fire and incense in it. All of the men came with Moses and Aaron. They stood at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

19 Korah gathered all of his followers together at the entrance to the tent. They opposed Moses and Aaron. Then the glory of the LORD appeared to the whole community.

20 The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron. He said,

21 "Separate yourselves from these people. Then I can put an end to all of them at once."

22 But Moses and Aaron fell with their faces to the ground. They cried out, "God, you are the God who creates the spirits of all people. Will you be angry with the whole community when only one man sins?"

23 Then the LORD spoke to Moses. He said,

24 "Tell the community, 'Move away from the tents of Korah, Dathan and Abiram.' "

25 Moses got up. He went to Dathan and Abiram. The elders of Israel followed him.

26 Moses warned the community. He said, "Move away from the tents of those evil men! Don't touch anything that belongs to them. If you do, the LORD will sweep you away because of all of their sins."

27 So they moved away from the tents of Korah, Dathan and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram had already come out. They were standing at the entrances to their tents. Their wives, children and little ones were standing there with them.

28 Then Moses said, "What is about to happen wasn't my idea. The LORD has sent me to do everything I'm doing. Here is how you will know I'm telling you the truth.

29 Those men won't die a natural death. Something will happen to them that doesn't usually happen to people. If what I'm telling you isn't true, then you will know that the LORD hasn't sent me.

30 "But the LORD will make something totally new happen. The ground will open its mouth and swallow them up. It will swallow up everything that belongs to them. They will go down into the grave alive. When that happens, you will know that those men have made fun of the Lord."

31 As soon as Moses finished speaking all of those words, what he had said came true. The ground under them broke open.

32 It opened its mouth. It swallowed up those men. In fact, it swallowed up everyone who lived in their houses. It swallowed all of Korah's men. And it swallowed up everything they owned.

33 They went down into the grave alive. Everything they owned went down with them. The ground closed over them. They died. And so they disappeared from the community.

34 All of the people of Israel who were around them heard their cries. They ran away from them. They shouted, "The ground is going to swallow us up too!"

35 Then the LORD sent down fire. It burned up the 250 men who were offering the incense.

36 The LORD spoke to Moses. He said,

37 "Speak to the priest Eleazar. He is the son of Aaron. Remind him that the shallow cups are holy. He must take them out of the fire. He must scatter the burning coals away from there.

38 The men who sinned used those cups. And it cost them their lives. Hammer the cups into bronze sheets that will cover the altar. The cups were offered to the Lord. They have become holy. Let them serve as a warning to the people of Israel."

39 So the priest Eleazar collected the bronze incense cups. They had been brought by the men who had been burned up. He had them hammered out to cover the altar.

40 He did just as the LORD had directed Moses to tell him to do. The covering would be a reminder to the people of Israel. It would remind them that no one except a son of Aaron should come and burn incense to the Lord. If people other than priests did that, they would become like Korah and his followers.

41 The next day the whole community of Israel told Moses and Aaron they weren't happy with them. "You have killed the LORD's people," they said.

42 The community gathered together to oppose Moses and Aaron. The people walked toward the Tent of Meeting. Suddenly the cloud covered it. The glory of the LORD appeared.

43 Then Moses and Aaron went to the front of the Tent of Meeting.

44 The LORD spoke to Moses. He said,

45 "Get away from these people. Then I can put an end to all of them at once." And Moses and Aaron fell with their faces to the ground.

46 Moses said to Aaron, "Take your incense cup. Put incense in it. And put fire from the altar in it. Then hurry to the people and pay for their sin. The LORD has sent his anger. The plague has started."

47 So Aaron did as Moses said. He ran in among the people. The plague had already started among them. But Aaron offered the incense and paid for their sin.

48 He stood between those who were alive and those who were dead. And the plague stopped.

49 But 14,700 people died from the plague. That doesn't include those who had died because of what Korah did.

50 Then Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. The plague had stopped.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 ecce autem Core filius Isaar filii Caath filii Levi et Dathan atque Abiram filii Heliab Hon quoque filius Pheleth de filiis Ruben

2 surrexerunt contra Mosen aliique filiorum Israhel ducenti quinquaginta viri proceres synagogae et qui tempore concilii per nomina vocabantur

3 cumque stetissent adversum Mosen et Aaron dixerunt sufficiat vobis quia omnis multitudo sanctorum est et in ipsis est Dominus cur elevamini super populum Domini

4 quod cum audisset Moses cecidit pronus in faciem

5 locutusque ad Core et ad omnem multitudinem mane inquit notum faciet Dominus qui ad se pertineant et sanctos adplicabit sibi et quos elegerit adpropinquabunt ei

6 hoc igitur facite tollat unusquisque turibula sua tu Core et omne concilium tuum

7 et hausto cras igne ponite desuper thymiama coram Domino et quemcumque elegerit ipse erit sanctus multum erigimini filii Levi

8 dixitque rursum ad Core audite filii Levi

9 num parum vobis est quod separavit vos Deus Israhel ab omni populo et iunxit sibi ut serviretis ei in cultu tabernaculi et staretis coram frequentia populi et ministraretis ei

10 idcirco ad se fecit accedere te et omnes fratres tuos filios Levi ut vobis etiam sacerdotium vindicetis

11 et omnis globus tuus stet contra Dominum quid est enim Aaron ut murmuretis contra eum

12 misit ergo Moses ut vocaret Dathan et Abiram filios Heliab qui responderunt non venimus

13 numquid parum est tibi quod eduxisti nos de terra quae lacte et melle manabat ut occideres in deserto nisi et dominatus fueris nostri

14 re vera induxisti nos in terram quae fluit rivis lactis et mellis et dedisti nobis possessiones agrorum et vinearum an et oculos nostros vis eruere non venimus

15 iratusque Moses valde ait ad Dominum ne respicias sacrificia eorum tu scis quod ne asellum quidem umquam acceperim ab eis nec adflixerim quempiam eorum

16 dixitque ad Core tu et omnis congregatio tua state seorsum coram Domino et Aaron die crastino separatim

17 tollite singuli turibula vestra et ponite super ea incensum offerentes Domino ducenta quinquaginta turibula Aaron quoque teneat turibulum suum

18 quod cum fecissent stantibus Mosen et Aaron

19 et coacervassent adversum eos omnem multitudinem ad ostium tabernaculi apparuit cunctis gloria Domini

20 locutusque Dominus ad Mosen et Aaron ait

21 separamini de medio congregationis huius ut eos repente disperdam

22 qui ceciderunt proni in faciem atque dixerunt fortissime Deus spirituum universae carnis num uno peccante contra omnes tua ira desaeviet

23 et ait Dominus ad Mosen

24 praecipe universo populo ut separetur a tabernaculis Core et Dathan et Abiram

25 surrexitque Moses et abiit ad Dathan et Abiram et sequentibus eum senioribus Israhel

26 dixit ad turbam recedite a tabernaculis hominum impiorum et nolite tangere quae ad eos pertinent ne involvamini in peccatis eorum

27 cumque recessissent a tentoriis eorum per circuitum Dathan et Abiram egressi stabant in introitu papilionum suorum cum uxoribus et liberis omnique frequentia

28 et ait Moses in hoc scietis quod Dominus miserit me ut facerem universa quae cernitis et non ex proprio ea corde protulerim

29 si consueta hominum morte interierint et visitaverit eos plaga qua et ceteri visitari solent non misit me Dominus

30 sin autem novam rem fecerit Dominus ut aperiens terra os suum degluttiat eos et omnia quae ad illos pertinent descenderintque viventes in infernum scietis quod blasphemaverint Dominum

31 confestim igitur ut cessavit loqui disrupta est terra sub pedibus eorum

32 et aperiens os suum devoravit illos cum tabernaculis suis et universa substantia

33 descenderuntque vivi in infernum operti humo et perierunt de medio multitudinis

34 at vero omnis Israhel qui stabat per gyrum fugit ad clamorem pereuntium dicens ne forte et nos terra degluttiat

35 sed et ignis egressus a Domino interfecit ducentos quinquaginta viros qui offerebant incensum

36 locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens

37 praecipe Eleazaro filio Aaron sacerdotis ut tollat turibula quae iacent in incendio et ignem huc illucque dispergat quoniam sanctificata sunt

38 in mortibus peccatorum producatque ea in lamminas et adfigat altari eo quod oblatum sit in eis incensum Domino et sanctificata sint ut cernant ea pro signo et monumento filii Israhel

39 tulit ergo Eleazar sacerdos turibula aenea in quibus obtulerant hii quos incendium devoravit et produxit ea in lamminas adfigens altari

40 ut haberent postea filii Israhel quibus commonerentur ne quis accedat alienigena et qui non est de semine Aaron ad offerendum incensum Domino ne patiatur sicut passus est Core et omnis congregatio eius loquente Domino ad Mosen

41 murmuravit autem omnis multitudo filiorum Israhel sequenti die contra Mosen et Aaron dicens vos interfecistis populum Domini

42 cumque oreretur seditio et tumultus incresceret

43 Moses et Aaron fugerunt ad tabernaculum foederis quod postquam ingressi sunt operuit nubes et apparuit gloria Domini

44 dixitque Dominus ad Mosen

45 recedite de medio huius multitudinis etiam nunc delebo eos cumque iacerent in terra

46 dixit Moses ad Aaron tolle turibulum et hausto igne de altari mitte incensum desuper pergens cito ad populum ut roges pro eis iam enim egressa est ira a Domino et plaga desaevit

47 quod cum fecisset Aaron et cucurrisset ad mediam multitudinem quam iam vastabat incendium obtulit thymiama

48 et stans inter mortuos ac viventes pro populo deprecatus est et plaga cessavit

49 fuerunt autem qui percussi sunt quattuordecim milia hominum et septingenti absque his qui perierant in seditione Core

50 reversusque est Aaron ad Mosen ad ostium tabernaculi foederis postquam quievit interitus
