Numbers 16:5-15

5 Then he said to Korah and all his company, "In the morning the Lord will make known who is his, and who is holy, and who will be allowed to approach him; the one whom he will choose he will allow to approach him.
6 Do this: take censers, Korah and all your company,
7 and tomorrow put fire in them, and lay incense on them before the Lord; and the man whom the Lord chooses shall be the holy one. You Levites have gone too far!"
8 Then Moses said to Korah, "Hear now, you Levites!
9 Is it too little for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to allow you to approach him in order to perform the duties of the Lord's tabernacle, and to stand before the congregation and serve them?
10 He has allowed you to approach him, and all your brother Levites with you; yet you seek the priesthood as well!
11 Therefore you and all your company have gathered together against the Lord. What is Aaron that you rail against him?"
12 Moses sent for Dathan and Abiram sons of Eliab; but they said, "We will not come!
13 Is it too little that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey to kill us in the wilderness, that you must also lord it over us?
14 It is clear you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, or given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards. Would you put out the eyes of these men? We will not come!"
15 Moses was very angry and said to the Lord, "Pay no attention to their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them, and I have not harmed any one of them."
