And the sons of Izhar; Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri.

And Aaron took him Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Naashon, to wife; and she bare him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men:

And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?

And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD will shew who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him.

And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the LORD to morrow: and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.

Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?

For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?

Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us?

And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.

And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each of you his censer.

And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation.

Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.

So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children.

If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hath not sent me.

And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them:

They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.

And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.

And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up together with Korah, when that company died, what time the fire devoured two hundred and fifty men: and they became a sign.

Notwithstanding the children of Korah died not.

As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:

How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!

LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
