1 of Reuben, took
2 congregation,
7and 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!”
8Then Moses said to Korah, “Hear now, you Levites!
9Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
37“Tell Eleazar son of Aaron the priest to take the censers out of the blaze, then scatter the fire far and wide.
38Num 26.10; Prov 20.2For the censers of these sinners have become holy at the cost of their lives. Make them into hammered plates as a covering for the altar, for they presented them before the Lord and they became holy. Thus they shall be a sign to the Israelites.”
39So Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers that had been presented by those who were burned, and they were hammered out as a covering for the altar—
40Num 3.10; 2 Chr 26.18a reminder to the Israelites that no outsider, who is not of the descendants of Aaron, shall approach to offer incense before the Lord, so as not to become like Korah and his congregation, just as the Lord had said to him through Moses.
41 v 3 On the next day, however, the whole congregation of the Israelites rebelled against Moses and against Aaron, saying, “You have killed the people of the Lord.”
42v 19; Ex 40.34; Num 20.6And when the congregation had assembled against them, Moses and Aaron turned toward the tent of meeting; the cloud had covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.
43Then Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting,
44and the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
45vv 21, 24“Get away from this congregation, so that I may consume them in a moment.” And they fell on their faces.
46Num 8.19; Ps 106.29Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer, put fire on it from the altar and lay incense on it and carry it quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them. For wrath has gone out from the Lord; the plague has begun.”
47Num 25.7, 8, 13So Aaron took it as Moses had ordered and ran into the middle of the assembly, where the plague had already begun among the people. He put on the incense and made atonement for the people.
48Ps 106.30He stood between the dead and the living, and the plague was stopped.
49vv 32, 35Those who died by the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides those who died in the affair of Korah.
50When the plague was stopped, Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
