The People Rebel

1 Then all the congregation raised a loud cry, and the people ^hwept that night. 2 And all the people of Israel ⁱgrumbled against Moses and Aaron. The whole congregation said to them, “Would that we had died in the land of Egypt! Or ^jwould that we had died in this wilderness! 3 Why is the Lord bringing us into this land, to fall by the sword? ^kOur wives and our little ones will become a prey. Would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?” 4 And they said to one another, ^l“Let us choose a leader and ^mgo back to Egypt.”

5 Then ⁿMoses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the people of Israel. 6 ^oAnd Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes 7 and said to all the congregation of the people of Israel, ^p“The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceedingly good land. 8 If ^qthe Lord delights in us, he will bring us into this land and give it to us, ^ra land that flows with milk and honey. 9 Only ^sdo not rebel against the Lord. And ^tdo not fear the people of the land, for ^uthey are bread for us. Their protection is removed from them, and the Lord is with us; do not fear them.” 10 ^vThen all the congregation said to stone them with stones. But ^wthe glory of the Lord appeared at the tent of meeting to all the people of Israel.

Numbers 16:1-35

Korah’s Rebellion

1 Now ^xKorah the son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi, and ^yDathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, and On the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men. 2 And they rose up before Moses, with a number of the people of Israel, 250 chiefs of the congregation, chosen from the assembly, well-known men. 3 ^zThey assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron and said to them, ^aa“You have gone too far! For ^aball in the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the Lord is among them. Why then do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the Lord?” 4 When Moses heard it, ^ache fell on his face, 5 and he said to Korah and all his company, “In the morning the Lord will show ^adwho is his, ^{▼▼Septuagint The Lord knows those who are his} and who is ^afholy, and will bring him near to him. The one ^agwhom he chooses he will ^ahbring near to him. 6 Do this: take ^aicensers, Korah and all his company; 7 put fire in them and put incense on them before the Lord tomorrow, and the man whom the Lord chooses shall be the holy one. ^ajYou have gone too far, sons of Levi!” 8 And Moses said to Korah, “Hear now, you sons of Levi: 9 is it ^aktoo small a thing for you that the God of Israel has ^alseparated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do service in the tabernacle of the Lord and to stand before the congregation to minister to them, 10 and that he has brought you near him, and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you? And would you seek the priesthood also? 11 Therefore it is against the Lord that you and all your company have gathered together. What is ^amAaron that you grumble against him?”

12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, and they said, “We will not come up. 13 Is it ^ana small thing that you have brought us up out of ^aoa land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, that you must also ^apmake yourself a prince over us? 14 Moreover, you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you put out the eyes of these men? We will not come up.” 15 And Moses was very angry and said to the Lord, ^aq“Do not respect their offering. ^arI have not taken one donkey from them, and I have not harmed one of them.”

16 And Moses said to Korah, “Be present, you and all your company, ^asbefore the Lord, you and they, and Aaron, tomorrow. 17 And ^atlet every one of you take his censer and put incense on it, and every one of you bring before the Lord his censer, ^au250 censers; you also, and Aaron, each his censer.” 18 So every man took his censer and put fire in them and laid incense on them and stood at the entrance of the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron. 19 Then Korah assembled all the congregation against them at the entrance of the tent of meeting. ^avAnd the glory of the Lord appeared to all the congregation.

20 And the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 21 ^aw“Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them ^axin a moment.” 22 And they ^ayfell on their faces and said, “O God, ^azthe God of the spirits of all flesh, ^bashall one man sin, and will you be angry with all the congregation?” 23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 24 “Say to the congregation, Get away from the dwelling of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”

25 Then Moses rose and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him. 26 And he spoke to the congregation, saying, ^bb“Depart, please, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be swept away with all their sins.” 27 So they got away from the dwelling of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. And Dathan and Abiram came out and stood ^bcat the door of their tents, together with their wives, their sons, and their little ones. 28 And Moses said, “Hereby you shall know that the Lord has sent me to do all these works, and that it has not been ^bdof my own accord. 29 If these men die as all men die, or if they are visited by the fate of all mankind, ^bethen the Lord has not sent me. 30 But if the Lord creates something new, and ^bfthe ground opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that belongs to them, and they ^bggo down alive into Sheol, then you shall know that these men have despised the Lord.”

31 ^bhAnd as soon as he had finished speaking all these words, the ground under them split apart. 32 And the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households and ^biall the people who belonged to Korah and all their goods. 33 So they and all that belonged to them went down alive into Sheol, and the earth closed over them, and ^bjthey perished from the midst of the assembly. 34 And all Israel who were around them fled at their cry, for they said, “Lest the earth swallow us up!” 35 And ^bkfire came out from the Lord and consumed ^blthe 250 men offering the incense.

Deuteronomy 31:27

27 For I know how rebellious and ^bmstubborn you are. Behold, even today while I am yet alive with you, ^bnyou have been rebellious against the Lord. How much more after my death!

Deuteronomy 32:5-6

5 They have dealt corruptly with him;
they are no longer his children ^bobecause they are blemished;
they are ^bpa crooked and twisted generation.
6 Do you thus repay the Lord,
you foolish and senseless people?
Is not he ^bqyour father, who ^brcreated you,
who ^bsmade you and established you?
