And behold, the plague had already begun among the people. And he put on the incense and made atonement for the people. 48And he stood between the dead and the living, and fthe plague was stopped. 49Now those who died in the plague were 14,700, gbesides those who died in the affair of Korah.Numbers 25:9

and those who are for captivity, to captivity.’
