44. And the Lord said to Moses:
45. Get you out from the midst of this multitude, this moment will I destroy them. And as they were lying on the ground,
46. Moses said to Aaron: Take the censer, and putting fire in it from the altar, put incense upon it, and go quickly to the people to pray for them: for already wrath is gone out from the Lord, and the plague rageth.
47. When Aaron had done this, and had run to the midst of the multitude which the burning fire was now destroying, he offered the incense:
48. And standing between the dead and the living, he prayed for the people, and the plague ceased.
49. And the number of them that were slain was fourteen thousand and seven hundred men, besides them that had perished in the sedition of Core.
50. And Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant after the destruction was over.
