Numbers 16:12-18 God's Word Translation (GW)

12. Then Moses sent for Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab. But they said, “We won’t come!

13. Isn’t it enough that you brought us out of a land flowing with milk and honey only to kill us in the desert? Do you also have to order us around?

14. Certainly you haven’t brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey or given us any fields and vineyards to own. Do you think you can still pull the wool over our eyes? We won’t come.”

15. Moses became angry and said to the Lord, “Don’t accept their offering. I haven’t taken anything from them, not even a donkey. And I haven’t mistreated any of them.”

16. Moses said to Korah, “Tomorrow you and all your followers must come into the Lord’s presence. Aaron will also be there with you.

17. Each man will take his incense burner and put incense in it. They will offer all 250 incense burners to the Lord. Then you and Aaron offer your incense burners.”

18. So each man took his incense burner, put burning coals and incense in it, and stood with Moses and Aaron at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
