46. And Moses and Aaron said, “Take the censer, and put fire on it from the altar. Place incense on it, and bring it quickly to the community, and make atonement for them, because wrath went out from the presence of Yahweh, and a plague has begun.”
47. And so Aaron took it just as Moses had spoken, and he ran into the midst of the assembly, for behold, the plague had begun among the people; so he gave the incense and made atonement for the people.
48. He stood between the dead and between the living, and the plague was stopped.
49. Those who died by the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides those who died on account of Korah.
50. Then Aaron returned to Moses at the doorway of the tent of assembly, and the plague was stopped.
