11. It is therefore against the Lord that you and all your faction are conspiring. As for Aaron, what has he done that you should grumble against him?”
12. Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, but they answered, “We will not go.
13. Are you not satisfied that you have brought us here from a land flowing with milk and honey to have us perish in the wilderness, that now you must also lord it over us?
14. Far from bringing us to a land flowing with milk and honey, or giving us fields and vineyards for our inheritance, will you gouge out our eyes? No, we will not go.”
15. Then Moses became very angry and said to the Lord, “Pay no attention to their offering. I have never taken a single donkey from them, nor have I wronged any one of them.”
16. Moses said to Korah, “You and all your faction shall appear before the Lord tomorrow—you and they and Aaron too.
17. Then each of you take his own censer, put incense in it, and present it before the Lord, two hundred and fifty censers; and you and Aaron, each with his own censer, do the same.”
18. So each of them took their censers, and laying incense on the fire they had put in them, they took their stand by the entrance of the tent of meeting along with Moses and Aaron.
19. Then, when Korah had assembled all the community against them at the entrance of the tent of meeting, the glory of the Lord appeared to the entire community,
20. and the Lord said to Moses and Aaron:
21. Stand apart from this community, that I may consume them at once.
22. But they fell prostrate and exclaimed, “O God, God of the spirits of all living creatures, if one man sins will you be angry with the whole community?”
23. The Lord answered Moses:
24. Speak to the community and tell them: Withdraw from the area around the tent of Korah, Dathan and Abiram.
