Numbers 16:11-18 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

11. You and all of your followers have joined together against the Lord. Why are you telling Aaron you aren't happy with him?"

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

13. You have brought us up out of a land that has plenty of milk and honey. You have brought us here to kill us in this desert. Isn't that enough? Now do you also want to act as if you were ruling over us?

14. "Besides, you haven't brought us into a land that has plenty of milk and honey. You haven't given us fields and vineyards of our own. Are you going to poke out the eyes of these men? No! We won't come!"

15. Then Moses became very angry. He said to the Lord, "Don't accept their offering. I haven't taken even a donkey from them. In fact, I haven't done anything wrong to any of them."

16. Moses said to Korah, "You and all of your followers must stand in front of the Lord tomorrow. You must appear there along with Aaron.

17. Each man must get his shallow cup. He must put incense in it. There will be a total of 250 incense cups. Each man must bring his cup to the Lord. You and Aaron must also bring your cups."

18. So each man got his cup. He put fire and incense in it. All of the men came with Moses and Aaron. They stood at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
