Numbers 16:19-26 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

19. Korah gathered all of his followers together at the entrance to the tent. They opposed Moses and Aaron. Then the glory of the Lord appeared to the whole community.

20. The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron. He said,

21. "Separate yourselves from these people. Then I can put an end to all of them at once."

22. But Moses and Aaron fell with their faces to the ground. They cried out, "God, you are the God who creates the spirits of all people. Will you be angry with the whole community when only one man sins?"

23. Then the Lord spoke to Moses. He said,

24. "Tell the community, 'Move away from the tents of Korah, Dathan and Abiram.' "

25. Moses got up. He went to Dathan and Abiram. The elders of Israel followed him.

26. Moses warned the community. He said, "Move away from the tents of those evil men! Don't touch anything that belongs to them. If you do, the Lord will sweep you away because of all of their sins."
