Numbers 16:44-49 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

44. The Lord spoke to Moses. He said,

45. "Get away from these people. Then I can put an end to all of them at once." And Moses and Aaron fell with their faces to the ground.

46. Moses said to Aaron, "Take your incense cup. Put incense in it. And put fire from the altar in it. Then hurry to the people and pay for their sin. The Lord has sent his anger. The plague has started."

47. So Aaron did as Moses said. He ran in among the people. The plague had already started among them. But Aaron offered the incense and paid for their sin.

48. He stood between those who were alive and those who were dead. And the plague stopped.

49. But 14,700 people died from the plague. That doesn't include those who had died because of what Korah did.
