Numbers 16:5-9 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

5. Then he spoke to Korah and all of his followers. He said, "In the morning the Lord will show who belongs to him. He will show who is holy. He'll bring that person near him. He'll bring the man he chooses near him.

6. "Korah, here's what you and all of your followers must do. Get some shallow cups for burning incense.

8. Moses also said to Korah, "Listen, you Levites!

9. The God of Israel has separated you from the rest of the community of Israel. He has brought you near him to work at the Lord's holy tent. He has given you to the people so that you can serve them. Isn't all of that enough for you?
