21. ‘Separate yourselves from this assembly so that I can put an end to them at once.’
22. But Moses and Aaron fell face down and cried out, ‘O God, the God who gives breath to all living things, will you be angry with the entire assembly when only one man sins?’
23. Then the Lord said to Moses,
24. ‘Say to the assembly, “Move away from the tents of Korah, Dathan and Abiram.” ’
25. Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him.
26. He warned the assembly, ‘Move back from the tents of these wicked men! Do not touch anything belonging to them, or you will be swept away because of all their sins.’
27. So they moved away from the tents of Korah, Dathan and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram had come out and were standing with their wives, children and little ones at the entrances to their tents.
