14. What’s more, you haven’t brought us into another land flowing with milk and honey. You haven’t given us a new homeland with fields and vineyards. Are you trying to fool these men? We will not come.”
15. Then Moses became very angry and said to the lord, “Do not accept their grain offerings! I have not taken so much as a donkey from them, and I have never hurt a single one of them.”
16. And Moses said to Korah, “You and all your followers must come here tomorrow and present yourselves before the lord. Aaron will also be here.
17. You and each of your 250 followers must prepare an incense burner and put incense on it, so you can all present them before the lord. Aaron will also bring his incense burner.”
18. So each of these men prepared an incense burner, lit the fire, and placed incense on it. Then they all stood at the entrance of the Tabernacle with Moses and Aaron.
19. Meanwhile, Korah had stirred up the entire community against Moses and Aaron, and they all gathered at the Tabernacle entrance. Then the glorious presence of the lord appeared to the whole community,
20. and the lord said to Moses and Aaron,
21. “Get away from all these people so that I may instantly destroy them!”
22. But Moses and Aaron fell face down on the ground. “O God,” they pleaded, “you are the God who gives breath to all creatures. Must you be angry with all the people when only one man sins?”
23. And the lord said to Moses,
24. “Then tell all the people to get away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”
25. So Moses got up and rushed over to the tents of Dathan and Abiram, followed by the elders of Israel.
