Bamidbar 16:20-29 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

20. And Hashem spoke unto Moshe and unto Aharon, saying,

21. Separate yourselves from among this edah, that I may consume them in a moment.

22. And they fell upon their faces, and said, El Elohei HaRuchot L'Chol Basar, shall one man sin, and wilt Thou be angry with Kol HaEdah?

23. And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

24. Speak unto HaEdah, saying, Get you up away from the mishkan Korach, Datan, and Aviram.

25. And Moshe rose up and went unto Datan and Aviram; and the Ziknei Yisroel followed him.

26. And he spoke unto HaEdah, saying, Move back, now, from the tents of these anashim resha'im, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their chattot.

27. So they moved back from the mishkan Korach, Datan, and Aviram, on every side; Datan and Aviram came out, and stood in the entrance of their tents, their wives, their banim, and their little ones.

28. And Moshe said, Hereby ye shall know that Hashem hath sent me to do all these ma'asim; for I have not done them of mine own will.

29. If these men die the common death of kol haAdam, or if they be visited after the visitation of kol haAdam, then Hashem hath not sent me.
