04:016:039 And Eleazar the priest took the brasen
censers, wherewith they
that
were burnt had offered; and they were made broad plates
for
a covering of the altar:
04:016:040 To be a memorial unto the children of Israel,
that no
stranger,
which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to
offer
incense before the lord; that he be not as Korah,
and as
his
company: as the lord said to him by the hand
of Moses.
04:016:041 But on the morrow all the congregation
of the children of
Israel
murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye
have
killed the people of the lord.
04:016:042 And it came to pass, when the congregation
was gathered
against
Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the
tabernacle
of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered
it,
and the glory of the lord appeared.
04:016:043 And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle
of the
congregation.
04:016:044 And the lord spake unto Moses, saying,
04:016:045 Get you up from among this congregation,
that I may consume
them
as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.
04:016:046 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer,
and put fire therein
from
off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto
the
congregation, and make an atonement for them:
for there is
wrath
gone out from the lord; the plague is begun.
04:016:047 And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and
ran into the midst of
the
congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among
the
people:
and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the
people.
04:016:048 And he stood between the dead and the living;
and the plague
was
stayed.
04:016:049 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen
thousand and
seven
hundred, beside them that died about the matter of
Korah.
04:016:050 And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the
door of the tabernacle
of
the congregation: and the plague was stayed.
04:017:001 And the lord spake unto Moses, saying,
04:017:002 Speak unto the children of Israel, and
take of every one of
them
a rod according to the house of their fathers, of all
their
princes according to the house of their fathers twelve
rods:
write thou every man’s name upon his rod.
04:017:003 And thou shalt write Aaron’s name
upon the rod of Levi: for
one
rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers.
04:017:004 And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle
of the
congregation
before the testimony, where I will meet with you.
