Numbers 16:13

Verse 13 of 50. The 16th of 36 chapters in Numbers, in The Law.

9Is it a small thing to you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do the service of the LORD’s tabernacle, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them;

10and that he has brought you near, and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you? Do you seek the priesthood also?

11Therefore you and all your company have gathered together against the LORD! What is Aaron that you complain against him?”

12Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said, “We won’t come up!

13Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, but you must also make yourself a prince over us?

14Moreover you haven’t brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you put out the eyes of these men? We won’t come up.”

15Moses was very angry, and said to the LORD, “Don’t respect their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them, neither have I hurt one of them.”

16Moses said to Korah, “You and all your company go before the LORD, you, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow.

17Each man take his censer and put incense on it, and each man bring before the LORD his censer, two hundred fifty censers; you also, and Aaron, each with his censer.”
