Old TestamentNumbersMurmuring and Plague · 16:41–5016:41 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.16:42 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.16:43 And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.16:44 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,16:45 Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.16:46 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.16:47 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.16:48 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.16:49 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.16:50 And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.
