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. 04:017:005 And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you. 04:017:006 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods. 04:017:007 And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness.
