they make them guards upon the quarters of their garments thorowout
their generations, and let them make the guards of ribbons of Iacinth.
And the guard shall be unto you to look upon it, that ye remember all
the commandments of the LORD and do them: that ye seek not a way after
your own hearts and after your own eyes, for to go a whoring after
them: but that ye remember and do all my commandments and be holy unto
your God, for I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land
of Egypt, to be your God. I am the LORD God.
Chapter .xvi.
And Corah the son of Iezehar the son of Cahath the son of Levi: and
Dathan and Abiram the son of Eliab, and On the son of Peleth, the son
of Ruben: stood up before Moses, with other of the children of Israel
two hundred and fifty, heads of the congregation, and councillors, and
men of fame, and they gathered them selves together against Moses and
Aaron and said unto them: ye have done enough. For all the multitude
are holy every one of them, and the LORD is among them. Why therefore
heave ye your selves up above the congregation of the LORD. When Moses
heard it, he fell upon his face and spake unto Corah and unto all his
company saying: tomorrow the LORD will shew who is his and who is holy,
and will take them unto him, and whom soever he hath chosen, he will

and to stond before the people to minister unto them? he hath taken
thee to him and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee, and ye

thy company are gathered together against the LORD: for what is Aaron,
that ye should murmur against him. And Moses sent to call Dathan and
Abiram the sons of Eliab, and they answered: we will not come. Seemeth
it a small thing unto thee that thou hast brought us out of a land that
floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness. But that

unto the LORD: Turn not unto their offerings. I have not taken so much
as an ass from them, neither have vexed any of them. Then Moses said
