and that you not follow after your own heart and your own eyes,
after which you use to play the prostitute;
015:040 that you may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy
to your God.
015:041 I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt,
to be your God: I am Yahweh your God.
016:001 Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi,
with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son
of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took [men]:
016:002 and they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children
of Israel, two hundred fifty princes of the congregation,
called to the assembly, men of renown;
016:003 and they assembled themselves together against Moses and
against Aaron, and said to them, You take too much on you,
seeing all the congregation are holy, everyone of them,
and Yahweh is among them: why then lift yourselves up above
the assembly of Yahweh?
016:004 When Moses heard it, he fell on his face:
016:005 and he spoke to Korah and to all his company, saying, In the
morning Yahweh will show who are his, and who is holy,
and will cause him to come near to him: even him whom he shall
choose he will cause to come near to him.
016:006 This do: take you censers, Korah, and all his company;
016:007 and put fire in them, and put incense on them before Yahweh tomorrow:

of Levi with you? and seek you the priesthood also?

016:012 Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab;
and they said, We won't come up:
016:013 is 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 needs make yourself also a prince over us?
016:014 Moreover you haven't brought us into a land flowing with milk
and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards:
