Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Numbers 16
⁴⁵ "Get away from among this congregation, that I may consume them instantly." Then they fell on their faces.
⁴⁶ Moses said to Aaron, "Take your censer and put in it fire from the altar, and lay incense on it; then bring it quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them, for wrath has gone forth from the Lord, the plague has begun!"
⁴⁷ Then Aaron took it as Moses had spoken, and ran into the midst of the assembly, for behold, the plague had begun among the people. So he put on the incense and made atonement for the people.
⁴⁸ He took his stand between the dead and the living, so that the plague was checked.
⁴⁹ But those who died by the plague were 14,700, besides those who died on account of Korah.
⁵⁰ Then Aaron returned to Moses at the doorway of the tent of meeting, for the plague had been checked.
Numbers 17
¹ Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
² "Speak to the sons of Israel, and get from them a rod for each father’s household: twelve rods, from all their leaders according to their fathers’ households. You shall write each name on his rod,
³ and write Aaron’s name on the rod of Levi; for there is one rod for the head of each of their fathers’ households.
⁴ You shall then deposit them in the tent of meeting in front of the testimony, where I meet with you.
⁵ It will come about that the rod of the man whom I choose will sprout. Thus I will lessen from upon Myself the grumblings of the sons of Israel, who are grumbling against you."
