Korah Rebels

1 Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men.

1 Καὶ ἐλάλησεν Κορὲ υἱὸς Ἰσσαὰρ υἱοῦ Καὰθ υἱοῦ Λευὶ καὶ Δαθὰν καὶ Ἀβιρὼν υἱοὶ Ἐλιὰβ καὶ Αὒν υἱὸς Φαλὲθ υἱοῦ Ῥουβὴν 1 καὶ ἐλάλησε Κορὲ υἱὸς Ἰσσάαρ υἱοῦ Καὰθ υἱοῦ Λευὶ καὶ Δαθὰν καὶ Ἀβειρὼν υἱοὶ Ἑλιὰβ καὶ Αὔν υἱὸς Φαλὲθ υἱοῦ Ῥουβήν,
1 And Kore the son of Issaar the son of Kaath the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abirōn, sons of Eliab, and Aun the son of Phaleth the son of Rhoubēn, spoke; 1 And Kore the son of Issaar the son of Kaath the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abirōn, sons of Eliab, and Aun the son of Phaleth the son of Rhoubēn, spoke;

2 And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the sons of Israēl, 250 princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown.

2 καὶ ἀνέστησαν ἔναντι Μωυσῆ, καὶ ἄνδρες τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ πεντήκοντα καὶ διακόσιοι, ἀρχηγοὶ συναγωγῆς, σύγκλητοι βουλῆς καὶ ἄνδρες ὀνομαστοί, 2 καὶ ἀνέστησαν ἔναντι Μωυσῆ, καὶ ἄνδρες τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ πεντήκοντα καὶ διακόσιοι, ἀρχηγοὶ συναγωγῆς, σύγκλητοι βουλῆς καί ἄνδρες ὀνομαστοί,
2 and rose up before Moses, and 250 men of the sons of Israēl, chiefs of the assembly, chosen councillors, and famous men. 2 and rose up before Moses, and 250 men of the sons of Israēl, chiefs of the assembly, chosen councillors, and famous men.

3 And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, “You take too much on you, since all the congregation is holy, everyone of them, and Yahweh is among them; why then do you exalt yourselves above the congregation of Yahweh?”

3 συνέστησαν ἐπὶ Μωυσῆν καὶ Ἀαρὼν καὶ εἶπαν Ἐχέτω ὑμῖν, ὅτι πᾶσα συναγωγὴ πάντες ἅγιοι καὶ ἐν αὐτοῖς κύριος, καὶ διὰ τί κατανίστασθε ἐπὶ τὴν συναγωγὴν κυρίου; 3 συνέστησαν ἐπὶ Μωυσῆν καὶ Ἀαρὼν καὶ εἶπαν· ἐχέτω ὑμῖν, ὅτι πᾶσα συναγωγὴ πάντες ἅγιοι, καὶ ἐν αὐτοῖς Κύριος, καὶ διατί κατανίστασθε ἐπὶ τὴν συναγωγὴν Κυρίου;
3 They rose up against Moses and Aarōn, and said, “Enough for you! Because all the congregation are set apart, and the Lord is among them. Now why do you stand against the congregation of the Lord?” 3 They rose up against Moses and Aarōn, and said, “Enough for you! Because all the congregation are set apart, and the Lord is among them. Now why do you stand against the congregation of the Lord?”

4 And when Moses heard it, he fell on his face.

4 καὶ ἀκούσας Μωυσῆς ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον 4 καὶ ἀκούσας Μωυσῆς ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον,
4 And when Moses heard it, he fell on his face. 4 And when Moses heard it, he fell on his face.

5 And he spoke to Korah and to all his company, saying, “Even tomorrow Yahweh will show who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near to him; even him whom he has chosen will he cause to come near to him.

5 καὶ ἐλάλησεν πρὸς Κορὲ καὶ πρὸς πᾶσαν αὐτοῦ τὴν συναγωγὴν λέγων Ἐπέσκεπται καὶ ἔγνω θεὸς τοὺς ὄντας αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς ἁγίους καὶ προσηγάγετο πρὸς ἑαυτόν, καὶ οὓς ἐξελέξατο ἑαυτῷ, προσηγάγετο πρὸς ἑαυτόν. 5 καὶ ἐλάλησε πρὸς Κορὲ καὶ πρὸς πᾶσαν αὐτοῦ τὴν συναγωγὴν λέγων· ἐπέσκεπται καὶ ἔγνω Θεὸς τοὺς ὄντας αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς ἁγίους, καὶ προσηγάγετο πρὸς ἑαυτόν, καὶ οὓς ἐξελέξατο ἑαυτῷ, προσηγάγετο πρὸς ἑαυτόν.
5 And he spoke to Kore and all his assembly, saying, “God has examined and knows those who are his and who are set apart, and has brought them to himself; and whom he has chosen for himself, he has brought to himself. 5 And he spoke to Kore and all his assembly, saying, “God has examined and knows those who are his and who are set apart, and has brought them to himself; and whom he has chosen for himself, he has brought to himself.

6 Do this: Take censers, Korah, and all his company;

6 τοῦτο ποιήσατε· λάβετε ὑμῖν αὐτοῖς πυρεῖα, Κορὲ καὶ πᾶσα συναγωγὴ αὐτοῦ, 6 τοῦτο ποιήσατε· λάβετε ὑμῖν αὐτοῖς πυρεῖα, Κορὲ καὶ πᾶσα συναγωγὴ αὐτοῦ,
6 Do this: take for yourselves fire-pans, Kore and all his assembly; 6 Do this: take for yourselves fire-pans, Kore and all his assembly;

7 and put fire in it, and put incense in them before Yahweh tomorrow; and it shall be that the man whom Yahweh chooses, he shall be holy; you take too much on you, you sons of Levi.”

7 καὶ ἐπίθετε ἐπ’ αὐτὰ πῦρ καὶ ἐπίθετε ἐπ’ αὐτὰ θυμίαμα ἔναντι κυρίου αὔριον, καὶ ἔσται ἀνήρ, ὃν ἄν ἐκλέξηται κύριος, οὗτος ἅγιος· ἱκανούσθω ὑμῖν, υἱοὶ Λευί. 7 καὶ ἐπίθετε ἐπ’ αὐτὰ πῦρ, καὶ ἐπίθετε ἐπ’ αὐτὰ θυμίαμα ἔναντι Κυρίου αὔριον· καὶ ἔσται ἀνήρ, ὃν ἐκλέλεκται Κύριος, οὗτος ἅγιος· ἱκανούσθω ὑμῖν υἱοὶ Λευί.
7 and put fire on them, and put incense on them before the Lord tomorrow; and it shall be that the man whom the Lord chose, he shall be set apart; let it be satisfactory for you, sons of Levi.” 7 and put fire on them, and put incense on them before the Lord tomorrow; and it shall be that the man whom the Lord chose, he shall be set apart; let it be satisfactory for you, sons of Levi.”

8 And Moses said to Korah, “Hear, please, you sons of Levi.

8 καὶ εἶπεν Μωυσῆς πρὸς Κορὲ Εἰσακούσατέ μου, υἱοὶ Λευί. 8 καὶ εἶπε Μωυσῆς πρὸς Κορέ· εἰσακούσατέ μου, υἱοὶ Λευί.
8 And Moses said to Kore, “Listen to me, you sons of Levi. 8 And Moses said to Kore, “Listen to me, you sons of Levi.

9 Does it seem but a small thing to you, that the Elohim of Israēl has separated you from the congregation of Israēl, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tent of Yahweh, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them?

9 μὴ μικρόν ἐστιν τοῦτο ὑμῖν ὅτι διέστειλεν θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ ὑμᾶς ἐκ συναγωγῆς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ προσηγάγετο ὑμᾶς πρὸς ἑαυτὸν λειτουργεῖν τὰς λειτουργίας τῆς σκηνῆς κυρίου καὶ παρίστασθαι ἔναντι τῆς συναγωγῆς λατρεύειν αὐτοῖς; 9 μὴ μικρόν ἔστι τοῦτο ὑμῖν, ὅτι διέστειλεν Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ ὑμᾶς ἐκ συναγωγῆς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ προσηγάγετο ὑμᾶς πρὸς ἑαυτὸν λειτουργεῖν τὰς λειτουργίας τῆς σκηνῆς Κυρίου καὶ παρίστασθαι ἔναντι τῆς σκηνῆς λατρεύειν αὐτοῖς;
9 This is not a little thing for you, is it; that the God of Israēl has separated you from the congregation of Israēl, and brought you near to himself to minister in the services of the tent of the Lord, and to stand before the congregation to serve them? 9 This is not a little thing for you, is it; that the God of Israēl has separated you from the congregation of Israēl, and brought you near to himself to minister in the services of the tent of the Lord, and to stand before the congregation to serve them?

10 And he has brought you near to him, and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you; and do you seek the priesthood also?

10 καὶ προσηγάγετό σὲ καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου υἱοὺς Λευὶ μετὰ σου, καὶ ζητεῖτε ἱερατεύειν; 10 καὶ προσηγάγετό σε καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου υἱοὺς Λευὶ μετὰ σοῦ καὶ ζητεῖτε καὶ ἱερατεύειν;
10 And he brought you near and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you, and do you seek to serve as priests? 10 And he brought you near and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you, and do you seek to serve as priests?

11 For which cause both you and all your company are gathered together against Yahweh; and what is Aaron, that you murmur against him?”

11 οὕτως σὺ καὶ πᾶσα συναγωγή σου συνηθροισμένη πρὸς τὸν θεόν· καὶ Ἀαρὼν τίς ἐστιν ὅτι διαγογγύζετε κατ’ αὐτοῦ; 11 οὕτως σὺ καὶ πᾶσα συναγωγή σου συνηθροισμένη πρὸς τὸν Θεόν· καὶ Ἀαρὼν τίς ἐστιν, ὅτι διαγογγύζετε κατ’ αὐτοῦ;
11 Thus it is with you and all your assembly who are gathered together against God; and who is Aarōn, that you complain against him?” 11 Thus it is with you and all your assembly who are gathered together against God; and who is Aarōn, that you complain against him?”

12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; who said, “We won’t come up.

12 Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Μωυσῆς καλέσαι Δαθὰν καὶ Ἀβιρὼν υἱοὺς Ἐλιάβ.
καὶ εἶπαν Οὐκ ἀναβαίνομεν·
12 καὶ ἀπέστειλε Μωυσῆς καλέσαι Δαθὰν καὶ Ἀβειρὼν υἱοὺς Ἑλιάβ· καὶ εἶπαν· οὐκ ἀναβαίνομεν·
12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abirōn sons of Eliab; and they said, “We are not going up. 12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abirōn sons of Eliab; and they said, “We are not going up.

13 Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land that flows with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except you make yourself altogether a prince over us?

13 μὴ μικρὸν τοῦτο ὅτι ἀνήγαγες ἡμᾶς ἐκ γῆς ῥεούσης γάλα καὶ μέλι ἀποκτεῖναι ἡμᾶς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, ὅτι κατάρχεις ἡμῶν ἄρχων; 13 μὴ μικρὸν τοῦτο, ὅτι ἀνήγαγες ἡμᾶς εἰς γῆν ῥέουσαν γάλα καὶ μέλι ἀποκτεῖναι ἡμᾶς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, ὅτι κατάρχεις ἡμῶν ἄρχων;
13 This is not a little thing, is it, that you brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey to kill us in the wilderness, because you rule over us as a ruler? 13 This is not a little thing, is it, that you brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey to kill us in the wilderness, because you rule over us as a ruler?

14 Moreover you haven’t brought us into a land that flows with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards; will you put out the eyes of these men? We won’t come up.”

14 εἰ καὶ εἰς γῆν ῥέουσαν γάλα καὶ μέλι εἰσήγαγες ἡμᾶς καὶ ἔδωκας ἡμῖν κλῆρον ἀγροῦ καὶ ἀμπελῶνας, τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐκείνων ἄν ἐξέκοψας.
οὐκ ἀναβαίνομεν.
14 εἰ καὶ εἰς γῆν ῥέουσαν γάλα καὶ μέλι εἰσήγαγες ἡμᾶς καὶ ἔδωκας ἡμῖν κλῆρον ἀγροῦ καὶ ἀμπελῶνας, τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐκείνων ἄν ἐξέκοψας· οὐκ ἀναβαίνομεν.
14 And if you brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, and given us an inheritance of land and vineyards, you would cut out the eyes of those men. We are not going up.” 14 And if you brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, and given us an inheritance of land and vineyards, you would cut out the eyes of those men. We are not going up.”

15 And Moses was very wroth, and said to Yahweh, “Don’t respect their offering; I haven’t taken one donkey from them, neither have I hurt one of them.”

15 καὶ ἐβαρυθύμησεν Μωυσῆς σφόδρα καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς κύριον Μὴ προσχῇς εἰς τὴν θυσίαν αὐτῶν· οὐκ ἐπιθύμημα οὐδενὸς αὐτῶν εἴληφα οὐδὲ ἐκάκωσα οὐδένα αὐτῶν. 15 καὶ ἐβαρυθύμησε Μωυσῆς σφόδρα καὶ εἶπε πρὸς Κύριον· μὴ πρόσχῃς εἰς τὴν θυσίαν αὐτῶν· οὐκ ἐπιθύμημα οὐδενὸς αὐτῶν εἴληφα, οὐδὲ ἐκάκωσα οὐδένα αὐτῶν.
15 And Moses was very exasperated and said to the Lord, “Don’t pay attention to their sacrifice; I haven’t taken away the desire of any one of them, nor did I harm any one of them.” 15 And Moses was very exasperated and said to the Lord, “Don’t pay attention to their sacrifice; I haven’t taken away the desire of any one of them, nor did I harm any one of them.”

16 And Moses said to Korah, “Tomorrow, you and all your company be present before Yahweh; you and they, as well as Aaron.

16 καὶ εἶπεν Μωυσῆς πρὸς Κορὲ Ἁγίασον τὴν συναγωγήν σου καὶ γίνεσθε ἕτοιμοι ἔναντι κυρίου σὺ καὶ αὐτοὶ καὶ Ἀαρὼν αὔριον· 16 καὶ εἶπε Μωυσῆς πρὸς Κορέ· ἁγίασον τὴν συναγωγήν σου καὶ γίνεσθε ἕτοιμοι ἔναντι Κυρίου σὺ καὶ Ἀαρὼν καὶ αὐτοὶ αὔριον.
16 And Moses said to Kore, “Consecrate your assembly and be ready before the Lord, you and they and Aarōn, tomorrow. 16 And Moses said to Kore, “Consecrate your assembly and be ready before the Lord, you and they and Aarōn, tomorrow.

17 And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring before Yahweh every man his censer, 250 censers; you also, and Aaron, each of you his censer.”

17 καὶ λάβετε ἕκαστος τὸ πυρεῖον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπιθήσετε ἐπ’ αὐτὰ θυμίαμα καὶ προσάξετε ἔναντι κυρίου ἕκαστος τὸ πυρεῖον αὐτοῦ, πεντήκοντα καὶ διακόσια πυρεῖα, καὶ σὺ καὶ Ἀαρὼν ἕκαστος τὸ πυρεῖον αὐτοῦ. 17 καὶ λάβετε ἕκαστος τὸ πυρεῖον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπιθήσετε ἐπ’ αὐτὰ θυμίαμα καὶ προσάξετε ἔναντι Κυρίου ἕκαστος τὸ πυρεῖον αὐτοῦ, πεντήκοντα καὶ διακόσια πυρεῖα, καὶ σὺ καὶ Ἀαρὼν ἕκαστος τὸ πυρεῖον αὐτοῦ.
17 And take, each one, his fire-pan, and you shall put incense on them, and shall bring, each one, his fire-pan before the Lord, 250 fire-pans, and you and Aarōn, each his fire-pan.” 17 And take, each one, his fire-pan, and you shall put incense on them, and shall bring, each one, his fire-pan before the Lord, 250 fire-pans, and you and Aarōn, each his fire-pan.”

18 And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense on it, and stood at the door of the tent of the congregation with Moses and Aaron.

18 Καὶ ἔλαβεν ἕκαστος τὸ πυρεῖον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπέθηκαν ἐπ’ αὐτὰ πῦρ καὶ ἐπέβαλον ἐπ’ αὐτὸ θυμίαμα.
καὶ ἔστησαν παρὰ τὰς θύρας τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἀαρών.
18 καὶ ἔλαβεν ἕκαστος τὸ πυρεῖον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπέθηκαν ἐπ’ αὐτὰ πῦρ καὶ ἐπέβαλον ἐπ’ αὐτὰ θυμίαμα.
καὶ ἔστησαν παρὰ τὰς θύρας τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἀαρών.
18 And each one took his fire-pan, and they put fire on them, and applied incense on them. They stood near the doors of the tent of witness with Moses and Aarōn. 18 And each one took his fire-pan, and they put fire on them, and applied incense on them. They stood near the doors of the tent of witness with Moses and Aarōn.

19 And Korah gathered all the congregation against them to the door of the tent of the congregation; and the glory of Yahweh appeared to all the congregation.

19 καὶ ἐπισυνέστησεν ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς Κορὲ τὴν πᾶσαν αὐτοῦ συναγωγὴν παρὰ τὴν θύραν τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου.
καὶ ὤφθη δόξα κυρίου πάσῃ τῇ συναγωγῇ.
19 καὶ ἐπισυνέστησεν ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς Κορὲ τὴν πᾶσαν αὐτοῦ συναγωγὴν παρὰ τὴν θύραν τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου.
καὶ ὤφθη δόξα Κυρίου πάσῃ τῇ συναγωγῇ.
19 And Kore rallied all his assembly against them by the door of the tent of witness; and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the congregation. 19 And Kore rallied all his assembly against them by the door of the tent of witness; and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the congregation.

20 And Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

20 καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ Ἀαρὼν λέγων 20 καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ Ἀαρὼν λέγων·
20 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aarōn, saying, 20 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aarōn, saying,

21 “Separate yourselves from among this congregation, so that I may consume them in a moment.”

21 Ἀποσχίσθητε ἐκ μέσου τῆς συναγωγῆς ταύτης, καὶ ἐξαναλώσω αὐτοὺς εἰς ἅπαξ. 21 ἀποσχίσθητε ἐκ μέσου τῆς συναγωγῆς ταύτης, καὶ ἐξαναλώσω αὐτοὺς εἰσάπαξ.
21 Separate yourselves from the midst of this assembly, and I will consume them once for all. 21 Separate yourselves from the midst of this assembly, and I will consume them once for all.

22 And they fell on their faces, and said, “Oh El, Elohim of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will you be wroth with all the congregation?”

22 καὶ ἔπεσαν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν καὶ εἶπαν θεὸς θεὸς τῶν πνευμάτων καὶ πάσης σαρκός, εἰ ἄνθρωπος εἷς ἥμαρτεν, ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν συναγωγὴν ὀργὴ κυρίου; 22 καὶ ἔπεσαν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν καὶ εἶπαν· Θεός, Θεὸς τῶν πνευμάτων καὶ πάσης σαρκός, εἰ ἄνθρωπος εἷς ἥμαρτεν, ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν συναγωγὴν ὀργὴ Κυρίου;
22 And they fell on their face, and said, “Oh God, the God of spirits and of all flesh, if one man sinned, shall the Lord’s anger be on the whole congregation?” 22 And they fell on their face, and said, “Oh God, the God of spirits and of all flesh, if one man sinned, shall the Lord’s anger be on the whole congregation?”

23 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

23 καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων 23 καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων·
23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

24 “Speak to the congregation, saying, ‘Get up from around the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.’ ”

24 Λάλησον τῇ συναγωγῇ λέγων Ἀναχωρήσατε κύκλῳ ἀπὸ τῆς συναγωγῆς Κορέ. 24 λάλησον τῇ συναγωγῇ λέγων· ἀναχωρήσατε κύκλῳ ἀπὸ τῆς συναγωγῆς Κορέ.
24 Speak to the congregation, saying, Withdraw from around the assembly of Kore. 24 Speak to the congregation, saying, Withdraw from around the assembly of Kore.

25 And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israēl followed him.

25 Καὶ ἀνέστη Μωυσῆς καὶ ἐπορεύθη πρὸς Δαθὰν καὶ Ἀβιρών, καὶ συνεπορεύθησαν μετ’ αὐτοῦ πάντες οἱ πρεσβύτεροι Ἰσραήλ. 25 καὶ ἀνέστη Μωυσῆς καὶ ἐπορεύθης πρὸς Δαθὰν καὶ Ἀβειρών, καὶ συνεπορεύθησαν μετ’ αὐτοῦ πάντες οἱ πρεσβύτεροι Ἰσραήλ.
25 And Moses arose and went to Dathan and Abirōn, and all the elders of Israēl went with him. 25 And Moses arose and went to Dathan and Abirōn, and all the elders of Israēl went with him.

26 And he spoke to the congregation, saying, “Depart, please, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be consumed in all their sins.”

26 καὶ ἐλάλησεν πρὸς τὴν συναγωγὴν λέγων Ἀποσχίσθητε ἀπὸ τῶν σκηνῶν τῶν ἀνθρώπων τῶν σκληρῶν τούτων καὶ μὴ ἅπτεσθε ἀπὸ πάντων, ὧν ἐστιν αὐτοῖς, μὴ συναπόλησθε ἐν πάσῃ τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ αὐτῶν. 26 καὶ ἐλάλησε πρὸς τὴν συναγωγὴν λέγων· ἀποσχίσθητε ἀπὸ τῶν σκηνῶν τῶν ἀνθρώπων τῶν σκληρῶν τούτων, καὶ μὴ ἅπτεσθε ἀπὸ πάντων, ὧν ἐστιν αὐτοῖς, μὴ συναπόλησθε ἐν πάσῃ τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ αὐτῶν.
26 And he spoke to the congregation, saying, “Be separated from the tents of these stubborn men, and don’t touch anything that belongs to them, lest you be consumed with them in all their sin.” 26 And he spoke to the congregation, saying, “Be separated from the tents of these stubborn men, and don’t touch anything that belongs to them, lest you be consumed with them in all their sin.”

27 So they got up from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side; and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children.

27 καὶ ἀπέστησαν ἀπὸ τῆς σκηνῆς Κορὲ κύκλῳ· καὶ Δαθὰν καὶ Ἀβιρὼν ἐξῆλθον καὶ εἱστήκεισαν παρὰ τὰς θύρας τῶν σκηνῶν αὐτῶν καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν καὶ ἀποσκευὴ αὐτῶν. 27 καὶ ἀπέστησαν ἀπὸ τῆς σκηνῆς Κορὲ κύκλῳ· καὶ Δαθὰν καὶ Ἀβειρὼν ἐξῆλθον καὶ εἱστήκεισαν παρὰ τὰς θύρας τῶν σκηνῶν αὐτῶν καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν καὶ ἀποσκευὴ αὐτῶν.
27 And they withdrew from around the tent of Kore. Then Dathan and Abirōn went out and stood by the doors of their tents, and their wives and their children and their possession. 27 And they withdrew from around the tent of Kore. Then Dathan and Abirōn went out and stood by the doors of their tents, and their wives and their children and their possession.

28 And Moses said, “Hereby you shall know that Yahweh has sent me to do all these works; for I haven’t done them of my own mind.

28 Καὶ εἶπεν Μωυσῆς Ἐν τούτῳ γνώσεσθε ὅτι κύριος ἀπέστειλέν με ποιῆσαι πάντα τὰ ἔργα ταῦτα ὅτι οὐκ ἀπ’ ἐμαυτοῦ· 28 καὶ εἶπε Μωυσῆς· ἐν τούτῳ γνώσεσθε ὅτι Κύριος ἀπέστειλέ με ποιῆσαι πάντα τὰ ἔργα ταῦτα, ὅτι οὐκ ἀπ’ ἐμαυτοῦ·
28 And Moses said, “By this you shall know that the Lord has sent me to do all these works, that it’s not from myself. 28 And Moses said, “By this you shall know that the Lord has sent me to do all these works, that it’s not from myself.

29 If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then Yahweh hasn’t sent me.

29 εἰ κατὰ θάνατον πάντων ἀνθρώπων ἀποθανοῦνται οὗτοι, εἰ καὶ κατ’ ἐπίσκεψιν πάντων ἀνθρώπων ἐπισκοπὴ ἔσται αὐτῶν, οὐχὶ κύριος ἀπέσταλκέν με· 29 εἰ κατὰ θάνατον πάντων ἀνθρώπων ἀποθανοῦνται οὗτοι, εἰ καὶ κατ’ ἐπίσκεψιν πάντων ἀνθρώπων ἐπισκοπὴ ἔσται αὐτῶν, οὐχὶ Κύριος ἀπέσταλκέ με·
29 If these shall die according to the death of all men, if also their visitation shall be according to the visitation of all men, then the Lord hasn’t sent me. 29 If these shall die according to the death of all men, if also their visitation shall be according to the visitation of all men, then the Lord hasn’t sent me.

30 But if Yahweh makes a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallows them up, with all that pertains to them, and they go down suddenly into the pit; then you shall understand that these men have provoked Yahweh.”

30 ἀλλ’ ἐν φάσματι δείξει κύριος, καὶ ἀνοίξασα γῆ τὸ στόμα αὐτῆς καταπίεται αὐτοὺς καὶ τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς σκηνὰς αὐτῶν καὶ πάντα, ὅσα ἐστὶν αὐτοῖς καὶ καταβήσονται ζῶντες εἰς ᾅδου, καὶ γνώσεσθε ὅτι παρώξυναν οἱ ἄνθρωποι οὗτοι τὸν κύριον. 30 ἀλλ’ ἐν φάσματι δείξει Κύριος, καὶ ἀνοίξασα γῆ τὸ στόμα αὐτῆς καταπίεται αὐτοὺς καὶ τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς σκηνὰς αὐτῶν καὶ πάντας, ὅσα ἐστὶν αὐτοῖς, καὶ καταβήσονται ζῶντες εἰς ᾅδου, καὶ γνώσεσθε, ὅτι παρώξυναν οἱ ἄνθρωποι οὗτοι τὸν Κύριον.
30 But if the Lord shall show by an unusual vision, and the earth shall open its mouth and swallows them down, and their households, and their tents, and all that belongs to them, and they shall go down alive into Hades, then you shall know that these men have provoked the Lord.” 30 But if the Lord shall show by an unusual vision, and the earth shall open its mouth and swallows them down, and their households, and their tents, and all that belongs to them, and they shall go down alive into Hades, then you shall know that these men have provoked the Lord.”

31 And it happened, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground that was under them split apart.

31 Ὡς δὲ ἐπαύσατο λαλῶν πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους ἐρράγη γῆ ὑποκάτω αὐτῶν, 31 ὡς δὲ ἐπαύσατο λαλῶν πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους, ἐρράγη γῆ ὑποκάτω αὐτῶν,
31 Then as he stopped speaking all these words, the earth split apart beneath them. 31 Then as he stopped speaking all these words, the earth split apart beneath them.

32 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men who joined with Korah, and all their goods.

32 καὶ ἠνοίχθη γῆ καὶ κατέπιεν αὐτοὺς καὶ τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τοὺς ὄντας μετὰ Κορὲ καὶ τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν. 32 καὶ ἠνοίχθη γῆ καὶ κατέπιεν αὐτοὺς καὶ τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τοὺς ὄντας μετὰ Κορὲ καὶ τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν.
32 And the earth opened and swallowed them down, and their households, and all the men who were with Kore and their livestock. 32 And the earth opened and swallowed them down, and their households, and all the men who were with Kore and their livestock.

33 They, and all that joined with them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed over them; and they perished from among the congregation.

33 καὶ κατέβησαν αὐτοὶ καὶ ὅσα ἐστὶν αὐτῶν ζῶντα εἰς ᾅδου, καὶ ἐκάλυψεν αὐτοὺς γῆ, καὶ ἀπώλοντο ἐκ μέσου τῆς συναγωγῆς. 33 καὶ κατέβησαν αὐτοὶ καὶ ὅσα ἐστὶν αὐτῶν ζῶντα εἰς ᾅδου, καὶ ἐκάλυψεν αὐτοὺς γῆ, καὶ ἀπώλοντο ἐκ μέσου τῆς συναγωγῆς.
33 And they went down and as much as that was theirs, alive into Hades; and the earth covered them, and they perished from the midst of the congregation. 33 And they went down and as much as that was theirs, alive into Hades; and the earth covered them, and they perished from the midst of the congregation.

34 And all Israēl who were all around them fled at the cry of them; for they said, “Lest the earth swallow us up too.”

34 καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ οἱ κύκλῳ αὐτῶν ἔφυγον ἀπὸ τῆς φωνῆς αὐτῶν, ὅτι λέγοντες Μήποτε καταπίῃ ἡμᾶς γῆ. 34 καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ οἱ κύκλῳ αὐτῶν ἔφυγον ἀπὸ τῆς φωνῆς αὐτῶν, ὅτι λέγοντες· μή ποτε καταπίῃ ἡμᾶς γῆ.

36 And the Lord said to Moses, 36 And the Lord said to Moses,

37 [MT 17:2] “Speak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest to take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter the fire yonder; for they are hallowed.

37 καὶ πρὸς Ἐλεάζαρ τὸν υἱὸν Ἀαρὼν τὸν ἱερέα Ἀνέλεσθε τὰ πυρεῖα τὰ χαλκᾶ ἐκ μέσου τῶν κατακεκαυμένων καὶ τὸ πῦρ τὸ ἀλλότριον τοῦτο σπεῖρον ἐκεῖ, ὅτι ἡγίασαν 37 καὶ πρὸς Ἐλεάζαρ τὸν υἱὸν Ἀαρὼν τὸν ἱερέα· ἀνέλεσθε τὰ πυρεῖα τὰ χαλκᾶ ἐκ μέσου τῶν κατακεκαυμένων καὶ τὸ πῦρ τὸ ἀλλότριον τοῦτο σπεῖρον ἐκεῖ,

38 [MT 17:3] Regarding the censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them be made into broad plates for a covering of the altar; for they offered them before Yahweh, therefore they are hallowed; and they shall be a sign to the sons of Israēl.”

38 τὰ πυρεῖα τῶν ἁμαρτωλῶν τούτων ἐν ταῖς ψυχαῖς αὐτῶν· καὶ ποίησον αὐτὰ λεπίδας ἐλατάς περίθεμα τῷ θυσιαστηρίῳ, ὅτι προσηνέχθησαν ἔναντι κυρίου καὶ ἡγιάσθησαν καὶ ἐγένοντο εἰς σημεῖον τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ. 38 ὅτι ἡγίασαν τὰ πυρεῖα τῶν ἁμαρτωλῶν τούτων ἐν ταῖς ψυχαῖς αὐτῶν· καὶ ποίησον αὐτὰ λεπίδας ἐλατὰς περίθεμα τῷ θυσιαστηρίῳ, ὅτι προσηνέχθησαν ἔναντι Κυρίου καὶ ἡγιάσθησαν καὶ ἐγένοντο εἰς σημεῖον τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ.

40 μνημόσυνον τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ, ὅπως ἄν μὴ προσέλθῃ μηθεὶς ἀλλογενής, ὃς οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος Ἀαρών, ἐπιθεῖναι θυμίαμα ἔναντι κυρίου καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὥσπερ Κορὲ καὶ ἐπισύστασις αὐτοῦ, καθὰ ἐλάλησεν κύριος ἐν χειρὶ Μωυσῆ. 40 μνημόσυνον τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ, ὅπως ἄν μὴ προσέλθῃ μηδεὶς ἀλλογενής, ὃς οὐκ ἐστιν ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος Ἀαρών, ἐπιθεῖναι θυμίαμα ἔναντι Κυρίου καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὥσπερ Κορὲ καὶ ἐπισύστασις αὐτοῦ, καθὰ ἐλάλησε Κύριος ἐν χειρὶ Μωυσῆ αὐτῷ.

41 [MT 17:6] But on the next day all the congregation of the sons of Israēl murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, “You have killed the people of Yahweh.”

41 Καὶ ἐγόγγυσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ τῇ ἐπαύριον ἐπὶ Μωυσῆν καὶ Ἀαρὼν λέγοντες Ὑμεῖς ἀπεκτάγκατε τὸν λαὸν κυρίου. 41 Καὶ ἐγόγγυσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ τῇ ἐπαύριον ἐπὶ Μωυσῆν καὶ Ἀαρὼν λέγοντες· ὑμεῖς ἀπεκτάγκατε τὸν λαὸν Κυρίου.

καὶ ἔπεσον ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν.

46 καὶ εἶπεν Μωυσῆς πρὸς Ἀαρὼν Λαβὲ τὸ πυρεῖον καὶ ἐπίθες ἐπ’ αὐτὸ πῦρ ἀπὸ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ ἐπίβαλε ἐπ’ αὐτὸ θυμίαμα καὶ ἀπένεγκε τὸ τάχος εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν καὶ ἐξίλασαι περὶ αὐτῶν· ἐξῆλθεν γὰρ ὀργὴ ἀπὸ προσώπου κυρίου, ἦρκται θραύειν τὸν λαόν. 46 καὶ εἶπε Μωυσῆς πρὸς Ἀαρών· λάβε τὸ πυρεῖον καὶ ἐπίθες ἐπ’ αὐτὸ πῦρ ἀπὸ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ ἐπίβαλε ἐπ’ αὐτὸ θυμίαμα καὶ ἀπένεγκε τὸ τάχος εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν καὶ ἐξίλασαι περὶ αὐτῶν· ἐξῆλθε γὰρ ὀργὴ ἀπὸ προσώπου Κυρίου, ἦρκται θραύειν τὸν λαόν.
