29 Your carcaffes fhall fall in this wildernefs; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old, and upward, which have murmured against me,

30 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land concerning which I fware to make you dwell therein, fave Caleb the fon of Jephunneh, and Joshua the fon of Nun.

31 But your little ones, which ye faid fhould be a prey, them will I bring in, and they thall know the land which ye have defpifed.

33 But, as for you, your carcaffes, they fhall fall in this wilderness.

33 And your children thall wander in the wilderness torty years, and bear your whore. doms, until your carcaffes be wafted in the wilderness.

34 After the number of the days in which ye fearched the land, even forty days, (each day for a year,) thall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years; and ye hall know my breach of promife.

351 the LORD have faid, I will furely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilder Defs they shall be confumed; and there they fhall die.

37 Even thofe men, that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague

before the LORD.

38 But Joshua the fon of Nun, and Caleb the fon of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to fearch the land, lived ftill,

39 And Mofes told thefe fayings unto all the children of Ifrael: and the people mourn ed greatly.

40 And they rofe up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, faying, Lo, we be bere, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promifed for we have finned.

41 And Mofes faid, Wherefore now do ye tranfgrefs the commandment of the LORD but if fhall not profper.

42 Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not fmitten before your enemies.

43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the fword: becaufe ye are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.

44 But they prefumed to go up unto the hill-top: nevertheless, the ark of the cove nant of the LORD, and Mofes, departed not out of the camp.

45 Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and fmote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah.

15 One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and alfo for the ftranger that fojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, fo thail the ftranger be before the LORD.

The rebellion of Korab. Abiram, the fons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, fons of Reuben, took men;

1 And they rofe up before Mofes, with cer tain of the children of Ifrael, two hundred and fifty princes of the affembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown:

3 And they gathered themselves together against Mofes, and against Aaron, and faid unto them, Ye take too much upon you, feeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: where. fore then lift ye up yourselves above the con. gregation of the LORD!

4 And when Mofes heard it, he fell upon his face:

5 And he spake unto Korah, and unto all his company, faying, Even to-morrow the LORD will thew who are his, and who is holy; and will caufe him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him.

6 This do: Take you cenfers, Korah, and all his company;

7 And put tire therein, and put incenfe in them before the LORD to-morrow: and it thall be, that the man whom the LORD doth choofe, he shall be holy; ye take too much upon you, ye fons of Levi.

8 And Mofes faid unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye fons of 4 evi;

9 Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Ifrael hath feparated you from the congregation of Ifrael, to bring you near to himself, to do the fervice of the ta bernacle of the LORD, and to ftand before the congregation to minifter unto them?

10 And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the fons of Levi with thee: and feek ye the priesthood alfo?

11 For which cause, both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?

12 And Mofes fent to call Dathan and Abiram, the fons of Eliab; which faid, We will not come up.

13 Is it a fmall thing that thou haft brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyfelf altogether a prince over us?

14 Moreover, thou haft not brought us in. to a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vine. yards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? We will not come up.

15 And Mofes was very wroth, and faid unto the LORD, Respect not thou their offer. ing: I have not taken one afs from them,

neither have I hurt one of them.

16 And Mofes faid unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to-morrow:

17 And take every man his cenfer, and put incenfe in them, and bring ye before the LORD every man his cenfer, wo hundred and fifty cenfers; thou alfo, and Aaron, each of you his enfer.

18 And they took every man his cenfer, and put fire in them, and laid incenfe there on, and flood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Mofes and Aaron.

25 And Mofes rofe up, and went unto Dathan and Abiram: and the elders of Ifrael followed him.

26 And he spake unto the congregation, faying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of thefe wicked men, and touch nothing of their's, left ye be confumed in all their fins. 27 So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every fide and Dathan and Abiram came out, and flood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their fons, and their little children.

28 And Mofes faid, Hereby ye thall know that the LORD hath fent me to do all thefe works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.

42 And it came to pass, when the congre. gation was gathered against Mofes, and againft Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared.

43 And Mofes and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.

44 And the LORD Ipake unto Mofes,faying, 45 Get ye up from among this congregati on, that I may confume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.

46 And Mofes faid unto Aaron, Take a center, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incenfe, 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.

47 And Aaron took as Mofes commanded, and ran into the midft of the congregation, and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incenfe, and made an atonement for the people.

48 And he flood between the dead and the living; and the plague was ftayed.

34 And all Ifrael that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they fatd, Let the earth fwallow us up aljo.

35 And there came out a fire from the LORD, and confumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incenfe.
