民16:46And Moses said to Aaron, Take the censer, and put fire thereon from off the altar, and lay on incense, and carry it quickly to the assembly, and make atonement for them; for there is wrath gone out from Jehovah: the plague is begun.

民16:47And Aaron took as Moses had said, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and behold, the plague had begun among the people; and he put on incense, and made atonement for the people.

民16:48And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.

民16:49Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides them that had died because of the matter of Korah.

民16:50And Aaron returned to Moses to the entrance of the tent of meeting; and the plague was stayed.

民17:1And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

民17:2Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of them a staff, a staff for each father's house, of all their princes according to the houses of their fathers, twelve staves: thou shalt write each one's name upon his staff.

民17:3And Aaron's name shalt thou write upon the staff of Levi; for one staff shall be for [each] head of their fathers' houses.

民17:4And thou shalt lay them up in the tent of meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you.

民17:5And it shall come to pass, that the man whom I shall choose, his staff shall bud forth; and I will make to cease from before me the murmurings of the children of Israel, that they murmur against you.

民17:6And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and all their princes gave him a staff, one staff for each prince according to their fathers' houses, twelve staves, and the staff of Aaron was among their staves.

民17:7And Moses laid the staves before Jehovah in the tent of the testimony.

民17:8And it came to pass, when on the morrow Moses went into the tent of the testimony, behold, the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi had budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and ripened almonds.

民17:9And Moses brought out all the staves from before Jehovah to all the children of Israel, and they looked and took each one his staff.

民17:10And Jehovah said to Moses, Bring Aaron's staff again before the testimony, to be kept as a token for the sons of rebellion, that thou mayest put an end to their murmurings before me, that they may not die.

民17:11And Moses did so: as Jehovah had commanded him, so did he.

民17:12And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Lo, we expire, we perish, we all perish.

民17:13Every one that comes at all near to the tabernacle of Jehovah shall die: shall we then expire altogether?

民18:1And Jehovah said to Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father's house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.

民18:2And thy brethren also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring near with thee, that they may unite with thee, and minister unto thee; but thou and thy sons with thee [shall serve] before the tent of the testimony.
