So every man took his censer, put fire in it, laid incense on it, and stood at the door of the tabernacle of meeting with Moses and Aaron.

So the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

So they got away from around the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram; and Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the door of their tents, with their wives, their sons, and their little children.

So they and all those with them went down alive into the pit; the earth closed over them, and they perished from among the assembly.

So Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers, which those who were burned up had presented, and they were hammered out as a covering on the altar,

So Moses said to Aaron, "Take a censer and put fire in it from the altar, put incense on it, and take it quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them; for wrath has gone out from the LORD. The plague has begun."

Then Aaron took it as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and already the plague had begun among the people. So he put in the incense and made atonement for the people.

And he stood between the dead and the living; so the plague was stopped.

So Aaron returned to Moses at the door of the tabernacle of meeting, for the plague had stopped.

So Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and each of their leaders gave him a rod apiece, for each leader according to their fathers' houses, twelve rods; and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.

Thus did Moses; just as the LORD had commanded him, so he did.

So the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, "Surely we die, we perish, we all perish!

Now there was no water for the congregation; so they gathered together against Moses and Aaron.

So Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and they fell on their faces. And the glory of the LORD appeared to them.

So Moses took the rod from before the LORD as He commanded him.

So the children of Israel said to him, "We will go by the Highway, and if I or my livestock drink any of your water, then I will pay for it; let me only pass through on foot, nothing more."

Then he said, "You shall not pass through." So Edom came out against them with many men and with a strong hand.

Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his territory; so Israel turned away from him.

So Moses did just as the LORD commanded, and they went up to Mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
