or his unmarried sister who is near to him, since she has no husband.

Numbers 16:17

Each man is to take his censer, place incense in it, and present it before the LORD—250 censers. You and Aaron are to present your censers as well.”

Numbers 16:18

So each man took his censer, put fire and incense in it, and stood with Moses and Aaron at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

Numbers 16:19

When Korah had gathered his whole assembly against them at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the glory of the LORD appeared to the whole congregation.

Numbers 16:20

And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

Numbers 16:21

“Separate yourselves from this congregation so that I may consume them in an instant.”

Numbers 16:22

But Moses and Aaron fell facedown and said, “O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, when one man sins, will You be angry with the whole congregation?”

Numbers 16:23

Then the LORD said to Moses,

Numbers 16:24

“Tell the congregation to move away from the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”

Numbers 16:25

So Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him.

Numbers 16:26

And he warned the congregation, “Move away now from the tents of these wicked men. Do not touch anything that belongs to them, or you will be swept away because of all their sins.”

Numbers 16:30

Numbers 16:31

As soon as Moses had finished saying all this, the ground beneath them split open,

Numbers 16:32

and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and their households—all Korah’s men and all their possessions.

Numbers 16:33

They went down alive into Sheol with all they owned. The earth closed over them, and they vanished from the assembly.

Numbers 16:34

At their cries, all the people of Israel who were around them fled, saying, “The earth may swallow us too!”

Numbers 16:35

And fire came forth from the LORD and consumed the 250 men who were offering the incense.

Numbers 16:36

Then the LORD said to Moses,

Numbers 16:37

“Tell Eleazar son of Aaron the priest to remove the censers from the flames and to scatter the coals far away, because the censers are holy.

Numbers 16:38

As for the censers of those who sinned at the cost of their own lives, hammer them into sheets to overlay the altar, for these were presented before the LORD, and so have become holy. They will serve as a sign to the Israelites.”

Numbers 16:39

So Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers brought by those who had been burned up, and he had them hammered out to overlay the altar,

Numbers 16:40

Numbers 16:43

Then Moses and Aaron went to the front of the Tent of Meeting,

Numbers 16:44

and the LORD said to Moses,

Numbers 16:45

“Get away from this congregation so that I may consume them in an instant.” And Moses and Aaron fell facedown.

Numbers 16:46

Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer, place fire from the altar in it, and add incense. Go quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them, because wrath has come out from the LORD; the plague has begun.”

Numbers 16:47

So Aaron took the censer as Moses had ordered and ran into the midst of the assembly. And seeing that the plague had begun among the people, he offered the incense and made atonement for the people.

Numbers 16:48

He stood between the living and the dead, and the plague was halted.

Numbers 16:49

But those who died from the plague numbered 14,700, in addition to those who had died on account of Korah.

Numbers 16:50

Then Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, since the plague had been halted.

Numbers 17:1

And the LORD said to Moses,

Numbers 17:2

“Speak to the Israelites and take from them twelve staffs, one from the leader of each tribe. Write each man’s name on his staff,

Numbers 17:3

and write Aaron’s name on the staff of Levi, because there must be one staff for the head of each tribe.

Numbers 17:4

Place the staffs in the Tent of Meeting in front of the Testimony, where I meet with you.

Numbers 17:5

The staff belonging to the man I choose will sprout, and I will rid Myself of the constant grumbling of the Israelites against you.”

Numbers 17:6

So Moses spoke to the Israelites, and each of their leaders gave him a staff—one for each of the leaders of their tribes, twelve staffs in all. And Aaron’s staff was among them.

Numbers 17:7

Then Moses placed the staffs before the LORD in the Tent of the Testimony.

Numbers 17:8

The next day Moses entered the Tent of the Testimony and saw that Aaron’s staff, representing the house of Levi, had sprouted, put forth buds, blossomed, and produced almonds.

Numbers 17:9

Then Moses brought out all the staffs from the LORD’s presence to all the Israelites. They saw them, and each man took his own staff.

Numbers 17:10

The LORD said to Moses, “Put Aaron’s staff back in front of the Testimony, to be kept as a sign for the rebellious, so that you may put an end to their grumbling against Me, lest they die.”

Numbers 17:11

So Moses did as the LORD had commanded him.

Numbers 17:12

Then the Israelites declared to Moses, “Look, we are perishing! We are lost; we are all lost!

Numbers 17:13

Anyone who comes near the tabernacle of the LORD will die. Are we all going to perish?”

Deuteronomy 18:1

The Levitical priests—indeed the whole tribe of Levi—shall have no portion or inheritance with Israel. They are to eat the offerings made by fire to the LORD; that is their inheritance.

Deuteronomy 18:2

Although they have no inheritance among their brothers, the LORD is their inheritance, as He promised them.

Deuteronomy 18:3

This shall be the priests’ share from the people who offer a sacrifice, whether a bull or a sheep: the priests are to be given the shoulder, the jowls, and the stomach.

Deuteronomy 18:4

You are to give them the firstfruits of your grain, new wine, and oil, and the first wool sheared from your flock.

Deuteronomy 18:5

Deuteronomy 18:8

They shall eat equal portions, even though he has received money from the sale of his father’s estate.

Hebrews 7:11

Now if perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood (for on this basis the people received the law), why was there still need for another priest to appear—one in the order of Melchizedek and not in the order of Aaron?

For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed as well.

Hebrews 7:13

He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.

Hebrews 7:14

For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, a tribe as to which Moses said nothing about priests.

Exodus 30:12

“When you take a census of the Israelites to number them, each man must pay the LORD a ransom for his life when he is counted. Then no plague will come upon them when they are numbered.

Exodus 30:13

Everyone who crosses over to those counted must pay a half shekel, according to the sanctuary shekel, which weighs twenty gerahs. This half shekel is an offering to the LORD.

Exodus 30:14

Everyone twenty years of age or older who crosses over must give this offering to the LORD.

Exodus 30:15

In making the offering to the LORD to atone for your lives, the rich shall not give more than a half shekel, nor shall the poor give less.

Exodus 30:16

Take the atonement money from the Israelites and use it for the service of the Tent of Meeting. It will serve as a memorial for the Israelites before the LORD to make atonement for your lives.”

Leviticus 4:20

He shall offer this bull just as he did the bull for the sin offering; in this way the priest will make atonement on their behalf, and they will be forgiven.

Numbers 15:25

The priest is to make atonement for the whole congregation of Israel, so that they may be forgiven; for the sin was unintentional and they have brought to the LORD an offering made by fire and a sin offering, presented before the LORD for their unintentional sin.
