16 1 Now there betook-himself Qoraḥ son of Yitshar son of Qehat son of Levi, and Datan and Aviram the sons of Eliav and On son of Pelet, the sons of Re’uven 2 to rise up before Mosheh with men-of-stature from the Children of Yisra’el, fifty and two hundred, leaders of the community, those Called in the Appointed-council, men of name. 3 They assembled against Mosheh and against Aharon and said to them: “Too much (is) yours! Indeed, the entire community, the entirety-of-them, are holy, and in their midst is YHVH! Why then do you exalt yourselves over the assembly of YHVH?”

4 Now when Mosheh heard, he flung himself on his face. 5 Then he spoke to Qoraḥ and to his entire community, saying: “At daybreak YHVH will make-known who is his and who is holy and he will declare-him-near to him; the one that he chooses, he will declare-near to him. 6 This, do: Take yourselves (fire-)pans, Qoraḥ and his entire community, 7 and put fire in them, placing incense on them, before the presence of YHVH, tomorrow. And it shall be: the man whom YHVH chooses, he is the holy-one. Too much (is) yours, Sons of Levi!”

8 And Mosheh said to Qoraḥ: “Pray hearken, Sons of Levi: 9 Is it too little for you that the elo’ah of Yisra’el has separated you from the community of Yisra’el to bring you near to him, to serve the serving-tasks of the Mishkan of YHVH, to stand before the community, to attend on them? 10 He has brought-near you and all your brothers, the Sons of Levi, with you — would you seek the priesthood as well? 11 Truly, (it is) you and your entire community that come-together against YHVH — as for Aharon, what is (wrong) with him that you should grumble against him!”

12 Mosheh sent to call Datan and Aviram, the sons of Eliav, but they said: “We will not go up! 13 Is it too little that you have brought us up from a land flowing with milk and honey to cause-our-death in the wilderness? that you should play-the-prince over us, even the prince? 14 Then too, not to a land flowing with milk and honey have you brought us, (nor) have you given us an inheritance of field and vineyard. The eyes of these men, would you gouge out? We will not go up!”

15 Then Mosheh became exceedingly upset, he said to YHVH: “Do not turn your face toward their grain-gift — not (even) one donkey of theirs have I carried off, I have not done ill to (even) one of them!” 16 Mosheh said to Qoraḥ: “You and your entire community, be (there) before the presence of YHVH, you and they and Aharon, tomorrow. 17 And take, each-man, his pan, place on them smoking-incense, and bring-it-near, before the presence of YHVH, each-man his pan, fifty and two hundred pans, and (also) you and Aharon, each-man his pan.”

|
18 So they took each-man his pan, placing on them fire, putting on them smoking-incense, and stood at the entrance to the Ohel Mo’ed, as (did) Mosheh and Aharon. 19 And Qoraḥ and his entire community assembled against them, at the entrance to the Ohel Mo’ed. Now the Kavod of YHVH was seen by the entire community;

20 and YHVH said to Mosheh and to Aharon, saying: 21 “Separate (yourselves) from the midst of this community, that I may finish them off in an instant!” 22 They flung themselves on their faces and said: “O El, elo’ah of the spirits of all flesh, when one man sins, at the entire community will you be furious?”

23 YHVH spoke to Mosheh, saying: 24 “Speak to the community, saying: ‘Go up from around the dwelling-place of Qoraḥ, Datan and Aviram!'”

25 Mosheh arose and went to Datan and Aviram, and there went after him the elders of Yisra’el. 26 And he spoke to the community, saying: “Pray turn away from the tents of these wicked men, do not touch anything that is theirs, lest you be swept away for all their sins!” 27 They went up from the dwellings of Qoraḥ, Datan and Aviram, all around. Now Datan and Aviram had come out, stationed at the entrance to their tents, with their wives, their children, and their little-ones. 28 Mosheh said: “By this you shall know that (it is) YHVH (who) sent me to do all these deeds, that (it was) not from my (own) heart: 29 if like the death of all humans these-men die, and the calling-to-account of all humans is accounted upon them, (it is) not YHVH (who) has sent me. 30 But if YHVH creates a new-creation, and the ground opens its mouth, and swallows up them and all that is theirs, and they go down alive into Sheol, then you will know that these men have scorned YHVH.”

31 Now it was, just as he finished speaking all these words, there split the ground that was beneath them; 32 the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up them and their households, all the human beings that belonged to Qoraḥ and all the property. 33 So they went down, they and all theirs, alive, into Sheol; the earth covered them, and they perished from the midst of the assembly. 34 Now all Yisra’el that were around them fled at the sound-of-their-voice, for they said: “Lest the earth swallow us up!” 35 Now fire went out from before the presence of YHVH and consumed the fifty and two hundred men, those who had brought-near the incense.

17 1 YHVH spoke to Mosheh, saying: 2 “Speak to El’azar son of Aharon the priest, that he may set-aside the pans from the burned-remains, and the fire-coals, scatter yonder, for they have become-holy; 3 (as for) the pans of those-who-sinned, (at the cost of) their lives, make of them beaten plates, overlaid for the Mizbe’aḥ, for they were brought-near before the presence of YHVH, and have become-holy. Let them be a sign for the Children of Yisra’el!”
|

|
4 So El’azar the priest took the bronze pans that the burned-men had brought near, and he beat them as overlay for the Mizbe’aḥ, 5 a reminder for the Children of Yisra’el, in order that no outside man might come-near who is not of the seed of Aharon to turn smoking-incense into smoke before the presence of YHVH, and so that he not become like Qoraḥ and like his community, as YHVH spoke through the hand of Mosheh to him.

6 But all the Children of Yisra’el grumbled on the morrow against Mosheh and against Aharon, saying: “(It is) you (who) caused-the-death of YHVH’s people!” 7 Now it was, when the community assembled against Mosheh and against Aharon, that they turned toward the Ohel Mo’ed, and here: the cloud had covered it, and the Kavod of YHVH could be seen! 8 Then Mosheh and Aharon came to the front of the Ohel Mo’ed.

9 And YHVH spoke to Mosheh, saying: 10 “Move-aside from the midst of this community, that I may finish them off in an instant! They flung themselves upon their faces.”

11 Mosheh said to Aharon: “Take (your) pan and place upon it fire from the Mizbe’aḥ, putting smoking-incense (there); go quickly to the community and effect-appeasement for them, for the fury is (still) going-out from the presence of YHVH, the plague has begun!” 12 Aharon took (it), as Mosheh had spoken, and he ran to the midst of the assembly: and here, the plague had begun among the people! So he put the smoking-incense (in it), and effected-appeasement for the people: 13 now he stood between the dead and the living, and the plague was held-back. 14 Now those that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, aside from those that died in the matter of Qoraḥ. 15 Aharon returned to Mosheh, to the entrance of the Ohel Mo’ed, since the plague was held-back.

16 Now YHVH spoke to Mosheh, saying: 17 “Speak to the Children of Yisra’el, take from them a staff, a staff (each) per Fathers’ House from all their leaders, for their Father’s House: twelve staffs, each-man-his name you are to write upon the staffs. 18 And the name of Aharon you are to write upon the staff of Levi, indeed, one staff for (each) head of their Fathers’ House. 19 You are to put them in the Ohel Mo’ed, before the Édut/Testimony, where I appoint-meeting with you. 20 Now it shall be: the man whom I choose, his staff will sprout; thus will I still from upon me the grumblings of the Children of Yisra’el that they set-grumbling against you (both).” 21 Mosheh spoke to the Children of Yisra’el, and they gave him, all the leaders, a staff per (each) one leader, a staff per (each) one leader, for their Fathers’ House, twelve staffs, with the staff of Aharon in the midst of their staffs.

22 Mosheh laid out the staffs before the presence of YHVH, in the Ohel ha-Édut. 23 Now it was on the morrow: when Mosheh entered the Ohel ha-Édut, here: it had sprouted, the staff of Aharon, of the House of Levi! It had put-forth a sprouting-flower, it had blossomed a blossom, it had ripened almonds! 24 Mosheh brought out all the staffs from before the presence of YHVH to all the Children of Yisra’el; they saw (them), and each-man took his staff.

25 YHVH said to Mosheh: “Return the staff of Aharon before the Testimony to be safeguarded as a sign for the rebellious-folk, that their grumblings may be finished from me, so that they do not die!” 26 Mosheh did it, according to all that YHVH commanded him, so he did.

27 But the Children of Yisra’el said to Mosheh, saying: “Here, we expire, we perish, all of us perish! 28 Anyone who comes-near, comes-near (at all) to the Mishkan/Dwelling of YHVH will die; will there be an end to our expiring?”

18 1 YHVH said to Aharon: “You and your sons and your father’s house along with you are to bear any iniquity (pertaining to) the Holy-area; you and your sons after you are to bear any iniquity (pertaining to) your priesthood. 2 And also your brothers, the stock of Levi, the tribe of your father, bring-near with you, they are to be-joined to you and are to act-as-attendants for you, you and your sons along with you in front of the Ohel ha-Édut. 3 They are to keep your charge and the charge of the entire Ohel/Tent, but: to the implements of holiness and to the Mizbe’aḥ, they are not to come-near, that they not die — so they, so you! 4 They are to be-joined to you, that they may keep the charge of the Ohel Mo’ed, including all the serving-tasks of the Ohel; an outsider is not to come-near with you, 5 but you are to keep the charge of the Holy-shrine and the charge of the Mizbe’aḥ, that there be no further fury against the Children of Yisra’el.”

8 YHVH spoke to Aharon: “Now I, I hereby give over to you the charge of my contributions, including all the holy-donations (from) the Children of Yisra’el, to you I give them, as an anointed-share, and to your sons, as an allotment for the ages. 9 This shall be yours from the holiest holy-offerings, from the fire: including their every near-offering, including their every grain-gift, including their every ḥattat-offering and including their every asham-offering that they remit to me, it is a holiest holy-portion, for you and for your sons. 10 In the holiest state-of-holiness you are to eat it, every male may eat it, holy shall it be for you.”

14 “Everything specially-devoted in Yisra’el — it is for you. 15 Every breacher of a womb of all flesh that you bring-near for YHVH, of human and of domesticated-animal, for you it shall be. However, you are to redeem, yes, redeem the firstborn of humans, and the firstborn of tamei animals, you are to redeem. 16 And its redemption-price, from the age of a month you are to redeem, in your assessment: silver, five sheqels by the Holy-shrine sheqel, — twenty grains it is. 17 However, the firstborn of oxen, the firstborn of sheep, or the firstborn of goats you are not to redeem, (already) holy are they, their blood you are to dash on the Mizbe’aḥ, their fat you are to turn-into-smoke, a fire-offering as soothing savor for YHVH, 18 and their meat is to be for you, like the breast of the elevation-offering, like the right thigh, it shall be for you. 19 All the contributions of the holy-things that the Children of Yisra’el set-aside for YHVH I give to you and to your sons and to your daughters along with you, as an allotment for the ages: it is a ‘covenant of salt’ for the ages, before the presence of YHVH, for you and for your seed after you.”

20 And YHVH said to Aharon: “In their land you are not to receive-inheritance, no portion-of-land shall be yours in their midst: I am your portion and your inheritance in the midst of the Children of Yisra’el. 21 And to the Sons of Levi, here: I give over all tithes in Yisra’el, as an inheritance, in exchange for their serving-tasks that they serve, the serving-tasks of the Ohel Mo’ed. 22 The Children of Yisra’el are no longer to come-near the Ohel Mo’ed, to bear sin, to die. 23 The Levite, he (alone) is to serve the serving-tasks of the Ohel Mo’ed, it is they who will bear their iniquity, a law for the ages, throughout their generations: but in the midst of the Children of Yisra’el they are not to inherit a (land-)inheritance. 24 For the tithing of the Children of Yisra’el that they set-aside for YHVH (as) a contribution, I give over to the Levites as an inheritance; therefore I have said to them: in the midst of the Children of Yisra’el they are not to inherit a (land-)inheritance.”

25 YHVH spoke to Mosheh, saying: 26 “To the Levites you are to speak, saying to them: ‘When you take from the Children of Yisra’el the tithe that I am giving you from them, as your inherited-share, you are to set-aside from it (as) a contribution for YHVH a tenth from the tithe; 27 it will be reckoned to you as your contribution, like grain from the threshing-floor, like fully-fermented (grapes) from the vat. 28 Thus you are to set-aside, on your part, the contribution of YHVH, from all your tithes that you take from the Children of Yisra’el, and are to give from them the contribution of YHVH to Aharon the priest. 29 From all your gifts you are to set-aside every contribution of YHVH, from all its choice-parts, its holy-part from it.’ 30 And you are to say to them: ‘When you set-aside the choice-part from it, it is to be reckoned for the Levites like the produce of the threshing-floor, like the produce of the vat. 31 You may eat it in any place, you and your household, for it is a wage for you, in exchange for your serving-tasks in the Ohel Mo’ed. 32 You will not bear on account of it (any) sin once you set-aside its choice-part from it, that you not profane the holy-donations of the Children of Yisra’el, and you not die.'”
