## Numbers 16:12-15 in Context (Verses 9–18 KJV)
 
 [9 ](/kjv/numbers/16/9) *Seemeth it but* a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?
 
 [10 ](/kjv/numbers/16/10) And he hath brought thee near *to him*, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?
 
 [11 ](/kjv/numbers/16/11) 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 ](/kjv/numbers/16/12) ¶ And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up:
 
 [13 ](/kjv/numbers/16/13) *Is it* a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us?
 
 [14 ](/kjv/numbers/16/14) Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.*
 
 [15 ](/kjv/numbers/16/15) And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/numbers/16/16) And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:
 
 [17 ](/kjv/numbers/16/17) And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each *of you* his censer.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/numbers/16/18) And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron.
