Moses

It is a remembrance vnto the children of Israel, that no stranger which is not of the seede of Aaron, come neere to offer incense before the Lord, that he be not like Korah and his company, as the Lord said to him by the hand of Moses.

But on the morowe all the multitude of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye haue killed the people of the Lord.

And when the Congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, then they turned their faces toward the Tabernacle of the Congregation: and beholde, the cloude couered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.

Then Moses and Aaron were come before the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

And Moses said vnto Aaron, Take the censer and put fire therein of the Altar, and put therein incense, and goe quickly vnto the Congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the Lord: the plague is begunne.

Then Aaron tooke as Moses commanded him, and ranne into the middes of the Congregation, and beholde, the plague was begun among the people, and hee put in incense, and made an atonement for the people.

And Aaron went againe vnto Moses before the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the plague was stayed.

And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

Then Moses spake vnto the children of Israel, and al their princes gaue him a rod, one rod for euery Prince, according to the houses of their fathers, euen twelue rods, and the rod of Aaron was among their roddes.

And Moses layde the rods before the Lord in the Tabernacle of the Testimonie.

And when Moses on the morow went into the Tabernacle of the Testimonie, beholde, the rod of Aaron for the house of Leui was budded, and brought forth buddes, and brought forth blossoms, and bare ripe almondes.

Then Moses brought out all the rods from before the Lord vnto all the children of Israel: and they looked vpon them, and tooke euery man his rodde.

After, the Lord said vnto Moses, Bring Aarons rod againe before the Testimonie to bee kept for a token to the rebellious children, and thou shalt cause their murmurings to cease from me, that they dye not.

So Moses did as the Lord had commanded him: so did he.

And the children of Israel spake vnto Moses, saying, Behold, we are dead, we perish, we are all lost:

And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

And the Lord spake to Moses, and to Aaron, saying,

But there was no water for the Congregation, and they assembled them selues against Moses and against Aaron.

And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God we had perished, when our brethren died before the Lord.

Then Moses and Aaron went from the assemblie vnto the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and fell vpon their faces: and the glory of the Lord appeared vnto them.

And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

Then Moses tooke the rod from before the Lord, as he had commanded him.

And Moses and Aaron gathered the Congregation together before the rocke, and Moses sayd vnto them, Heare nowe, ye rebels: shall we bring you water out of this rocke?

Then Moses lift vp his hande, and with his rod he smote the rocke twise, and the water came out aboundantly: so the Congregation, and their beastes dranke.
