04:016:044 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
04:016:045 Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.
04:016:046 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun.
04:016:047 And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people.
04:016:048 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
04:016:049 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.
04:016:050 And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.
04:017:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
04:017:002 Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod according to the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man's name upon his rod.
04:017:003 And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers.
