41. But on the next day all the congregation of the children of ISRAEL murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, "You have killed The LORD's people!"

42. When the congregation was assembled against Moses and against Aaron, They looked toward the Tent of Meeting. Behold, the cloud covered it, and The LORD's glory appeared.

43. Moses and Aaron came to the front of the Tent of Meeting.

44. The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

45. "Get away from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment!" They fell on their faces.

46. Moses said to Aaron, "Take your censer, and put fire from off the altar in it, and lay incense on it, and carry it quickly to the congregation, and make atonement for them; for wrath has gone out from The LORD! The plague has begun."

47. Aaron did as Moses said, and ran into the middle of the assembly. Behold, the plague has begun among the people. He put on the incense, and made atonement for the people.

48. He stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.

49. Now those who died by the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides those who died about the matter of Korah.

50. Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and the plague was stopped.
