Korah’s Rebellion

1 Now (A)Korah the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with (B)Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took action, 2 and they rose up before Moses, (a)together with some of the sons of Israel, two hundred and fifty leaders of the congregation, (b)(C)chosen in the assembly, men of renown. 3 They assembled together (D)against Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “(c)(E)You have gone far enough, for all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and (F)the Lord is in their midst; so why do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the Lord?”
