¹ Aga Korah, Jishari poeg, kes oli Leevi poja Kehati poeg, ja Daatan ja Abiram, Eliabi pojad, ja Oon, Peleti poeg Ruubeni poegadest, võtsid kätte

² ja tõusid üles Moosese palge ees, nõndasamuti kakssada viiskümmend meest Iisraeli lastest, koguduse vürstid, kogudusest kutsutud nimekad mehed,

³ ja nad kogunesid Moosese ja Aaroni vastu ning ütlesid neile: 'Nüüd on küllalt! Sest terve kogudus - nad kõik on pühad ja Issand on nende keskel! Mispärast tõstate siis teie endid Issanda koguduse üle?'

⁴ Kui Mooses seda kuulis, siis ta heitis silmili maha

⁵ ja rääkis Korahi ning kogu ta jõuguga, öeldes: 'Homme ilmutab Issand, kes on tema oma, kes on püha ja keda ta laseb enesele ligineda. Kelle ta välja valib, seda ta laseb enesele ligineda.

⁶ Tehke nõnda: võtke enestele suitsutuspannid, Korah ja kogu ta jõuk,

⁷ tehke neisse tuli ja pange homme nende peale suitsutusrohtu Issanda ees; siis on see mees, kelle Issand välja valib, püha! Nüüd on sellest küllalt, Leevi pojad!'

⁸ Ja Mooses ütles Korahile: 'Kuulge ometi, Leevi pojad!

⁹ Ons teil vähe sellest, et Iisraeli Jumal teid on eraldanud Iisraeli kogudusest, lastes teid enesele ligineda, toimetama Issanda elamu teenistust ja seisma koguduse ees, et seda teenida?

¹⁰ Ta on lasknud ligineda sind ja kõiki su vendi, Leevi poegi, koos sinuga. Ja nüüd te nõuate ka preestriametit!

¹¹ Sellepärast olete sina ja kogu su jõuk kogunenud Issanda vastu, sest kes on Aaron, et te nurisete tema vastu?'

¹² Ja Mooses läkitas kutsuma Daatanit ja Abirami, Eliabi poegi. Aga need ütlesid: 'Me ei tule!

¹³ Ons veel vähe, et oled meid toonud ära maalt, mis piima ja mett voolab, et meid kõrbes suretada, et sa tahad ennast teha ka veel valitsejaks meie üle?

¹⁴ Ei, sa ei ole meid viinud maale, mis piima ja mett voolab, ega ole meile andnud pärisosaks põlde ja viinamägesid! Kas tahad neil inimestel silmad välja torgata? Me ei tule!'

¹⁵ Siis Moosese viha süttis väga põlema ja ta ütles Issandale: 'Ära hooli nende roaohvreist! Ei ole ma neilt võtnud ühtegi eeslit ega ole ühelegi neist kurja teinud!'

¹⁶ Ja Mooses ütles Korahile: 'Sina ja kogu su jõuk olge homme Issanda ees, sina ja nemad ja Aaron,

¹⁷ ja igamees võtku oma suitsutuspann, pangu selle peale suitsutusrohtu ja igamees toogu Issanda ette oma suitsutuspann, kakssada viiskümmend suitsutuspanni, ka sina ja Aaron kumbki oma suitsutuspann!'

¹⁸ Siis nad võtsid igamees oma suitsutuspanni, tegid sellesse tule, panid selle peale suitsutusrohtu ja astusid kogudusetelgi ukse ette, ka Mooses ja Aaron.

¹⁹ Ja Korah kogus nende vastu terve koguduse kogudusetelgi ukse ette. Siis Issanda auhiilgus ilmutas ennast tervele kogudusele.

²⁰ Ja Issand rääkis Moosese ja Aaroniga, öeldes:

²¹ 'Lahkuge sellest jõugust, siis ma hävitan nad silmapilkselt!'

²² Aga nad heitsid silmili maha ja ütlesid: 'Jumal, kõige liha vaimude Jumal! Kui üks mees pattu teeb, kas sa vihastud siis terve koguduse peale?'

²³ Ja Issand rääkis Moosesega, öeldes:

²⁴ 'Räägi kogudusega ja ütle: Minge ära Korahi, Daatani ja Abirami elukoha ümbrusest!'

²⁵ Siis Mooses tõusis ja läks Daatani ja Abirami juurde, ja Iisraeli vanemad järgnesid temale.

²⁶ Ja ta rääkis kogudusega, öeldes: 'Minge nüüd eemale nende jultunud meeste telkide juurest ja ärge puudutage midagi, mis on nende oma, et teid ei hävitataks kõigi nende pattude pärast!'

²⁷ Siis läksid nad ära Korahi, Daatani ja Abirami elukoha ümbrusest; aga Daatan ja Abiram tulid välja ja seisid oma telkide uste ees, ka nende naised, lapsed ja imikud.

²⁸ Ja Mooses ütles: 'Et Issand on mind läkitanud tegema kõiki neid tegusid ja et ma ei tee neid omast tahtest, seda te saate teada sellest:

²⁹ kui nad surevad, nagu kõik inimesed surevad, ja kõigi muude inimeste karistus tabab ka neid, siis ei ole Issand mind läkitanud.

³⁰ Aga kui Issand laseb sündida midagi erakorralist ja maa avab oma suu ja neelab nemad ja kõik, mis neil on, nõnda et nad lähevad elusalt alla hauda, siis te teate, et need inimesed on põlanud Issandat!'

³¹ Ja kui ta oli rääkinud kõik need sõnad, siis sündis, et nende all olev maa lõhkes

³² ja maa avas oma suu ja neelas ära nemad ja nende kojad ja kõik inimesed, kes kuulusid Korahile, ja kogu varanduse.

³³ Nõnda läksid nemad ja kõik, mis neil oli, elusalt hauda ja maa kattis nad ning nad hävitati koguduse hulgast.

³⁴ Ja kogu Iisrael, kes oli nende ümber, põgenes nende kisa tõttu, sest nad ütlesid: 'Et maa ei neelaks ka meid!'

³⁵ Ja Issanda juurest läks välja tuli ning põletas need kakssada viiskümmend meest, kes oli ohverdanud suitsutusrohtu.

¹ They took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.

² The whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;

³ and the children of Israel said to them, "We wish that we had died by the hand of Yahweh in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat pots, when we ate our fill of bread, for you have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger."

⁴ Then Yahweh said to Moses, "Behold, I will rain bread from the sky for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.

⁵ It shall come to pass on the sixth day, that they shall prepare that which they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily."

⁶ Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, "At evening, then you shall know that Yahweh has brought you out from the land of Egypt;

⁷ and in the morning, then you shall see the glory of Yahweh; because he hears your murmurings against Yahweh. Who are we, that you murmur against us?"

⁸ Moses said, "Now Yahweh shall give you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfy you; because Yahweh hears your murmurings which you murmur against him. And who are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against Yahweh."

⁹ Moses said to Aaron, "Tell all the congregation of the children of Israel, 'Come near before Yahweh, for he has heard your murmurings.'"

¹⁰ It happened, as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of Yahweh appeared in the cloud.

¹¹ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹² "I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel. Speak to them, saying, 'At evening you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread: and you shall know that I am Yahweh your God.'"

¹³ It happened at evening that quail came up and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay around the camp.

¹⁴ When the dew that lay had gone, behold, on the surface of the wilderness was a small round thing, small as the frost on the ground.

¹⁵ When the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, "What is it?" For they didn't know what it was. Moses said to them, "It is the bread which Yahweh has given you to eat."

¹⁶ This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded: "Gather of it everyone according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, you shall take it, every man for those who are in his tent."

¹⁷ The children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less.

¹⁸ When they measured it with an omer, he who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack. They gathered every man according to his eating.

¹⁹ Moses said to them, "Let no one leave of it until the morning."

²⁰ Notwithstanding they didn't listen to Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul: and Moses was angry with them.

²¹ They gathered it morning by morning, everyone according to his eating. When the sun grew hot, it melted.

²² It happened that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one, and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.

²³ He said to them, "This is that which Yahweh has spoken, 'Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to Yahweh. Bake that which you want to Bake, and boil that which you want to boil; and all that remains over lay up for yourselves to be kept until the morning.'"

²⁴ They laid it up until the morning, as Moses asked, and it didn't become foul, neither was there any worm in it.

²⁵ Moses said, "Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to Yahweh. today you shall not find it in the field.

²⁶ Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath. In it there shall be none."

²⁷ It happened on the seventh day, that some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.

²⁸ Yahweh said to Moses, "How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?

²⁹ Behold, because Yahweh has given you the Sabbath, therefore he gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days. Everyone stay in his place. Let no one go out of his place on the seventh day."

³⁰ So the people rested on the seventh day.

³¹ The house of Israel called its name Manna, and it was like coriander seed, white; and its taste was like wafers with honey.

³² Moses said, "This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded, 'Let an omer-full of it be kept throughout your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.'"

³³ Moses said to Aaron, "Take a pot, and put an omer-full of manna in it, and lay it up before Yahweh, to be kept throughout your generations."

³⁴ As Yahweh commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

³⁵ The children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.

³⁶ Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
