⁷and place/put into in them fire, and do on them up incense before Hashem, tomorrow; and it will be, the man which Hashem will choose, he is the holy. enough you (PL), children of Levi!

⁸and Moshe has said to Korach: hear now, children of Levi.

⁹a little thing you (PL) which the the G-d of Yisroel has you (PL) separated from among the assembly of the children of Yisroel, you (PL) to make bring close to self, to serve the service of Tabernacle of Hashem, and to stand before the assembly, them to minister –

¹⁵has Moshe very much angered, and he has said to Hashem: you(SG) must self not turn to their gift offering; not an single one donkey have I taken from them, and not I have evil things done a single one of them.

¹⁶and Moshe has said to Korach: you (sg) with your all company/crowd are before Hashem tomorrow, you (sg) and them, and Aaron.

¹⁷and take each his censer/firepan, and you (PL) shall place on it incense, and bring before Hashem each his censer/firepan, two hundred and fifty firepans; also you (sg) and Aaron, each his censer/firepan.

¹⁹and Korach has gathered against them the whole assembly to entrance of Tent of Meeting; and the glory of Hashem has self appeared to the entire assembly.

²⁰and Hashem has spoken to Moshe and to Aaron, so to say:

²¹separate you (PL) away from among the this assembly, and I will them destroy/ravage in a moment.

²²are they fell on their faces, and have said: o G-d (El), the G-d of the (familiar) spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and on the entire assembly shall you (sg) be angry?

²³has Hashem spoken to Moshe, so to say:

²⁴speak to the assembly, so to say: go on away from round the dwelling of Korach, Datan, and Aviram.

²⁵is Moshe arose and is having gone to Datan and Aviram, and after him are having gone the elders of Yisroel.

²⁶and he has spoken to the assembly, so to say: step away, I entreat you (PL), from near the tents of the this wicked men, and you (PL) shall self not touch on all that which is theirs, so that you (PL) shall not ruined/destroyed become by all their sin.

²⁷have they withdrew from the dwelling of Korach, Datan, and Aviram, from around round; and Datan and Aviram are having come out, self standing in entrance of their tents, with their wives and their sons and their small children.

²⁸has Moshe said: by this will you (PL) know, that Hashem has me sent to do all the this deeds, that this is not of my heart/mind.

²⁹if so as all men die, will the these die, and the fate of all men will they fated be, has me Hashem not sent.

³⁰if but a (new) created thing will create Hashem, and the earth will open her mouth, and will swallow them and all that which is theirs, and they will go down alive in Sheol, will you (PL) know, that the these men have blasphemed/profaned Hashem.

³¹and it is having been as he has finished speaking all the this words, so has self split up the earth which under them.

³²and the earth has opened its mouth, and has swallowed up them, and their households, and all men which have belonged to Korach, and the entire possessions.

³³and they and all that which is theirs have gone down alive in Sheol, and the earth has they covered, and they are gone down from among the assembly.

³⁴and all Yisroel which around round them are fled from their sounds, because they have said: the earth will us yet swallow.
