²²Hauing therefore obteined helpe of God, I continue vnto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things then those which the Prophets and Moses did say should come:

¹⁰¶ Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your God: your captaines of your tribes, your Elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel,

³⁴Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

³And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.

^4*Thy raiment waxed not old vpon thee, neither did thy foote swell these fourtie yeeres.

⁵Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.

²⁶I prayed therefore unto the Lord, and said, O Lord God, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

²⁶I prayed therefore vnto the LORD, and said, O LORD God, destroy not thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatnes, which thou hast brought foorth out of Egypt, with a mightie hand.

²⁰Which hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and hast made thee a name, as at this day;

³⁸Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.

³⁹He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.

⁴⁰The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

⁴¹He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.

⁴²For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.

⁴³And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:

⁴⁴And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;

⁴⁵That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the Lord.

^27*†They shewed his signes among them: and wonders in the land of Ham.

^28*Hee sent darknesse, and made it darke: and they rebelled not against his word.

^29*Hee turned their waters into blood: and slew their fish.

^30*The land brought foorth frogs in abundance: in the chambers of their kings.

⁹Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

⁹ Who sent tokens and woonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt: vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his seruants.

¹²Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

¹³He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.

¹²Marueilous things did he in the sight of their fathers: in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

^13*Hee diuided the Sea, and caused them to passe through: and he made the waters to stand as an heape.

²³¶ And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

²⁴And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the Lord looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,

²⁵And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians.

²⁶¶ And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.

²⁷And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

²⁸And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.

²⁹But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.

³⁰Thus the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.

³¹And Israel saw that great work which the Lord did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the Lord, and believed the Lord, and his servant Moses.

²³¶ And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them, to the midst of the Sea, euen all Pharaohs horses, his charets and his horsemen.

²⁴And it came to passe, that in the morning watch the LORD looked vnto the hoste of the Egyptians, through the pillar of fire, and of the cloude, and troubled the hoste of the Egyptians,

²⁵And tooke off their charet wheeles, ^‖that they draue them heauily: So that the Egyptians said, Let vs flee from the face of Israel: for the LORD fighteth for them, against the Egyptians.

²⁶¶ And the LORD saide vnto Moses, Stretch out thine hand ouer the Sea, that the waters may come againe vpon the Egyptians, vpon their charets, and vpon their horsemen.

²⁷And Moses stretched foorth his hand ouer the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared: and the Egyptians fled against it: and the LORD ^†ouerthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

²⁸And the waters returned, and couered the charets, and the horsemen, and all the hoste of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them: there remained not so much as ^*one of them.

²⁹But the children of Israel walked vpon drie land, in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall vnto them on their right hand, and on their left.

³⁰Thus the LORD saued Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians: and Israel sawe the Egyptians dead vpon the sea shore.

³¹And Israel saw that great ^†worke which the LORD did vpon the Egyptians: & the people feared the LORD, and beleeued the LORD, and his seruant Moses.

¹⁹For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.

¹⁹For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his charets and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought againe the waters of the Sea vpon them: But the children of Israel went on drie land in the mids of the sea.

⁹The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.

¹⁰Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.

⁹The enemie said, I will pursue, I wil ouertake, I wil diuide the spoile: my lust shall be satisfied vpon them: I will draw my sword, mine hand shall ^‖destroy them.

¹⁰Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea couered them, they sanke as lead in the mighty waters.

¹¹And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.

^11*And the waters couered their enemies: there was not one of them left.

⁴Pharaoh’s chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.

⁴Pharaohs charets and his hoste hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captaines also are drowned in the red Sea.

²⁹By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.

²⁹By faith they passed through the red sea, as by drie land: which the Egyptians assaying to do, were drowned.

³⁹He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.

⁴⁰The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

⁴¹He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.

^39*He spread a cloud for a couering: and fire to giue light in the night.

^40* The people asked, and he brought quailes: and satisfied them with the bread of heauen.

^41*He opened the rocke, and the waters gushed out: they ranne in the dry places like a riuer.

¹²Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.

¹³They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:

¹⁴But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.

¹⁵And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.

¹⁶They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the Lord.

¹⁷The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.

¹⁸And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.

¹⁹They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.

²⁰Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

²¹They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;

²²Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.

²³Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.

²⁴Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:

²⁵But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord.

²⁶Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:

²⁷To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.

²⁸They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

²⁹Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.

³⁰Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.

³¹And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.

³²They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:

³³Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.

³⁴They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the Lord commanded them:

³⁵But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.

³⁶And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.

³⁷Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,

³⁸And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.

³⁹Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.

⁴⁰Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.

⁴¹And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.

⁴²Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.

⁴³Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.

⁴⁴Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:

⁴⁵And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.

⁴⁶He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.

⁴⁷Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.

⁴⁸Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the Lord.

^12*Then beleeued they his words: they sang his praise.

^13*†They soone forgate his works: they waited not for his counsell:

^14*†But lusted exceedingly in the wildernes: & tempted God in the desert.

^15*And he gaue them their request: but sent leannesse into their soule.

^16*They enuied Moses also in the campe: and Aaron the Saint of the LORD.

^17*The earth opened and swallowed vp Dathan: and couered the company of Abiram.

^18*And a fire was kindled in their company: the flame burnt vp the wicked.

^19*They made a calfe in Horeb: and worshipped the molten image.

²⁰Thus they changed their glory, into the similitude of an oxe that eateth grasse.

²¹They forgate God their Sauiour: which had done great things in Egypt:

²²Wonderous workes in the lande of Ham: and terrible things by the red Sea.

^23*Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach: to turne away his wrath, lest hee should destroy them.

^24†Yea, they despised the pleasant land: they beleeued not his word:

^25*But murmured in their tents: and hearkened not vnto the voyce of the LORD.

²⁶Therefore he lifted vp his hande against them: to ouerthrow them in the wildernesse:

^27†To ouerthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.

^28*They ioyned themselues also vnto Baal-Peor: and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

²⁹Thus they prouoked him to anger with their inuentions: and the plague brake in vpon them.

^30*Then stood vp Phinehas, and executed iudgement: and so the plague was stayed.

³¹And that was counted vnto him for righteousnesse: vnto all generations for euermore.

^32*They angred him also at the waters of strife: so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:

³³Because they prouoked his spirit: so that hee spake vnaduisedly with his lippes.

^34*They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:

^35*But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their workes.

³⁶And they serued their idoles: which were a snare vnto them.

³⁷Yea they sacrificed their sonnes, and their daughters vnto deuils,

³⁸And shed innocent blood, euen the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whome they sacrificed vnto the idoles of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.

³⁹Thus were they defiled with their owne works: and went a whoring with their owne inuentions.

⁴⁰Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people: insomuch that he abhorred his owne inheritance.

⁴¹And he gaue them into the hand of the heathen: and they that hated them, ruled ouer them.

⁴²Their enemies also oppressed them: and they were brought into subiection vnder their hand.

^43*‖Many times did he deliuer them: but they prouoked him with their counsell, and were brought low for their iniquitie.

⁴⁴Neuertheles he regarded their affliction: when he heard their crie.

^45*And hee remembred for them his couenant: and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.

⁴⁶He made them also to be pitied, of all those that caried them captiues.

⁴⁷Saue vs, O LORD our God, and gather vs from among the heathen to giue thankes vnto thy holy Name: and to triumph in thy praise.

⁴⁸Blessed bee the LORD God of Israel from euerlasting to euerlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.

²⁰Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

^20*Thou leddest thy people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

¹⁴In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.

¹⁵He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.

¹⁶He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

¹⁷And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.

¹⁸And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.

¹⁹Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?

²⁰Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?

²¹Therefore the Lord heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;

²²Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:

²³Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,

²⁴And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.

²⁵Man did eat angels’ food: he sent them meat to the full.

²⁶He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.

²⁷He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:

²⁸And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.

²⁹So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;

³⁰They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,

³¹The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.

³²For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.

³³Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.

³⁴When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and inquired early after God.

³⁵And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.

³⁶Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.

³⁷For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.

³⁸But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.

³⁹For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

⁴⁰How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!

⁴¹Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.

⁴²They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.

⁴³How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan:

⁴⁴And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.

⁴⁵He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.

⁴⁶He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.

⁴⁷He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.

⁴⁸He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

⁴⁹He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.

⁵⁰He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;

⁵¹And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:

⁵²But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

⁵³And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

⁵⁴And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.

⁵⁵He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

⁵⁶Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:

⁵⁷But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

⁵⁸For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

⁵⁹When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:

⁶⁰So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;

⁶¹And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy’s hand.

⁶²He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.

⁶³The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.

⁶⁴Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.

⁶⁵Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.

⁶⁶And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach.

⁶⁷Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:

⁶⁸But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.

⁶⁹And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever.

⁷⁰He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:

⁷¹From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

⁷²So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.

^14*In the day time also he led them with a cloud: and all the night with a light of fire.

^15*Hee claue the rockes in the wildernes: and gaue them drinke as out of the great depthes.

¹⁶Hee brought streames also out of the rocke, and caused waters to runne downe like riuers.

¹⁷And they sinned yet more against him: by prouoking the most High in the wildernes.

¹⁸And they tempted God in their heart: by asking meat for their lust.

^19*†Yea, they spake against God: they said, Can God furnish a table in the wildernes?

^20*Behold, he smote the rocke, that the waters gushed out, & the streames ouerflowed; can he giue bread also? can he prouide flesh for his people?

²¹Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth, so a fire was kindled against Iacob: and anger also came vp against Israel.

²²Because they beleeued not in God: and trusted not in his saluation:

²³Though he had commanded the cloudes from aboue: and opened the doores of heauen:

^24*And had rained downe Manna vpon them to eate, and had giuen them of the corne of heauen.

^25*‖Man did eate Angels food: hee sent them meat to the full.

^26†He caused an East wind to blow in the heauen: and by his power hee brought in the South wind.

^27†He rained flesh also vpon them as dust: and feathered soules like as the sand of the sea.

²⁸And hee let it fall in the midst of their campe, round about their habitations.

²⁹So they did eate, & were well filled: for he gaue them their owne desire.

^30*They were not estranged from their lust: but while their meate was yet in their mouthes,

^31†‖The wrath of God came vpon them, and slew the fattest of them: and smote downe the chosen men of Israel.

³²For all this they sinned still: and beleeued not for his wondrous works.

³³Therefore their dayes did he consume in vanitie, and their yeeres in trouble.

³⁴When hee slew them, then they sought him: and they returned, and inquired early after God.

³⁵And they remembred that God was their rocke: and the high God, their redeemer.

³⁶Neuerthelesse they did flatter him with their mouth: and they lyed vnto him with their tongues.

³⁷For their heart was not right with him: neither were they stedfast in his couenant.

³⁸But hee being full of compassion, forgaue their iniquity, and destroyed them not; yea many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stirre vp all his wrath.

³⁹For he remembred that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and commeth not againe.

^40‖How oft did they prouoke him in the wildernesse: and grieue him in the desert?

⁴¹Yea they turned backe and tempted God: and limited the holy one of Israel.

^42‖They remembred not his hand: nor the day when hee deliuered them from the enemie:

^43†How he had wrought his signes in Egypt: and his wonders in the field of Zoan:

^44*And had turned their riuers into blood: and their flouds, that they could not drinke.

^45*Hee sent diuers sorts of flies among them, which deuoured them: and frogges which destroyed them.

^46*He gaue also their increase vnto the caterpiller: and their labour vnto the locust.

^47*†‖He destroyed their vines with haile: and their Sycomore trees with frost.

^48†‖He gaue vp their cattel also to the haile: and their flockes to hot thunder-bolts.

⁴⁹He cast vpon them the fiercenesse of his anger, wrath and indignation, and trouble: by sending euill angels among them.

^50†*He made a way to his anger, hee spared not their soule from death: but gaue their life ouer to the pestilence.

^51*And smote all the first borne in Egypt: the chiefe of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:

⁵²But made his owne people to goe forth like sheepe: and guided them in the wildernesse like a flocke.

^53*†And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea ouerwhelmed their enemies.

⁵⁴And he brought them to the border of his sanctuarie: euen to this mountaine which his right hand had purchased.

^55*He cast out the heathen also before them, and diuided them an inheritance by line: and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

⁵⁶Yet they tempted and prouoked the most high God: and kept not his testimonies:

⁵⁷But turned backe, and dealt vnfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitfull bowe.

^58*For they prouoked him to anger with their high places: and moued him to ielousie with their grauen images.

⁵⁹When God heard this, hee was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:

^60*So that he forsooke the tabernacle of Shiloh: the tent which he placed among men,

⁶¹And deliuered his strength into captiuitie: and his glory into the enemies hand.

⁶²He gaue his people ouer also vnto the sword: and was wroth with his inheritance.

^63†The fire consumed their young men: and their maidens were not giuen to mariage.

⁶⁴Their priests fell by the sword: and their widowes made no lamentation.

⁶⁵Then the LORD awaked as one out of sleepe: and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.

⁶⁶And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetuall reproch.

⁶⁷Moreouer he refused the tabernacle of Ioseph: and chose not the tribe of Ephraim.

⁶⁸But chose the tribe of Iudah: the mount Sion which he loued.

^69†And he built his sanctuarie like high palaces: like the earth which he hath established for euer.

^70*He chose Dauid also his seruant, and tooke him from the sheepe-folds:

^71*†From following the ewes great with young, hee brought him to feed Iacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

⁷²So he fed them according to the integritie of his heart: and guided them by the skilfulnesse of his hands.

⁹And the sons of Eliab; Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram. This is that Dathan and Abiram, which were famous in the congregation, who strove against Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korah, when they strove against the Lord:

¹⁰And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up together with Korah, when that company died, what time the fire devoured two hundred and fifty men: and they became a sign.

⁹And the sonnes of Eliab, Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram: this is that Dathan & Abiram, which were famous in the Congregation, who ^*stroue against Moses and against Aaron in the companie of Korah, when they stroue against the LORD:

¹⁰And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them vp together with Korah when that companie died, what time the fire deuoured two hundred and fiftie men: and they became a signe.

¹⁷The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.

^17*The earth opened and swallowed vp Dathan: and couered the company of Abiram.

¹NOW Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men:

²And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown:

³And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the Lord is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the Lord?

⁴And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:

⁵And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow the Lord will shew who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him.

⁶This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;

⁷And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the Lord to morrow: and it shall be that the man whom the Lord doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.

⁸And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:

⁹Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?

¹⁰And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?

¹¹For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the Lord: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?

¹²¶ And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up:

¹³Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us?

¹⁴Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.

¹⁵And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the Lord, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.

¹⁶And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the Lord, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:

¹⁷And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before the Lord every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each of you his censer.

¹⁸And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron.

¹⁹And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the Lord appeared unto all the congregation.

²⁰And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

²¹Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.

²²And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?

²³¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

²⁴Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.

²⁵And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.

²⁶And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.

²⁷So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children.

²⁸And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the Lord hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.

²⁹If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the Lord hath not sent me.

³⁰But if the Lord make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the Lord.

³¹¶ And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them:

³²And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.

³³They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.

³⁴And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.

³⁵And there came out a fire from the Lord, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.

¹¶ Now ^*Korah the sonne of Izhar, the sonne of Kohath, the sonne of Leui, and Dathan, and Abiram the sonnes of Eliab, and On the sonne of Peleth, sonnes of Reuben, tooke men.

²And they rose vp before Moses, with certaine of the children of Israel, two hundred and fiftie Princes of the assembly, ^*famous in the Congregation, men of renowne.

³And they gathered themselues together against Moses, and against Aaron, and said vnto them, ^† Ye take too much vpon you, seeing all the Congregation are holy euery one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherfore then lift you vp your selues aboue the Congregation of the LORD?

⁴And when Moses heard it, he fell vpon his face.

⁵And hee spake vnto Korah, and vnto all his company, saying, Euen to morrow the LORD will shew who are his, and who is holy, and will cause him to come neere vnto him: euen him whom he hath chosen, will he cause to come neere vnto him.

⁶This doe: take you censers, Korah, and all his company:

⁷And put fire therein, and put incense in them, before the LORD to morrow; And it shall be, that the man whom the LORD doeth choose, hee shall be holy: yee take too much vpon you, ye sonnes of Leui.

⁸And Moses saide vnto Korah, Heare, I pray you, ye sonnes of Leui.

⁹ Seemeth it but a small thing vnto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the Congregation of Israel, to bring you neere to himselfe, to doe the seruice of the Tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the Congregation to minister vnto them?

¹⁰And he hath brought thee neere to him, and all thy brethren the sonnes of Leui with thee: and seeke ye the Priesthood also?

¹¹For which cause both thou, and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmure against him?

¹²¶ And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram the sonnes of Eliab: which said, We will not come vp.

¹³ Is it a small thing that thou hast brought vs vp out of a land that floweth with milke and hony, to kill vs in the wildernesse, except thou make thy selfe altogether a prince ouer vs?

¹⁴Moreouer, thou hast not brought vs into a land that floweth with milke and hony, or giuen vs inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou ^†put out the eyes of these men? we will not come vp.

¹⁵And Moses was very wroth, and said vnto the LORD, ^*Respect not thou their offering: I haue not taken one asse from them, neither haue I hurt one of them.

¹⁶And Moses said vnto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron to morrow.

¹⁷And take euery man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring yee before the LORD euery man his censer, two hundred and fiftie censers, thou also and Aaron, each of you his censer.

¹⁸And they tooke euery man his censer, and put fire in them, and laide incense thereon, and stood in the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation with Moses and Aaron.

¹⁹And Korah gathered all the Congregation against them, vnto the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation: and the glory of the LORD appeared vnto all the Congregation.

²⁰And the LORD spake vnto Moses, and vnto Aaron, saying,

²¹Separate your selues from among this Congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.

²²And they fell vpon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shal one man sinne, and wilt thou be wroth with all the Congregation?

²³¶ And the LORD spake vnto Moses, saying,

²⁴Speake vnto the Congregation, saying, Get you vp from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.

²⁵And Moses rose vp, and went vnto Dathan and Abiram: and the Elders of Israel followed him.

²⁶And hee spake vnto the Congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sinnes.

²⁷So they gate vp from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on euery side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the doore of their tents, and their wiues, & their sonnes, and their little children.

²⁸And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to doe all these workes: for I haue not done them of mine owne mind.

²⁹If these men die ^†the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men, then the LORD hath not sent me:

³⁰But if the LORD ^†make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them vp, with all that appertaine vnto them, and they go downe quicke into the pit: then ye shall vnderstand that these men haue prouoked the LORD.

³¹¶ ^*And it came to passe as he had made an ende of speaking all these words, that the ground claue asunder that was vnder them:

³²And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them vp, and their houses, and all the men that appertained vnto Korah, and all their goods.

³³They, and all that appertained to them, went downe aliue into the pit, and the earth closed vpon them: and they perished from among the Congregation.

³⁴And all Israel that were round about them, fled at the crie of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow vs vp also.

³⁵And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fiftie men that offered incense.

³Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together against the Lord in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons.

³Our father ^*died in the wildernesse, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselues together against the LORD in the company of Korah: but died in his owne sinne, and had no sonnes.

¹²To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.

¹²To make knowen to the sonnes of men his mightie actes: and the glorious Maiestie of his kingdome.

⁴One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.

⁵I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.

⁶And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.

⁴One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shal declare thy mightie actes.

^5†I will speake of the glorious honour of thy maiestie: and of thy wonderous workes.

^6†And men shall speake of the might of thy terrible acts: and I wil declare thy greatnesse.

²Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.

²Praise him for his mightie actes: Praise him according to his excellent greatnesse.

³The Lord made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.

³The LORD made not this couenant with our fathers, but with vs: euen vs, who are all of vs here aliue this day.

¹⁹The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the Lord thy God brought thee out: so shall the Lord thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.
