8 Moses said to Korah, "Listen, you Levites,
9 isn’t it enough for you that Israel’s God has separated you from the Israelite community to allow you to approach him, to perform the service of the Lord’s dwelling, and to serve before the community by ministering for them?
10 He has allowed you and all your fellow Levites with you to approach him. Yet you also seek the priesthood?
11 Thus you and your entire community have assembled against the Lord. But Aaron, what is he that you complain about him?"
12 Moses sent for Dathan and Abiram, Eliab’s sons. But they said, "We won’t come up!
13 Isn’t it enough that you’ve brought us up from a land full of milk and honey to kill us in the desert so that you’d also dominate us?
14 Moreover, you haven’t brought us to a land full of milk and honey, nor given us the inheritance of field and vineyard. Would you also gouge out the eyes of these men? We won’t come up!"
