45 “Get away from these people, and let me destroy them in an instant!” Immediately, they bowed with their faces touching the ground.
46 Moses said to Aaron, “Take your incense burner, put burning coals from the altar and incense in it, and go quickly into the community to make peace with the Lord for the people. The Lord is showing his anger; a plague has started.”
47 Aaron took his incense burner, as Moses told him, and ran into the middle of the assembly, because the plague had already begun among the people. He put incense on the incense burner to make peace with the Lord for the people.
48 He stood between those who had died and those who were still alive, and the plague stopped.
49 Still, 14,700 died from the plague in addition to those who had died because of Korah.
50 By the time Aaron came back to Moses at the entrance to the tent of meeting, the plague had stopped.
