The plague, and Aaron standing between the dead and the living

염병이 시작되고 아론이 죽은 자와 산 자 사이에 섬

Numbers 16:41–50: on the next day all the congregation of the children of Israel murmurs against Moses and Aaron: you have killed the LORD’s people. As the congregation assembles against them, the cloud covers the Tent of Meeting and the LORD’s glory appears. The LORD tells them to get away from this congregation, that he may consume them in a moment, and they fall on their faces. Moses tells Aaron to take his censer with fire from the altar and incense and go quickly to the congregation to make atonement for them, for wrath has gone out from the LORD and the plague has begun. Aaron runs into the middle of the assembly, makes atonement for the people and stands between the dead and the living, and the plague is stayed. Those who died by the plague are 14,700, besides those who died about the matter of Korah, and Aaron returns to Moses at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

    41But on the next day all the congregation of the children of Israel complained against Moses and against Aaron, saying, “You have killed the LORD’s people!”

    42When the congregation was assembled against Moses and against Aaron, they looked toward the Tent of Meeting. Behold, the cloud covered it, and the LORD’s glory appeared.

    43Moses and Aaron came to the front of the Tent of Meeting.

    44The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

    45“Get away from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment!” They fell on their faces.

    46Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer, put fire from the altar in it, lay incense on it, carry it quickly to the congregation, and make atonement for them; for wrath has gone out from the LORD! The plague has begun.”

    47Aaron did as Moses said, and ran into the middle of the assembly. The plague had already begun among the people. He put on the incense, and made atonement for the people.

    48He stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.

    49Now those who died by the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, in addition to those who died about the matter of Korah.

    50Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and the plague was stopped.
