Numbers 16:46-48

EasyEnglish Bible

⁴⁶ Moses said to Aaron, ‘Pick up your pot. Take coals with fire from the altar and put incense with them in the pot. Then take it quickly among all the people. Remove their sin so that God will forgive them. Be quick! The Lord is so angry with the people that he is already punishing them with a bad disease!’

⁴⁷ The bad disease was already killing some of the people. But Aaron did what Moses had told him to do. He took the pot of incense among the people to remove their sin. ⁴⁸ In that way, he stood between the people who had died and those who were still living. The bad disease stopped killing people.
