Numbers 16:12-14
International Standard Version
12 So Moses sent for Eliab’s sons Dathan and Abiram, but they responded, “We’re not coming. 13 Is it such an insignificant thing that you brought us out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness? Now you’re trying to make yourself be a prince and rule over us, aren’t you? 14 You still haven’t brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor have you given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards. Do you really think that you can make these men look the other way?[a] We won’t go up.”

12 Then Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram,(A) the sons of Eliab. But they said, “We will not come!(B) 13 Isn’t it enough that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey(C) to kill us in the wilderness?(D) And now you also want to lord it over us!(E) 14 Moreover, you haven’t brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey(F) or given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards.(G) Do you want to treat these men like slaves[a]?(H) No, we will not come!(I)”
