Rebellion of Dathan and Abiram. 12 Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, but they answered, “We will not go.[a] 13 Are you not satisfied that you have brought us here from a land flowing with milk and honey to have us perish in the wilderness, that now you must also lord it over us? 14 Far from bringing us to a land flowing with milk and honey, or giving us fields and vineyards for our inheritance, will you gouge out our eyes?[b] No, we will not go.”

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)”
