The Message
Numbers 16:45-48
The Message
43-45 Moses and Aaron stood at the front of the Tent of Meeting. God spoke to Moses: “Back away from this congregation so that I can do away with them this very minute.”
They threw themselves facedown on the ground.
46 Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer and fill it with incense, along with fire from the Altar. Get to the congregation as fast as you can: make atonement for them. Anger is pouring out from God—the plague has started!”
47-48 Aaron grabbed the censer, as directed by Moses, and ran into the midst of the congregation. The plague had already begun. He put burning incense into the censer and atoned for the people. He stood there between the living and the dead and stopped the plague.

Numbers 16:45-47
New International Version
45 “Get away from this assembly so I can put an end(A) to them at once.” And they fell facedown.
46 Then Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer(B) and put incense in it, along with burning coals from the altar, and hurry to the assembly(C) to make atonement(D) for them. Wrath has come out from the Lord;(E) the plague(F) has started.” 47 So Aaron did as Moses said, and ran into the midst of the assembly. The plague had already started among the people,(G) but Aaron offered the incense and made atonement for them.
