Numbers 16:15-17 New English Translation
15 Moses was very angry, and he said to the Lord, “Have no respect[a] for their offering! I have not taken so much as one donkey from them, nor have I harmed any one of them!”
16 Then Moses said to Korah, “You and all your company present yourselves before the Lord—you and they, and Aaron—tomorrow. 17 And each of you[b] take his censer, put[c] incense in it, and then each of you present his censer before the Lord: 250 censers, along with you, and Aaron—each of you with his censer.”
