Sermon on the Mount X

And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament:

A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;

And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, - men of renown:

And they gathered themselves together - against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them,

And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat:

And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

  

and the Lord - is among them: where-fore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the Lord?

And the earth was without form, and void;

and  darkness was upon the face of the deep.

And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

And when Moses heard it, - he fell upon his face:

And Job spake, and said, Let the day perish wherein I was born,

And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even tomorrow the Lord will shew who are his, and who is holy; - and will cause him to come near unto him: - even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him.

This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;

And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the Lord tomorrow: and it shall be that the man - whom the Lord doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.

And Moses said unto Ko-rah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:

Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you - from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself - to do the service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand be-fore the congregation to minister unto them?

And the servant had said, It is my master: there-fore she took a veil, and covered herself.

And she a-rose, and went away, and laid by her veil - from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.

And he hath brought thee near to him, and all - thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood - also?

For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the Lord: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?

And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up:

Is it a small thing - that thou hast brought us up out of a land that flow-eth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thy-self al-together a prince over us?

Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that flow-eth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men?

we will not come up.

And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the Lord, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.

And Moses said unto Ko-rah, Be thou and all thy company before the Lord, thou, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow:

And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before the Lord every man his censer, - two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each of you his censer.

If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door.

And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense there-on, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron.

And Ko-rah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the Lord appeared unto all the congregation.

And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

Separate your-selves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.

Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye - for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
