3Who gathered themselues together against Moses, and against Aaron, and sayde vnto them, Ye take too much vpon you, seeing all the Congregation is holie, euery one of them, and the Lord is among them: wherfore then lift ye your selues aboue the Congregation of the Lord?

8Againe Moses saide vnto Korah, Heare, I pray you, ye sonnes of Leui.
9Seemeth it a small thing vnto you that the God of Israel hath separated you from the multitude of Israel, to take you neere to himselfe, to doe the seruice of the Tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the Congregation and to minister vnto them?
Deuteronomy 10:8, Isaiah 7:13, Deuteronomy 10:8, Isaiah 7:13, Ezekiel 44:10

13Is it a small thing that thou hast brought vs out of a lande that floweth with milke and honie, to kill vs in the wildernesse, except thou make thy selfe lord and ruler ouer vs also?
Acts 7:35, Acts 7:35, Exodus 16:3, Exodus 2:14, Numbers 11:5
14Also thou hast not brought vs vnto a land that floweth with milke and honie, neither giuen vs inheritance of fieldes and vineyardes: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come vp.

16And Moses said vnto Korah, Bee thou and al thy companie before the Lord: both thou, they, and Aaron to morowe:
1 Samuel 12:3, 1 Samuel 12:7, 1 Samuel 12:3, 1 Samuel 12:7, 2 Timothy 2:14
17And take euery man his censor, and put incense in them, and bring ye euery man his censor before the Lord, two hundreth and fiftie censors: thou also and Aaron, euery one his censor.
