⁶ And Moses said to Aaron and to Eleazar and Ithamar his sons, ^(A)“Do not let the hair of your heads hang loose, and do not tear your clothes, lest you die, and ^(B)wrath come upon all the congregation; but let your brothers, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning that the Lord has kindled.

⁴⁶ And Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer, and put fire on it from off the altar and lay incense on it and carry it quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them, for ^(A)wrath has gone out from the Lord; the plague has begun.”

⁵ And you shall ^(A)keep guard over the sanctuary and over the altar, ^(B)that there may never again be wrath on the people of Israel.

²² “At ^(A)Taberah also, and at ^(B)Massah and at ^(C)Kibroth-hattaavah you provoked the Lord to wrath.
