46 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take the censer and put fire therein of the [a]Altar, and put therein incense, and go quickly unto the Congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the Lord: the plague is begun.

47 Then Aaron took as Moses commanded him, and ran into the midst of the Congregation, and behold, the [b]plague was begun among the people, and he put incense, and made an atonement for the people.
