Numbers 16:12-14

Common English Bible

Test of priesthood

¹² Moses sent for Dathan and Abiram, Eliab’s sons. But they said, “We won’t come up! ¹³ Isn’t it enough that you’ve brought us up from a land full of milk and honey to kill us in the desert so that you’d also dominate us? ¹⁴ Moreover, you haven’t brought us to a land full of milk and honey, nor given us the inheritance of field and vineyard. Would you also gouge out the eyes of these men? We won’t come up!”
