Numbers 16:5-11
New King James Version
5 and he spoke to Korah and all his company, saying, “Tomorrow morning the Lord will show who is (A)His and who is (B)holy,[a] and will cause him to come near to Him. That one whom He chooses He will cause to (C)come near to Him. 6 Do this: Take censers, Korah and all your company; 7 put fire in them and put incense in them before the Lord tomorrow, and it shall be that the man whom the Lord chooses is the holy one. You take too much upon yourselves, you sons of Levi!”
8 Then Moses said to Korah, “Hear now, you sons of Levi: 9 Is it (D)a small thing to you that the God of Israel has (E)separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to Himself, to do the work of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the congregation to serve them; 10 and that He has brought you near to Himself, you and all your brethren, the sons of Levi, with you? And are you seeking the priesthood also? 11 Therefore you and all your company are gathered together against the Lord. (F)And what is Aaron that you complain against him?”

Numbers 16:5-11
King James Version
5 And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow 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.
6 This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;
7 And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the Lord to morrow: 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.
8 And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:
9 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 before the congregation to minister unto them?
10 And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?
11 For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the Lord: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?

5 and he spoke to Korah and all his group, saying, “Tomorrow morning the Lord will make known who is His, and (A)who is holy, and will bring that one near to Himself; indeed, (B)the one whom He will choose, He will bring near to Himself. 6 Do this: take censers for yourselves, Korah and [a]your whole group, 7 and put fire in them, and place incense upon them in the presence of the Lord tomorrow; and the man whom the Lord chooses shall be the one who is holy. [b](C)You have gone far enough, you sons of Levi!”
8 Then Moses said to Korah, “Hear now, you sons of Levi: 9 (D)Is it too small an honor for you that the God of Israel has singled you out from the congregation of Israel, (E)to bring you near to Himself, to perform the service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them; 10 and that He has brought you near, Korah, and all your brothers, sons of Levi, with you? But are you (F)seeking the priesthood as well? 11 Therefore you and your whole group are the ones gathered together (G)against the Lord; but as for Aaron, [c]who is he, that (H)you grumble against him?”
