[The Pentateuch]

And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab / and they answered: we will not come. Seemeth it a small thing unto the that thou hast brought us out of a land that floweth with milk and honey / to kill us in y• wilderness. But that thou shouldest reign over us also? More over thou hast brought us unto no land that floweth with milk and honey / nether hast given us possessions of fields or of vines. Either wilt thou pull out the eyes of these men: we will ⟨image 279⟩not come.

And Moses sent to call Dathan ād Abiram the sonnes of Eliab / and they answered: we will not come. Semeth it a small thynge vnto the that thou hast broughte us out of a londe that floweth with mylke and honye / to kyll us in y• wildernesse. But that thou shuldest reygne ouer us also? More ouer thou hast broughte us vnto no londe that floweth with mylke and honye / nether hast geuen us possessions of feldes or of vynes. Echer wilt thou pull out the eyes of these men: we wyll ⟨image 279⟩not come.

And Moses waxed very angry and said unto the Lord: Turn not unto their offerings. I have not taken so much as an ass¹ from them / nether have vexed any of them. Then Moses said unto Corah: Be thou and all thy company before the Lord: both thou / they and Aaron to morrow. And take every man his censer and put cense in them / & come before the Lord every man with his censer: two hundred and fifty censers / and Aaron with his censer. And they toke every man his censer and put fire in them & laid cense thereon / and stood in the door of the tabernacle of witness / and Moses & Aaron also. And Corah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of witness.
