Wrath has come out from the Lord;(D) the plague(E) has started.” 47 So Aaron did as Moses said, and ran into the midst of the assembly. The plague had already started among the people,(F) but Aaron offered the incense and made atonement for them. 48 He stood between the living and the dead, and the plague stopped.(G) 49 But 14,700 people died from the plague, in addition to those who had died because of Korah.(H) 50 Then Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance to the tent of meeting, for the plague had stopped.[a]
