సంఖ్యాకాండము 16
1 ౧ లేవీ మునిమనవడు, కహాతు మనవడు, ఇస్హారు కొడుకు కోరహు, రూబేనీయుల్లో ఏలీయాబు కొడుకులు దాతాను, అబీరాము, పేలెతు కొడుకు ఓనుతో కలిసి
൧എന്നാൽ ലേവിയുടെ മകനായ കെഹാത്തിന്റെ മകനായ യിസ്ഹാരിന്റെ മകൻ കോരഹ്, രൂബേൻ ഗോത്രത്തിൽ എലീയാബിന്റെ പുത്രന്മാരായ ദാഥാൻ, അബീരാം, പേലെത്തിന്റെ മകനായ ഓൻ എന്നിവർ
൨യിസ്രായേൽ മക്കളിൽ സഭാപ്രധാനികളും തിരഞ്ഞെടുക്കപ്പെട്ട പ്രതിനിധികളും പ്രമാണികളുമായ ഇരുനൂറ്റമ്പത് പുരുഷന്മാരെ കൂട്ടി മോശെയോട് മത്സരിച്ചു.
3 ౩ మోషే అహరోనులకు విరోధంగా సమకూడారు. “మీరు చాలా ఎక్కువ అధికారం చలాయిస్తున్నారు. ఈ సమాజంలో ఉన్న వారిందరూ పవిత్రులే. అందరూ యెహోవా కోసం ప్రత్యేకించిన వారే. యెహోవా వారి మధ్య ఉన్నాడు. యెహోవా సమాజం మీద మిమ్మల్ని మీరు ఎందుకు గొప్ప చేసుకుంటున్నారు?” అన్నారు.
൩അവർ മോശെക്കും അഹരോനും വിരോധമായി കൂട്ടംകൂടി അവരോട്: “മതി, മതി; സഭയിൽ എല്ലാവരും വിശുദ്ധരാകുന്നു; യഹോവ അവരുടെ മദ്ധ്യേ ഉണ്ട്; പിന്നെ നിങ്ങൾ യഹോവയുടെ സഭയ്ക്ക് മീതെ നിങ്ങളെത്തന്നെ ഉയർത്തുന്നത് എന്ത്?” എന്ന് പറഞ്ഞു.
൪ഇത് കേട്ടപ്പോൾ മോശെ കമിഴ്ന്നുവീണു.
5 ౫ “ఆయన వారు ఎవరో యెహోవా కోసం ప్రత్యేకించిన వారెవరో రేపు యెహోవా తెలియజేసి అతన్ని తన సన్నిధికి రానిస్తాడు. ఆయన తాను ఏర్పరచుకున్నవాణ్ణి తన దగ్గరికి చేర్చుకుంటాడు.
൫അവൻ കോരഹിനോടും എല്ലാ കൂട്ടരോടും പറഞ്ഞത്: “നാളെ രാവിലെ യഹോവ അവിടുത്തേക്കുള്ളവർ ആരെന്നും തിരുസന്നിധിയോട് അടുക്കുവാൻ യോഗ്യതയുള്ള വിശുദ്ധൻ ആരെന്നും കാണിക്കും; അവിടുന്ന് തിരഞ്ഞെടുക്കുന്നവനെ അവിടുത്തോട് അടുക്കുമാറാക്കും.
6 ౬ కోరహు, నువ్వూ నీ గుంపూ ఇలా చెయ్యండి, మీరు ధూపార్తులు తీసుకుని వాటిలో నిప్పు ఉంచి రేపు యెహోవా సన్నిధిలో వాటి మీద ధూపసాంబ్రాణి వెయ్యండి.
൬കോരഹും അവന്റെ എല്ലാ കൂട്ടരുമായുള്ളവരേ, ഇതു ചെയ്യുവിൻ:
7 ౭ అప్పుడు యెహోవా ఎవరిని ఏర్పాటు చేసుకుంటాడో అతనే పవిత్రుడు. లేవీ కొడుకులారా, మీరు చాలా దూరం వెళ్ళారు” అన్నాడు.
൭നാളെ യഹോവയുടെ സന്നിധിയിൽ ധൂപകലശം എടുത്ത് അതിൽ തീയിട്ട് ധൂപവർഗ്ഗം ഇടുവിൻ; യഹോവ തിരഞ്ഞെടുക്കുന്നവൻ തന്നെ വിശുദ്ധൻ; ലേവിപുത്രന്മാരേ, മതി, മതി!”
൮പിന്നെ മോശെ കോരഹിനോട് പറഞ്ഞത്: “ലേവിപുത്രന്മാരേ, കേൾക്കുവിൻ.
9 ౯ తన మందిరసేవ చెయ్యడానికి యెహోవా మిమ్మల్ని తన దగ్గరికి చేర్చుకోవడం చిన్న విషయమా? మీరు సమాజం ఎదుట నిలబడి వారు చెయ్యవలసిన సేవ చేసేలా ఇశ్రాయేలీయుల దేవుడు ఇశ్రాయేలీయుల సమాజంలోనుంచి మిమ్మల్ని ప్రత్యేక పరచుకోవడం మీకు తక్కువగా కనిపిస్తున్నదా?
൯യഹോവയുടെ തിരുനിവാസത്തിലെ വേലചെയ്യുവാനും സഭയുടെ ശുശ്രൂഷയ്ക്കായി അവരുടെ മുമ്പാകെ നില്ക്കുവാനും യിസ്രായേലിന്റെ ദൈവം നിങ്ങളെ തന്റെ അടുക്കൽ വരുത്തേണ്ടതിന് യിസ്രായേൽസഭയിൽനിന്ന് നിങ്ങളെ വേറുതിരിച്ചത് നിങ്ങൾക്ക് പോരായോ?
10 ౧౦ ఆయన నిన్నూ, నీతో లేవీయులైన నీ గోత్రం వారిందర్నీ చేర్చుకున్నాడు గదా. ఇప్పుడు మీరు యాజకత్వం కూడా కోరుతున్నారు.
൧൦അവിടുന്ന് നിന്നെയും ലേവിപുത്രന്മാരായ നിന്റെ സകലസഹോദരന്മാരെയും തന്നോട് അടുക്കുമാറാക്കിയല്ലോ; നിങ്ങൾ പൗരോഹിത്യംകൂടെ കാംക്ഷിക്കുന്നുവോ?
11 ౧౧ దీని కోసం నువ్వూ, నీ గుంపూ యెహోవాకు విరోధంగా పోగయ్యారు. మీరు అహరోనును ఎందుకు విమర్శిస్తున్నారు? అతడు కేవలం యెహోవాకు లోబడినవాడు” అన్నాడు.
൧൧ഇത് കാരണം നീയും നിന്റെ കൂട്ടരെല്ലാവരും യഹോവയ്ക്ക് വിരോധമായി കൂട്ടംകൂടിയിരിക്കുന്നു; നിങ്ങൾ അഹരോന്റെ നേരെ പിറുപിറുക്കുവാൻ തക്കവണ്ണം അവൻ എന്തുള്ളു?”.
൧൨പിന്നെ മോശെ എലീയാബിന്റെ പുത്രന്മാരായ ദാഥാനെയും അബീരാമിനെയും വിളിക്കുവാൻ ആളയച്ച്; അതിന് അവർ:
13 ౧౩ కాని వారు “మేము రాము, ఈ అరణ్యంలో మమ్మల్ని చంపాలని పాలు తేనెలు ప్రవహించే దేశంలో నుంచి మమ్మల్ని తీసుకు రావడం చాలదనట్టు, మామీద ప్రభుత్వం చెయ్యడానికి నీకు అధికారం కావాలా?
൧൩“ഞങ്ങൾ വരുകയില്ല; മരുഭൂമിയിൽ ഞങ്ങളെ കൊല്ലുവാൻ നീ ഞങ്ങളെ പാലും തേനും ഒഴുകുന്ന ദേശത്തുനിന്ന് കൊണ്ടുവന്നത് കൂടാതെ നിന്നെത്തന്നെ ഞങ്ങൾക്ക് അധിപതിയും ആക്കുന്നുവോ?
14 ౧౪ అంతేకాదు, నువ్వు పాలు తేనెలు ప్రవహించే దేశం లోకి మమ్మల్ని తీసుకు రాలేదు. పొలాలు, ద్రాక్షతోటలు ఉన్న స్వాస్థ్యం మాకివ్వలేదు. మమ్మల్ని శుష్క ప్రియాలతో గుడ్డివారుగా చేస్తావా? మేము రాము” అన్నారు.
൧൪അത്രയുമല്ല, നീ ഞങ്ങളെ പാലും തേനും ഒഴുകുന്ന ദേശത്തേക്ക് കൊണ്ടുവരുകയോ നിലങ്ങളും മുന്തിരിത്തോട്ടങ്ങളും അവകാശമായി തരുകയോ ചെയ്തിട്ടില്ല; നീ ഇവരുടെ കണ്ണ് ചുഴന്നെടുക്കുമോ? ഞങ്ങൾ വരുകയില്ല” എന്ന് പറഞ്ഞു.
15 ౧౫ అందుకు మోషే పట్టరాని కోపంతో, యెహోవాకు చెప్తూ “నువ్వు వారి నైవేద్యాన్ని గుర్తించ వద్దు. ఒక్క గాడిదనైనా నేను వారి దగ్గర తీసుకోలేదు. వారిలో ఎవరికీ నేను హాని చెయ్యలేదు” అన్నాడు.
൧൫അപ്പോൾ മോശെ ഏറ്റവും കോപിച്ചു. അവൻ യഹോവയോട്: “അവരുടെ വഴിപാട് കടാക്ഷിക്കരുതേ; ഞാൻ അവരുടെ പക്കൽനിന്ന് ഒരു കഴുതയെപ്പോലും വാങ്ങിയിട്ടില്ല; അവരിൽ ഒരുത്തനോടും ഒരു ദോഷവും ചെയ്തിട്ടുമില്ല” എന്ന് പറഞ്ഞു.
16 ౧౬ అప్పుడు మోషే కోరహుతో “నువ్వూ, నీ గుంపూ, అంటే నువ్వూ, నీ వారూ, అహరోను, రేపు యెహోవా సన్నిధిలో నిలబడాలి.
൧൬മോശെ കോരഹിനോട്: “നീയും നിന്റെ അനുയായികളായ ഇരുന്നൂറ്റമ്പതുപേരും (250) നാളെ യഹോവയുടെ സന്നിധിയിൽ വരണം; അഹരോനും അവിടെ ഉണ്ടായിരിക്കും.
17 ౧౭ మీలో ప్రతివాడూ తన ధూపార్తిని తీసుకుని వాటి మీద ధూప సాంబ్రాణి వేసి, ఒక్కొక్కడు తన ధూపార్తిని పట్టుకుని 250 ధూపార్తులను యెహోవా సన్నిధికి తేవాలి. నువ్వూ, అహరోను ఒక్కొక్కడు తన ధూపార్తిని తేవాలి” అని చెప్పాడు.
൧൭നിങ്ങൾ ഓരോരുത്തൻ അവനവന്റെ ധൂപകലശം എടുത്ത് അവയിൽ ധൂപവർഗ്ഗം ഇട്ട് ഒരോരുത്തനും ഓരോ ധൂപകലശമായി ഇരുനൂറ്റമ്പത് കലശവും യഹോവയുടെ സന്നിധിയിൽ കൊണ്ടുവരുവിൻ; നീയും അഹരോനും കൂടി അവനവന്റെ ധൂപകലശവുമായി വരണം” എന്ന് പറഞ്ഞു.
18 ౧౮ కాబట్టి వారిల్లో ప్రతివాడూ తన ధూపార్తిని తీసుకుని వాటిలో నిప్పు ఉంచి వాటి మీద ధూప సాంబ్రాణి వేసినప్పుడు, వారూ, మోషే అహరోనులూ సన్నిధి గుడారం ద్వారం దగ్గర నిలబడ్డారు.
൧൮അങ്ങനെ അവർ ഓരോരുത്തൻ അവനവന്റെ ധൂപകലശം എടുത്ത് തീയിട്ട് അതിൽ ധൂപവർഗ്ഗവും ഇട്ട് മോശെയും അഹരോനുമായി സമാഗമനകൂടാരത്തിന്റെ വാതില്ക്കൽ നിന്നു.
19 ౧౯ కోరహు సన్నిధి గుడారం ద్వారం దగ్గరికి తన సమాజాన్ని వాళ్లకు విరోధంగా పోగు చేసినప్పుడు, యెహోవా మహిమ సమాజమంతటికీ కనిపించింది.
൧൯കോരഹ് അവർക്ക് വിരോധമായി സർവ്വസഭയെയും സമാഗമനകൂടാരത്തിന്റെ വാതില്ക്കൽ കൂട്ടിവരുത്തി; അപ്പോൾ യഹോവയുടെ തേജസ്സ് സർവ്വസഭയ്ക്കും പ്രത്യക്ഷമായി.
൨൦യഹോവ മോശെയോടും അഹരോനോടും:
൨൧“ഈ സഭയുടെ മദ്ധ്യത്തിൽനിന്ന് മാറിപ്പോകുവിൻ; ഞാൻ അവരെ ക്ഷണത്തിൽ സംഹരിക്കും” എന്ന് കല്പിച്ചു.
22 ౨౨ వారు సాగిలపడి “దేవా, సమస్త మానవాళి ఆత్మలకు దేవా, ఈ ఒక్కడు పాపం చేసినందుకు ఈ సమాజం అంతటి మీద నువ్వు కోపం చూపిస్తావా?” అని యెహోవాను వేడుకున్నారు.
൨൨അപ്പോൾ അവർ കമിഴ്ന്നുവീണു: “സകലജനത്തിന്റെയും ആത്മാക്കൾക്ക് ഉടയവനാകുന്ന ദൈവമേ, ഒരു മനുഷ്യൻ പാപം ചെയ്തതിന് അങ്ങ് സർവ്വസഭയോടും കോപിക്കുമോ” എന്ന് പറഞ്ഞു.
൨൩അതിന് യഹോവ മോശെയോട്:
൨൪“കോരഹ്, ദാഥാൻ, അബീരാം എന്നിവരുടെ കൂടാരങ്ങളുടെ സമീപത്തുനിന്ന് മാറിക്കൊള്ളുവിൻ എന്ന് സഭയോട് പറയുക” എന്ന് കല്പിച്ചു.
25 ౨౫ అప్పుడు మోషే లేచి, దాతాను అబీరాముల దగ్గరికి వెళ్ళినప్పుడు ఇశ్రాయేలీయుల పెద్దలు అతని వెంట వెళ్ళారు.
൨൫മോശെ എഴുന്നേറ്റ് ദാഥാന്റെയും അബീരാമിന്റെയും അടുക്കൽ ചെന്നു; യിസ്രായേൽ മൂപ്പന്മാരും അവന്റെ പിന്നാലെ ചെന്നു.
26 ౨౬ అతడు “ఈ దుష్టుల గుడారాల దగ్గర నుంచి వెళ్ళి పొండి. మీరు వారి పాపాలన్నిట్లో పాలివారై నాశనం కాకుండా ఉండేలా వాళ్లకు కలిగినది ఏదీ ముట్టుకోకండి” అని ఆ సమాజంతో అన్నాడు.
൨൬അവൻ സഭയോട്: “ഈ ദുഷ്ടമനുഷ്യരുടെ സകലപാപങ്ങളാലും നിങ്ങൾ സംഹരിക്കപ്പെടാതിരിക്കേണ്ടതിന് അവരുടെ കൂടാരങ്ങളുടെ അടുക്കൽനിന്ന് മാറിപ്പോകുവിൻ; അവർക്കുള്ള യാതൊന്നിനെയും തൊടരുത്” എന്ന് പറഞ്ഞു.
27 ౨౭ కాబట్టి వారు కోరహు, దాతాను, అబీరాముల గుడారాల దగ్గర నుంచి ఇటు అటు లేచి వెళ్ళిపోయారు. దాతాను, అబీరాము, వారి భార్యలు, వారి కొడుకులు, వారి పసిపిల్లలు తమ గుడారాల ద్వారం దగ్గర నిలబడ్డారు.
൨൭അങ്ങനെ അവർ കോരഹ്, ദാഥാൻ, അബീരാം എന്നിവരുടെ കൂടാരങ്ങളുടെ സമീപത്തുനിന്ന് മാറിപ്പോയി. എന്നാൽ ദാഥാനും അബീരാമും പുറത്ത് വന്നു: അവരും അവരുടെ ഭാര്യമാരും പുത്രന്മാരും കുഞ്ഞുങ്ങളും അവരവരുടെ കൂടാരവാതില്ക്കൽനിന്നു.
28 ౨౮ అప్పుడు మోషే “ఈ కార్యాలన్నీ చెయ్యడానికి యెహోవా నన్ను పంపాడనీ, నా అంతట నేనే వాటిని చెయ్యలేదనీ దీనివల్ల మీరు తెలుసుకుంటారు.
൨൮അപ്പോൾ മോശെ പറഞ്ഞത്: “ഈ സകലപ്രവൃത്തികളും ചെയ്യേണ്ടതിന് യഹോവ എന്നെ അയച്ചു; ഞാൻ സ്വമേധയായി ഒന്നും ചെയ്തിട്ടില്ല എന്ന് നിങ്ങൾ ഇതിനാൽ അറിയും:
29 ౨౯ మనుషులందరికీ వచ్చే చావు లాంటి చావు వీళ్ళకు వస్తే ప్రతి మనిషికీ కలిగేదే వీళ్ళకూ కలిగితే, యెహోవా నన్ను పంపలేదు.
൨൯സകലമനുഷ്യരും മരിക്കുന്നതുപോലെ ഇവർ മരിക്കുകയോ സകലമനുഷ്യർക്കും ഭവിക്കുന്നതുപോലെ ഇവർക്ക് ഭവിക്കുകയോ ചെയ്താൽ യഹോവ എന്നെ അയച്ചിട്ടില്ല.
30 ౩౦ కాని, యెహోవా ఒక అద్భుతం చేసి, వారు ప్రాణాలతోనే పాతాళంలోకి కుంగిపోయేలా భూమి తన నోరు తెరచి వారిని, వాళ్లకు కలిగిన సమస్తాన్నీ మింగేస్తే, వారు యెహోవాను అలక్ష్యం చేశారని మీకు తెలుస్తుంది” అన్నాడు. (Sheol h7585)
൩൦എന്നാൽ യഹോവ ഒരു അപൂർവ്വകാര്യം പ്രവർത്തിക്കുകയും ഭൂമി വായ് പിളർന്ന് അവരെയും അവർക്കുള്ള സകലത്തെയും വിഴുങ്ങിക്കളയുകയും അവർ ജീവനോടെ പാതാളത്തിലേക്ക് ഇറങ്ങുകയും ചെയ്താൽ അവർ യഹോവയെ നിരസിച്ചു എന്ന് നിങ്ങൾ അറിയും”. (Sheol h7585)
൩൧അവൻ ഈ വാക്കുകളെല്ലാം പറഞ്ഞു തീർന്നപ്പോൾ അവരുടെ കീഴെ ഭൂമി പിളർന്നു.
32 ౩౨ భూమి తన నోరు తెరిచి వారిని, వారి కుటుంబాలను, కోరహు సంబంధులందర్నీ, వాళ్లకు చెందిన వాటన్నిటినీ మింగేసింది.
൩൨ഭൂമി വായ് തുറന്ന് അവരെയും അവരുടെ കുടുംബങ്ങളെയും കോരഹിനോട് ചേർന്നിട്ടുള്ള എല്ലാവരെയും അവരുടെ സർവ്വസമ്പത്തിനെയും വിഴുങ്ങിക്കളഞ്ഞു.
33 ౩౩ వారూ, వారి సంబంధులందరూ ప్రాణాలతో పాతాళంలోకి కుంగిపోయారు. భూమి వారిని మింగేసింది. వారు సమాజంలో ఉండకుండాా నాశనం అయ్యారు. (Sheol h7585)
൩൩അവരും അവരോട് ചേർന്ന എല്ലാവരും ജീവനോടെ പാതാളത്തിലേക്ക് ഇറങ്ങി; ഭൂമി അവരുടെ മേൽ അടയുകയും അവർ സഭയുടെ ഇടയിൽനിന്ന് നശിക്കുകയും ചെയ്തു. (Sheol h7585)
34 ౩౪ వారి చుట్టూ ఉన్న ఇశ్రాయేలీయులందరూ వారి కేకలు విని “భూమి మనలను కూడా మింగేస్తుందేమో” అనుకుంటూ పారిపోయారు.
൩൪അവരുടെ ചുറ്റും ഇരുന്ന യിസ്രായേല്യർ എല്ലാവരും അവരുടെ നിലവിളി കേട്ടു: “ഭൂമി നമ്മെയും വിഴുങ്ങിക്കളയരുതേ” എന്ന് പറഞ്ഞ് ഓടിപ്പോയി.
൩൫അപ്പോൾ യഹോവയിങ്കൽനിന്ന് തീ പുറപ്പെട്ട് ധൂപം കാട്ടിയ ഇരുനൂറ്റമ്പതുപേരെയും ദഹിപ്പിച്ചു.
36 ౩౬ అప్పుడు యెహోవా మోషేతో “నువ్వు యాజకుడైన అహరోను కొడుకు ఎలియాజరుతో చెప్పు, ఆ అగ్ని మధ్యలోనుంచి ఆ ధూపార్తులను ఎత్తు, అవి ప్రతిష్ఠితమైనవి.
൩൬യഹോവ മോശെയോട് അരുളിച്ചെയ്തത്:
൩൭“എരിതീയുടെ ഇടയിൽനിന്ന് ധൂപകലശങ്ങൾ എടുക്കുവാൻ പുരോഹിതനായ അഹരോന്റെ മകൻ എലെയാസാരിനോട് പറയുക; അവ വിശുദ്ധമാകുന്നു; തീ തട്ടിക്കളയുകയും ചെയ്യുക;
38 ౩౮ పాపం చేసి తమ ప్రాణాలకు ముప్పు తెచ్చుకున్న వీళ్ళ ధూపార్తులను తీసుకుని బలిపీఠానికి కప్పుగా వెడల్పైన రేకులు చెయ్యాలి. వారు యెహోవా సన్నిధికి వాటిని తెచ్చిన కారణంగా అవి ప్రతిష్ఠితం అయ్యాయి. అవి ఇశ్రాయేలీయులకు గుర్తుగా ఉంటాయి.”
൩൮പാപംചെയ്ത് അവർക്ക് ജീവനാശം വരുത്തിയ ഇവരുടെ ധൂപകലശങ്ങൾ യാഗപീഠം പൊതിയുവാൻ അടിച്ച് തകിടാക്കണം; അത് യഹോവയുടെ സന്നിധിയിൽ കൊണ്ടുവന്നതിനാൽ വിശുദ്ധമാകുന്നു; യിസ്രായേൽ മക്കൾക്ക് അത് ഒരു അടയാളമായിരിക്കട്ടെ”.
൩൯വെന്തുപോയവർ ധൂപം കാട്ടിയ താമ്രകലശങ്ങൾ പുരോഹിതനായ എലെയാസാർ എടുത്ത്,
40 ౪౦ కోరహులా, అతని గుంపులా అయపోకుండా ఇశ్రాయేలీయులకు జ్ఞాపికగా ఉండడానికి కాలిపోయినవారు అర్పించిన ఇత్తడి ధూపార్తులను యాజకుడైన ఎలియాజరు తీసి యెహోవా మోషే ద్వారా తనతో చెప్పినట్టు వాటితో బలిపీఠానికి కప్పుగా వెడల్పైన రేకులు చెయ్యించాడు.
൪൦അഹരോന്റെ സന്തതിയിൽപെട്ടവരല്ലാത്ത ആരും യഹോവയുടെ സന്നിധിയിൽ ധൂപം കാണിക്കുവാൻ അടുത്തുവന്ന്, കോരഹിനെയും അവന്റെ കൂട്ടുകാരെയുംപോലെ ആകാതിരിക്കുവാൻ, യിസ്രായേൽ മക്കൾക്ക് സ്മാരകമായി അവ യാഗപീഠം പൊതിയുവാൻ തകിടായി അടിപ്പിച്ചു; യഹോവ മോശെമുഖാന്തരം കല്പിച്ചതുപോലെ തന്നെ.
41 ౪౧ తరువాత రోజు ఇశ్రాయేలీయుల సమాజమంతా మోషే అహరోనులను విమర్శిస్తూ “మీరు యెహోవా ప్రజలను చంపారు” అని చెప్పి,
൪൧പിറ്റെന്നാൾ യിസ്രായേൽ മക്കളുടെ സഭയെല്ലാം മോശെക്കും അഹരോനും വിരോധമായി പിറുപിറുത്തു: “നിങ്ങൾ യഹോവയുടെ ജനത്തെ കൊന്നുകളഞ്ഞു” എന്ന് പറഞ്ഞു.
42 ౪౨ సమాజమంతా మోషే అహరోనులకు విరోధంగా సమకూడారు. వారు సన్నిధి గుడారం వైపు తిరిగి చూసినప్పుడు, ఆ మేఘం దాన్ని కమ్మింది. యెహోవా మహిమ కూడా కనిపించింది.
൪൨ഇങ്ങനെ മോശെക്കും അഹരോനും വിരോധമായി സഭ കൂടിവന്ന് സമാഗമനകൂടാരത്തിന്റെ നേരെ നോക്കിയപ്പോൾ, മേഘം അതിനെ മൂടിയതായും യഹോവയുടെ തേജസ്സ് പ്രത്യക്ഷമായിരിക്കുന്നതും കണ്ടു.
൪൩അപ്പോൾ മോശെയും അഹരോനും സമാഗമനകൂടാരത്തിന്റെ മുമ്പിൽ ചെന്നു.
൪൪യഹോവ മോശെയോട്: “ഈ സഭയുടെ മദ്ധ്യത്തിൽനിന്ന് മാറിപ്പോകുവിൻ;
൪൫ഞാൻ അവരെ ക്ഷണത്തിൽ സംഹരിക്കും” എന്നരുളിച്ചെയ്തു. അപ്പോൾ അവർ കമിഴ്ന്നുവീണു.
46 ౪౬ అప్పుడు మోషే “నువ్వు ధూపార్తిని తీసుకుని బలిపీఠపు నిప్పులతో నింపి ధూపం వేసి త్వరగా సమాజం దగ్గరికి వెళ్లి వారి కోసం ప్రాయశ్చిత్తం చెయ్యి, ఎందుకంటే, యెహోవా సన్నిధిలోనుంచి కోపం బయలుదేరింది. తెగులు మొదలయ్యింది” అని అహరోనుతో చెప్పాడు.
൪൬മോശെ അഹരോനോട്: “നീ ധൂപകലശം എടുത്ത് അതിൽ യാഗപീഠത്തിലെ തീയും ധൂപവർഗ്ഗവും ഇട്ട് വേഗത്തിൽ സഭയുടെ മദ്ധ്യേ ചെന്ന് അവർക്കുവേണ്ടി പ്രായശ്ചിത്തം കഴിക്കുക; യഹോവയുടെ സന്നിധിയിൽനിന്ന് ക്രോധം പുറപ്പെട്ട് ബാധ തുടങ്ങിയിരിക്കുന്നു” എന്ന് പറഞ്ഞു.
47 ౪౭ మోషే చెప్పినట్టు అహరోను వాటిని తీసుకుని సమాజం మధ్యకు పరుగెత్తి వెళ్ళినప్పుడు ప్రజల్లో తెగులు మొదలై పాకిపోతూ ఉంది. కాబట్టి అతడు ధూపం వేసి ఆ ప్రజల కోసం ప్రాయశ్చిత్తం చేశాడు.
൪൭മോശെ കല്പിച്ചതുപോലെ അഹരോൻ കലശം എടുത്ത് സഭയുടെ നടുവിലേക്ക് ഓടി, ബാധ ജനത്തിന്റെ ഇടയിൽ തുടങ്ങിയിരിക്കുന്നത് കണ്ടു, ധൂപം കാട്ടി ജനത്തിനുവേണ്ടി പ്രായശ്ചിത്തം കഴിച്ച്,
൪൮മരിച്ചവർക്കും ജീവനുള്ളവർക്കും നടുവിൽ നിന്നപ്പോൾ ബാധ അടങ്ങി.
൪൯കോരഹിന്റെ നിമിത്തം മരിച്ചവരെ കൂടാതെ ബാധയാൽ മരിച്ചവർ പതിനാലായിരത്തിഎഴുനൂറുപേർ ആയിരുന്നു
൫൦പിന്നെ അഹരോൻ സമാഗമനകൂടാരത്തിന്റെ വാതില്ക്കൽ മോശെയുടെ അടുക്കൽ മടങ്ങിവന്നു; അങ്ങനെ ബാധ നിന്നുപോയി.
