Numbers 16:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 Who gathered themselves together against Moses, and against Aaron, and said unto them, [a]Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the Congregation is holy, [b]every one of them, and the Lord is among them: wherefore then lift ye yourselves above the Congregation of the Lord?
4 But when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face,
5 And spake to Korah and unto all his company, saying, Tomorrow the Lord will show who is his, and who is holy, and who ought to approach near unto him: and whom he hath [c]chosen, he will cause to come near to him.

New International Version
3 They came as a group to oppose Moses and Aaron(A) and said to them, “You have gone too far! The whole community is holy,(B) every one of them, and the Lord is with them.(C) Why then do you set yourselves above the Lord’s assembly?”(D)
4 When Moses heard this, he fell facedown.(E) 5 Then he said to Korah and all his followers: “In the morning the Lord will show who belongs to him and who is holy,(F) and he will have that person come near him.(G) The man he chooses(H) he will cause to come near him.
