44 And the Lord said to Moses:
45 'Withdraw from the midst of this multitude, and I will destroy them immediately.' And while they were lying on the ground,
46 Moses said to Aaron: 'Take the censer, and draw fire into it from the altar; place incense upon it, and continue on, quickly, to the people, to pray for them. For already wrath has gone forth from the Lord, and the scourge rages.'
47 When Aaron had done this, and he had run into the midst of the multitude, which the burning fire was now destroying, he offered the incense.
48 And standing between the dead and the living, he prayed for the people, and the scourge ceased.
