“And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the Lord; the plague is begun. And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation, and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people. And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed. Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah. And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.” {3T 352.2}

»Og Moses sagde til Aron: »Tag din pande, læg gløder fra alteret på og kom røgelse på og skynd dig så hen til menigheden og skaf den soning, thi vreden er brudt frem fra Herren, plagen har allerede taget fat!« da tog Aron det, således som Moses havde sagt og løb midt ind i forsamlingen. Og se, plagen havde allerede taget fat blandt folket, men han kom røgelsen på og skaffede folket soning. Og som han stod der midt imellem døde og levende, hørte plagen op. Men de, der omkom ved plagen, udgjorde 14700 Mennesker foruden dem, der omkom for Koras skyld. så vendte Aron tilbage til Moses ved indgangen til åbenbaringsteltet, efter at plagen var ophørt.«
