46. Moses said to AARON, "Take your censer, and put fire from off the altar in it, and lay incense on it, and carry it quickly to the congregation, and make atonement for them; for wrath has gone out from The LORD! The plague has begun."

47. AARON did as Moses said, and ran into the middle of the assembly. Behold, the plague has begun among the people. He put on the incense, and made atonement for the people.

48. He stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
