19 ^uAnd I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons from among the people of Israel, to do the service for the people of Israel at the tent of meeting and ^xto make atonement for the people of Israel, ^ythat there may be no plague among the people of Israel when the people of Israel come near the sanctuary.”

33 ^jWhile the meat was yet between their teeth, before it was consumed, the anger of the Lord was kindled against the people, and ^kthe Lord struck down the people with a very great plague.

6 And Moses said to Aaron and to Eleazar and Ithamar his sons, ^g“Do not let the hair of your heads hang loose, and do not tear your clothes, lest you die, and ^hwrath come upon all the congregation; but let your brothers, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning that the Lord has kindled.

24 Joab the son of Zeruiah began to count, but ^xdid not finish. Yet ^ywrath came upon Israel for this, and the number was not entered in the chronicles of King David.
