chapter 16

Korah, the great grandson of Levi, and Dathan and Abriam dared to question the sovereign authority of Moses.

With 250 men of repute, they came to the Tent of copulation with children.

"You have gone too far, Moses. What makes you so Goddamn holier then the rest of us."

Moses fell on his face. Jumped up and said.

"We'll see who's fuckin' holy."

So Moses told them to come back with fire pans in the morning.

"You fuckin' Levi kids. You got it better than the rest of the army and still you dare utter against the Lord."

"You drag us out of civilization to play the Lord over us. You cut out peoples eyes and promise land of milk and honey."

"Shut the fuck up."

So they all did what Moses said and came next morning with 250 fire pans filled with incense.

The Lord said. "Stand back, I'll kill 'em all."

And they fell on their faces moaning.

"Oh God. Oh God. One man sins and you want to kill us all."

So Moses told them to move away from the tents of Korah, Dathan and Abiram. And watch.

So the men and their wives, sons and children stand before the Lord at their tents.

"I will show you who is fuckin' holy."

The Lord opened up the earth and they were swallowed, wailing, down to Shoal.

Terror ruled again. All were afraid of being swallowed by the earth if they were bad.

And the Lord then burnt the 250 men as well.

"It is better to kill all than to let one sinner free."

chapter 17

Of course, murdering someone with a fire pan makes the fire pan sacred. The burnt bodies were thrown away with the trash and the copper hammered onto the alter so no one would forget.

"Don't ever fuckin' question authority."

But the whole community cryed.

"You are a murdering tyrant."

So the Lord told Moses he'd kill 'em all.

Moses said no Lord, not all and sent Aaron with some incense to stop the plague.

14,700 died before Aaron could stop the plague. Plus the 250 Levites.

So to prove who was holy, Moses told Aaron to get a stick from all the chiefs. Carve out their names on them and put them in the tent. Aaron did one too.

"Now, whoever's grows tomorrow will be holy."

Wouldn't you know it. The Lord made Aaron's stick blossom and produce almonds.

Moses said. "See, you fuckers. Now shut up and eat your manna cake. Or the Lord will kill you."

So they all cryed. They knew they were doomed.

chapter 18

Then the Lord said to Aaron. You and your sons are to carry the guilt with the sanctuary. Any Levi not a priest can't look at the holy stuff or you and them will die. No outsider can do anything or I will rip out their eyes and kill them.

"You and your sons do the priest thing. And outsiders who come by will be put to death."

Aaron and his sons were granted the sin, guilt and meal offerings for all time. It and they are holy.

As well, gift offerings and elevation offerings for ever. If they are clean.

All the best new oil, wine and grain. The first fruit of everything on the land. The first born for everyone and thing. Man or Beast shall be the priest's. For ever.

For buying back people, check prices in Exodus 34.19.

Dash blood on the alter. Burn the fat. The Lord likes the smell of burnt animal fat.

All the sacred gifts are for you and your Levi family.

But you get no land. You are priests and shall live from taxes.

All the tithes in Israel are for the Levi Priests 'cause they have things to do. In the tent. And no Israelite comes near the Tent of excess or they get killed.

Only Levites forever. And no land for them.

"If you don't do the rituals correctly. You will die."
