Numbers 16:49

Korah
Judgment

47 So Aaron took the censer as Moses had ordered and ran into the midst of the assembly. And seeing that the plague had begun among the people, he offered the incense and made atonement for the people.

48 He stood between the living and the dead, and the plague was halted.

But those who died from the plague numbered 14,700, in addition to those who had died on account of Korah.

50 Then Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, since the plague had been halted.
