Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle
on Numbers 16:43-45
The same order comes a second time in one chapter, at verse 21 and again here, and the same two men go face down. The difference is the timing, since verse 46 says the plague had already begun while they were still on the ground. Intercession here overtakes a judgment in progress.
