He stood between the dead and the living, and the plague was stopped.
In context
11Then Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer, put fire on it from the altar, and add incense. Carry it quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them, for wrath has gone out from Yahweh — the plague has begun.” 12So Aaron took it, just as Moses had said, and ran into the midst of the assembly, and there — the plague had already begun among the people. He put on the incense and made atonement for the people. 13He stood between the dead and the living, and the plague was stopped. 14Those who died in the plague numbered fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides those who died because of Korah. 15Then Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance of the tent of meeting, for the plague had been stopped.
