Numbers 16:27-33 ▼

27 And they go up from the dwelling place of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, from all around, and Dathan and Abiram have come out, standing at the opening of their tents, with their wives, and their sons, and their infants.

28 And Moses says, “By this you know that YHWH has sent me to do all these works, that [they are] not from my own heart;

29 if these die according to the death of all men, or the charge of all men is charged on them, YHWH has not sent me;

30 but if YHWH does a strange thing, and the ground has opened her mouth and swallowed them and all that they have, and they have gone down alive to Sheol, then you have known that these men have despised YHWH.”

31 And it comes to pass at his finishing speaking all these words, that the ground which [is] under them cleaves,

32 and the earth opens her mouth and swallows them, and their houses, and all the men who [are] for Korah, and all the goods,

33 and they go down—they and all that they have—alive to Sheol, and the earth closes over them, and they perish from the midst of the assembly;
