26 And he spoke to the congregation, saying, a“Depart now from the tents of these wicked men! Touch nothing of theirs, lest you be consumed in all their sins.”
27 So they got away from around the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram; and Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the door of their tents, with their wives, their sons, and their little achildren.
28 And Moses said: a“By this you shall know that the Lord has sent me to do all these works, for I have not done them bof my own will.
29 If these men die naturally like all men, or if they are avisited by the common fate of all men, then the Lord has not sent me.
30 But if the Lord creates aa new thing, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that belongs to them, and they bgo down alive into the pit, then you will understand that these men have rejected the Lord.”
31 aNow it came to pass, as he finished speaking all these words, that the ground split apart under them,
32 and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households and aall the men with Korah, with all their goods.
33 So they and all those with them went down alive into the pit; the earth closed over them, and they perished from among the assembly.
34 Then all Israel who were around them fled at their cry, for they said, “Lest the earth swallow us up also!”
35 And aa fire came out from the Lord and consumed the two hundred and fifty men who were offering incense.
36 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
37 “Tell Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, to pick up the censers out of the blaze, for athey are holy, and scatter the fire some distance away.
