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.
