Numbers 16:29
Compare all
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.

Numbers 16:29-31

So this is an occasion where Moses spoke; and swoosh, God did the work. So if the Bible is going to be our guide here, it looks like these two will speak; and God will do the work. That's how Jesus did it. Jesus said, "I don't do any of these works. God does the works through Me. God gets all the credit."

Numbers 16:27-33

Well, God very effectively answered that. He was still working through Moses. But God is showing a pattern that He will follow. These men, Dathan, Korah, and Abiram, revealed their lack of faith.
