Numbers 16:27-33 ▼

27 So they got back from around the dwellings of Korah, Dathan and Abiram; but Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the doorway of their tents, along with their wives and their sons and their little ones.

28 And Moses said, “By this you shall know that Yahweh has sent me to do all these deeds; for this is not from my heart.

29 If these men die the death of all men or if they suffer the fate of all men, then Yahweh has not sent me.

30 But if Yahweh creates an entirely new thing and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that is theirs, and they go down to Sheol alive, then you will know that these men have spurned Yahweh.”

31 And it happened that as he finished speaking all these words, the ground that was under them split open;

32 and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men who belonged to Korah with their possessions.

33 So they and all that belonged to them went down to Sheol alive; and the earth closed over them, and they perished from the midst of the assembly.
