God’s Word Translation
Numbers 16:29-35
29If these men die like all other people—if they die a natural death—then the Lord hasn’t sent me.
30But if the Lord does something totally new—if the ground opens up, swallows them and everything that belongs to them, and they go down alive to their graves—then you’ll know that these men have treated the Lord with contempt.”
31As soon as he had finished saying all this, the ground under them split,
32and the earth opened up to swallow them, their families, the followers of Korah, and all their property.
33They went down alive to their graves with everything that belonged to them. The ground covered them, and so they disappeared from the assembly.
34All the Israelites around them ran away when they heard their screams. They thought the ground would swallow them, too.
35Fire came from the Lord and consumed the 250 men who were offering incense.
