Numbers 16:29-35
29IfH518 theseH428 menH428 dieH4191 1the deathH4194 of allH3605 menH120 or 2if they sufferH6485 the 3fateH6486 of allH3605 menH120, then the LordH3068 has not sentH7971 me. 30But 4ifH518 the LordH3068 5bringsH1254 aboutH1254 an entirelyH1278 newH1278 thingH1278 and the groundH127 opensH6475 its mouthH6310 and swallowsH1104 them up with allH3605 that is theirsH1992, and they 6descendH3381 aliveH2416 into 7SheolH7585, then you will understandH3045 that theseH428 menH376 have spurnedH5006 the LordH3068.”
31As he finishedH3615 speakingH1696 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697, the groundH127 that was underH8478 them splitH1234 openH1234; 32and 8the earthH776 openedH6605 its mouthH6310 and swallowedH1104 them up, and their householdsH1004, and 9allH3605 the menH120 whoH834 belonged to KorahH7141 with their possessionsH7399. 33So they and allH3605 that belonged to them wentH3381 downH3381 aliveH2416 to 10SheolH7585; and the earthH776 closedH3680 overH5921 them, and they perishedH6 from the midstH8432 of the assemblyH6951. 34AllH3605 IsraelH3478 whoH834 were aroundH5439 them fledH5127 at their 11outcryH6963, for they saidH559, “The earthH776 may swallowH1104 us up!” 3512FireH784 also cameH3318 forthH3318 from the LordH3068 and consumedH398 the 13two hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 menH376 who were offeringH7126 the incenseH7004.
