Numbers 16:16-35

16MosesH4872 saidH559 to KorahH7141, “You and allH3605 your groupH5712 be presentH1961 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 tomorrowH4279, you and they along with AaronH175. 17And eachH376 of you takeH3947 his censerH4289 and putH5414 incenseH7004 on 1it, and eachH376 of you bringH7126 his censerH4289 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, 250H3967H2572 censersH4289; also you and AaronH175 shall eachH376 bring his censerH4289.” 18So they tookH3947, eachH376 oneH376 his own censerH4289, and putH5414 fireH784 on 2it, and placedH7760 incenseH7004 on 3it; and they stoodH5975 at the entranceH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150, with MosesH4872 and AaronH175. 19So KorahH7141 assembledH6950 allH3605 the congregationH5712 againstH5921 them at the entranceH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150. And 4the gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 appearedH7200 to allH3605 the congregationH5712.

20Then the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872 and AaronH175, sayingH559, 21“5SeparateH914 yourselves from amongH8432 thisH2088 congregationH5712, 6so that I may consumeH3615 them instantlyH7281.” 22But they fellH5307 on their facesH6440 and saidH559, “GodH410, 7the GodH430 of the spiritsH7307 of 8humanityH3605H1320, 9when oneH259 personH376 sinsH2398, will You beH7107 angryH7107 with the entireH3605 congregationH5712?”

23Then the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 24“SpeakH1696 to the congregationH5712, sayingH559, ‘10GetH5927 awayH5927 from the areas aroundH5439 the 11tentsH4908 of KorahH7141, DathanH1885, and AbiramH48.’”

25Then MosesH4872 aroseH6965 and wentH1980 to DathanH1885 and AbiramH48, with the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 followingH1980H310 him, 26and he spokeH1696 to the congregationH5712, sayingH559, “12GetH5493 awayH5493 nowH4994 from the tentsH168 of theseH428 wickedH7563 menH376, and do not touchH5060 anythingH3605 that belongs to them, 13orH6435 you will be sweptH5595 awayH5595 in allH3605 their sinH2403!” 27So they movedH5927 awayH5927 from the areas aroundH5439 the 14tentsH4908 of KorahH7141, DathanH1885, and AbiramH48; and DathanH1885 and AbiramH48 cameH3318 outH3318 and stoodH5324 at the entrancesH6607 of their tentsH168, along with their wivesH802, 15their sonsH1121, and their littleH2945 onesH2945. 28Then MosesH4872 saidH559, “By thisH2088 you shall knowH3045 that 16the LordH3068 has sentH7971 me to doH6213 allH3605 theseH428 deedsH4639; for it is not 17my doingH4480H3820. 29IfH518 theseH428 menH428 dieH4191 18the deathH4194 of allH3605 mankindH120, or 19if they sufferH6485 the 20fateH6486 of allH3605 mankindH120, then the LordH3068 has not sentH7971 me. 30But 21ifH518 the LordH3068 22bringsH1254 aboutH1254 an entirelyH1278 newH1278 thingH1278 and the groundH127 opensH6475 its mouthH6310 and swallowsH1104 them with everythingH3605 that is theirsH1992, and they 23descendH3381 aliveH2416 into 24SheolH7585, then you will knowH3045 that theseH428 menH376 have beenH5006 disrespectfulH5006 to the LordH3068.”

31And as he finishedH3615 speakingH1696 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697, the groundH127 that was underH8478 them splitH1234 openH1234; 32and 25the earthH776 openedH6605 its mouthH6310 and swallowedH1104 them, their householdsH1004, and 26allH3605 the peopleH120 whoH834 belonged to KorahH7141 with allH3605 their possessionsH7399. 33So they and allH3605 that belonged to them wentH3381 downH3381 aliveH2416 to 27SheolH7585; and the earthH776 closedH3680 overH5921 them, and they perishedH6 from the midstH8432 of the assemblyH6951. 34Then allH3605 IsraelH3478 whoH834 were aroundH5439 them fledH5127 at their 28outcryH6963, for they saidH559, “The earthH776 might swallowH1104 us!” 3529FireH784 also cameH3318 outH3318 from the LordH3068 and consumedH398 the 30250H3967H2572 menH376 who were offeringH7126 the incenseH7004.
