Numbers 16:20-33

²⁰And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

²¹Separate your selves from the midst of this congregation, and I will consume them at once.

²²And they fell on their faces, and said, O God, the God of spirits and of all flesh, if one man has sinned, shall the wrath of the Lord be upon the whole congregation?

²³And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

²⁴Speak to the congregation, saying, Depart from the company of Core round about.

²⁵And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiron, and all the elders of Israel went with him.

²⁶And he spoke to the congregation, saying, Separate yourselves from the tents of these stubborn men, and touch nothing that belongs to them, lest you° be consumed with them in all their sin.

²⁷And they stood aloof from the tent of Core round about; and Dathan and Abiron went forth and stood by the doors of their tents, and their wives and their children and their store.

²⁸And Moses said, Hereby shall you° know that the Lord has sent me to perform all these works, that I have not done them of myself.

²⁹If these men shall die according to the death of all men, if also their visitation shall be according to the visitation of all men, then the Lord has not sent me.

³⁰But if the Lord shall show by a wonder, and the earth shall open her mouth and swallow them up, and their houses, and their tents, and all that belongs to them, and they shall go down alive into Hades, then you° shall know that these men have provoked the Lord.

³¹And when he ceased speaking all these words, the ground clave asunder beneath them.

³²And the ground opened, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that were with Core, and their cattle.

³³And they went down and all that they had, alive into Hades; and the ground covered them, and they perished from the midst of the congregation.
