Numbers 16:23–35

²³And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ²⁴Speak unto the assembly, saying, Get you up from about the habitation of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. ²⁵And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him. ²⁶And he spoke to the assembly, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye perish in all their sins. ²⁷And they got up from the habitation of Koran, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side. And Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the entrance of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little ones. ²⁸And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that Jehovah has sent me to do all these deeds, for they are not out of my own heart: ²⁹if these men die as all men die, and are visited with the visitation of all men, Jehovah has not sent me; ³⁰but if Jehovah make a new thing, and the ground open its mouth, and swallow them up, and all that they have, and they go down alive into Sheol, then ye shall know that these men have despised Jehovah. ³¹And it came to pass when he had ended speaking all these words, that the ground clave apart that was under them. ³²And the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men that belonged to Korah, and all their property. ³³And they went down, they and all that they had, alive into Sheol, and the earth covered them; and they perished from among the congregation. ³⁴And all Israel that were round about them fled at their cry; for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up!

³⁵And there came out a fire from Jehovah, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that had presented incense.
