Numbers 16:23–30

²³Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

²⁴“Speak to the congregation, saying, ‘^aGet back from around the dwellings of Korah, Dathan and Abiram.’ ”

²⁵Then Moses arose and went to Dathan and Abiram, with the elders of Israel following him,

²⁶and he spoke to the congregation, saying, “^aDepart now from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing that belongs to them, ^bor you will be swept away in all their sin.”

²⁷So they got back from around the dwellings of Korah, Dathan and Abiram; and Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the doorway of their tents, along with their wives and ^atheir sons and their little ones.

²⁸Moses said, “By this you shall know that ^athe Lord has sent me to do all these deeds; for this is not ¹my doing.

²⁹“If these men die ¹the death of all men or ²if they suffer the ^afate of all men, then the Lord has not sent me.

³⁰“But ^aif the Lord ¹brings about an entirely new thing and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that is theirs, and they ^bdescend alive into ²Sheol, then you will understand that these men have spurned the Lord.”
