Numbers 16:28-35
16:28 Then Moses said, “This is how
you will know that the
Lord has sent me to do all these works, for I have not done them of my own will.
16:29 If these men die a natural death,
or if they share the fate
of all men, then the
Lord has not sent me.
16:30 But if the
Lord does something entirely new,
and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them up
along with all that they have, and they
go down alive to the grave,
then you will know that these men have despised the
Lord!”
16:31 When he had finished speaking all these words, the ground that was under them split open,
16:32 and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them, along with their households, and all Korah’s men, and all their goods.
16:33 They and all that they had went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed over them. So they perished from among the community.
16:34 All the Israelites who were around them fled at their cry, for they said, “What if the earth swallows us too?”
16:35 Then a fire went out from the Lord and devoured the 250 men who offered incense.
