Numbers 16:23-29 Common English Bible (CEB)

23. The Lord said to Moses,

24. "Speak to the community and say, ‘Withdraw from around the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.’"

25. Moses rose and went to Dathan and Abiram. Israel’s elders followed him.

26. He spoke to the community: "Move away from the tents of these wicked men and don’t touch anything of theirs, lest you too be wiped out for all their sins."

27. They withdrew from around the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Then Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the entrance of their tents with their wives, children, and little ones.

28. Moses said, "By this you will know that the Lord sent me to do these deeds and that it wasn’t my own desire.

29. If all these people die a natural death, or if their fate be that of all humans, then the Lord hasn’t sent me.
