Numbers 16:17-30 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

17. And take each his censer, and put incense thereon, and present before Jehovah every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; and thou, and Aaron, each his censer.

18. And they took each his censer, and put fire on them, and laid incense thereon, and stood before the entrance to the tent of meeting, as well as Moses and Aaron.

19. And Korah gathered the whole assembly against them to the entrance of the tent of meeting. And the glory of Jehovah appeared to all the assembly.

20. And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

21. Separate yourselves from the midst of this assembly, and I will consume them in a moment.

22. And they fell on their faces, and said, O ·God the God of the spirits of all flesh! shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with the whole assembly?

23. And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

24. Speak unto the assembly, saying, Get you up from about the habitation of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.

25. And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.

26. And 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.

27. And 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.

28. And 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:

29. if these men die as all men die, and are visited with the visitation of all men, Jehovah has not sent me;

30. but 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.
