25. And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
26. And he spoke unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be consumed in all their sins.
27. So they got away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children.
28. And Moses said, Hereby you shall know that the LORD has sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of my own will.
29. If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited with the fate of all men; then the LORD has not sent me.
30. But if the LORD makes a new thing, and the earth opens its mouth, and swallows them up, with all that belongs unto them, and they go down alive into the pit; then you shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD.
31. And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground split asunder that was under them:
32. And the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men that belonged unto Korah, and all their goods.
33. They, and all that belonged to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.
34. And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.
35. And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
