Numbers 16:19-29 Modern English Version (MEV)

19. Korah gathered all the assembly against them to the door of the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the assembly.

20. The Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying:

21. Separate yourselves from among this assembly, that I may consume them in a moment.

22. They fell on their faces and said, “O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, will one man sin and You will be angry with all the assembly?”

23. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

24. Speak to the assembly, saying: Get up from around the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.

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

26. He spoke to the assembly, saying, “Depart now from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be swept away for all their sins.”

27. So they got up from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side, and Dathan and Abiram came out and stood in the opening of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their children.

28. Moses said, “By this you will know that the Lord has sent me to do all these works, because I have not done them of my own mind.

29. If these men die the common death of all men, or if they are visited after the visitation of all men, then the Lord has not sent me.
