18. So each of them took his censer, put burning coals and incense in it, and stood with Moses and Aaron at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
19. When Korah had gathered all his followers in opposition to them at the entrance to the tent of meeting, the glory of the Lord appeared to the entire assembly.
20. The Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
21. “Separate yourselves from this assembly so I can put an end to them at once.”
22. But Moses and Aaron fell facedown and cried out, “O God, the God who gives breath to all living things, will you be angry with the entire assembly when only one man sins?”
23. Then the Lord said to Moses,
24. “Say to the assembly, ‘Move away from the tents of Korah, Dathan and Abiram.’ ”
25. Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him.
26. He warned the assembly, “Move back from the tents of these wicked men! Do not touch anything belonging to them, or you will be swept away because of all their sins.”
27. So they moved away from the tents of Korah, Dathan and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram had come out and were standing with their wives, children and little ones at the entrances to their tents.
28. Then Moses said, “This is how you will know that the Lord has sent me to do all these things and that it was not my idea:
29. If these men die a natural death and suffer the fate of all mankind, then the Lord has not sent me.
