24. Speak to the congregation, saying, Withdraw yourselves from about the tabernacle 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 congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.
27. So they withdrew from the tabernacle 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, by this ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works: for I have not done them of my own mind.
29. If these men shall die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hath not sent me.
30. But if the LORD shall make a new thing, and the earth shall open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain to them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye 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 cleaved asunder that was under them:
32. And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained to Korah, and all their goods.
33. They, and all that appertained to them went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.
