Numbers 16:18-32 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

18. They each took his censer, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and stood at the door of the Tent of Meeting with Moses and Aaron.

19. Korah assembled all the congregation opposite them to the door of the Tent of Meeting.the Lord’s glory appeared to all the congregation.

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

21. “Separate yourselves from amongst this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment!”

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

23. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

24. “Speak to the congregation, saying, ‘Get away from around the tent 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 congregation, saying, “Depart, please, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be consumed in all their sins!”

27. So they went away from the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side. Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood at the door of their tents with their wives, their sons, and their little ones.

28. Moses said, “Hereby you shall know that the Lord has sent me to do all these works; for they are not from my own mind.

29. If these men die the common death of all men, or if they experience what all men experience, then the Lord hasn’t sent me.

30. But if the Lord makes a new thing, and the ground opens its mouth, and swallows them up with all that belong to them, and they go down alive into Sheol, then you shall understand that these men have despised the Lord.”

31. As he finished speaking all these words, the ground that was under them split apart.

32. The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up with their households, all of Korah’s men, and all their goods.
