19 And Korah assembled all the congregation against them to the door of the tent of meeting. And the glory of LORD appeared to all the congregation.
20 And LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
21 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.
22 And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will thou be angry with all the congregation?
23 And LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
24 Speak to the congregation, saying, Get you up 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 got up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side. And Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood at the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little ones.
28 And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that LORD has sent me to do all these works, for it is not of my own mind.
29 If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men, then LORD has not sent me.
30 But if LORD makes a new thing, and the ground opens its mouth, and swallows them up, with all that pertains to them, and they go down alive into Sheol, then ye shall understand that these men have despised LORD.
31 And it came to pass, as he 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 pertained to Korah, and all their goods.
33 So they, and all that pertained to them, went down alive into Sheol. And the earth closed upon them, and they perished from among the assembly.
34 And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them, for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up.
35 And fire came forth from LORD, and devoured the two hundred and fifty men who offered the incense.
36 And LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
37 Speak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder, for they are holy,
38 even the censers of these sinners against their own lives, and let them be made beaten plates for a covering of the altar, for they offered them before LORD, therefore they are holy, and they shall be a sign to the sons of Israel.
39 And Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers, which those who were burnt had offered, and they beat them out for a covering of the altar,
40 to be a memorial to the sons of Israel, to the end that no stranger, who is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to burn incense before LORD, that he not be as Korah, and as his company, as LORD spoke to him by Moses.
41 But on the morrow all the congregation of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of LORD.
