19 And Korah raised up against them all his company by the door of the tabernacle of witness; and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the congregation.
20 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
21 Separate yourselves from the midst of this congregation, and I will consume them at once.
22 And they fell on their faces, and said, O God, the God of spirits and of all flesh, if one man has sinned, shall the wrath of the Lord be upon the whole congregation?
23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
24 Speak to the congregation, saying, Depart from the company of Korah round about.
25 And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and all the elders of Israel went with him.
26 And he spoke to the congregation, saying, Separate yourselves from the tents of these stubborn men, and touch nothing that belongs to them, lest you be consumed with them in all their sin.
27 And they stood aloof from the tent of Korah round about; and Dathan and Abiram went forth and stood by the doors of their tents, and their wives and their children and their store.
28 And Moses said, Hereby shall you know that the Lord has sent me to perform all these works, that I have not done them of myself.
29 If these men shall die according to the death of all men, if also their visitation shall be according to the visitation of all men, then the Lord has not sent me.
30 But if the Lord shall show by a wonder, and the earth shall open her mouth and swallow them up, and their houses, and their tents, and all that belongs to them, and they shall go down alive into Hades, then you shall know that these men have provoked the Lord.
31 And when he ceased speaking all these words, the ground split apart beneath them.
32 And the ground opened, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that were with Korah, and their cattle.
33 And they went down, they and all that they had, alive into Hades; and the ground covered them, and they perished from the midst of the congregation.
34 And all Israel round about them fled from the sound of them, for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up, too!
35 And fire went forth from the Lord, and devoured the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
36 And the Lord said to Moses,
37 and to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, Take up the bronze censers out of the midst of the men that have been burned, and scatter the strange fire yonder, for they have sanctified the censers
38 of these sinners against their own souls, and make for them hammered plates as a covering for the altar, because they were brought before the Lord and hallowed; and they became a sign to the children of Israel.
39 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest took the bronze censers, which the men who had been burned brought near, and they put them as a covering on the altar,
40 a memorial to the children of Israel that no stranger might draw near, who is not of the seed of Aaron, to offer incense before the Lord; so he shall not be as Korah and as they that conspired with him, as the Lord spoke to him by the hand of Moses.
41 And the children of Israel murmured the next day against Moses and Aaron, saying, You have killed the people of the Lord.
