19. and, having crowded the entire multitude close to them at the door of the tabernacle, the glory of the Lord appeared to them all.
20. And the Lord, speaking to Moses and Aaron, said:
21. "Separate yourselves from the midst of this congregation, so that I may suddenly destroy them."
22. But they fell prone on their faces, and they said, "O most strong One, the God of the spirits of all flesh, should your anger rage against all, for the sin of one?"
23. And the Lord said to Moses:
24. "Instruct the entire people to separate from the tents of Korah, and Dathan, and Abiram."
25. And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram. And the elders of Israel followed him,
26. and he said to the crowd, "Withdraw from the tabernacles of these impious men, and touch nothing which pertains to them, lest you become involved in their sins."
27. And when they had withdrawn from their tents all around, Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the entrance of their pavilions, with their wives and children, and with all their associates.
28. And Moses said: "By this shall you know that the Lord has sent me to do all that you discern, and that I have not brought these things out of my own heart:
29. If these men pass away by the common death of men, or if they will be visited by a scourge, of a kind by which others are often visited, then the Lord did not send me.
