16. Moses said to Korah, "You and your entire community should appear before the Lord tomorrow, you, they, and Aaron.
17. Every person should take his censer, place incense on it, and present it before the Lord. Each person will carry his censer, two hundred fifty censers in all, including you and Aaron."
18. Then every person took his censer, placed fire on it, put incense on it, and stood at the entrance of the meeting tent with Moses and Aaron.
19. Korah gathered the entire community with them to the entrance of the meeting tent.Then the Lord’s glory appeared to the entire community.
20. The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron,
21. "Separate yourselves from this community so that I may consume them in a moment."
22. They fell on their faces and said, "God, the God of all living things. If one person sins, should you become angry with the entire community?"
23. The Lord said to Moses,
24. "Speak to the community and say, ‘Withdraw from around the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.’"
25. Moses rose and went to Dathan and Abiram. Israel’s elders followed him.
26. He spoke to the community: "Move away from the tents of these wicked men and don’t touch anything of theirs, lest you too be wiped out for all their sins."
27. They withdrew from around the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Then Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the entrance of their tents with their wives, children, and little ones.
28. Moses said, "By this you will know that the Lord sent me to do these deeds and that it wasn’t my own desire.
29. If all these people die a natural death, or if their fate be that of all humans, then the Lord hasn’t sent me.
