Numbers 16:23-29 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

23. The Lord replied to Moses,

24. “Tell the community: Get away from the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”

25. Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him.

26. He warned the community, “Get away now from the tents of these wicked men. Don’t touch anything that belongs to them, or you will be swept away because of all their sins.”

27. So they got away from the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Meanwhile, Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the entrance of their tents with their wives, children, and infants.

28. Then Moses said, “This is how you will know that the Lord sent me to do all these things and that it was not of my own will:

29. If these men die naturally as all people would, and suffer the fate of all, then the Lord has not sent me.
