Numbers 16:28-33 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

28. And Moses said, “In this you will know that Yahweh has sent me to do all these works; it is not from my heart.

29. If they die a natural death or if a natural fate is visited upon them, Yahweh has not sent me.

30. But if Yahweh creates something new, and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them up and all that belongs to them, and they go down alive to Sheol, and you will know that these men have despised Yahweh.”

31. And it happened, as soon as he finished speaking all these words, the ground that was under them split open.

32. The land opened its mouth and swallowed them up with their houses and every person that belonged to Korah and all the property.

33. They went down alive to Sheol, they and all that belonged to them, and the land covered over them, and they perished from the midst of the assembly.
