20. The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron:
21. “Separate yourselves from among this community, that I may consume them in an instant.”
22. Then they threw themselves down with their faces to the ground and said, “O God, the God of the spirits of all people, will you be angry with the whole community when only one man sins?”
23. So the Lord spoke to Moses:
24. “Tell the community: ‘Get away from around the homes of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.’”
25. Then Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel went after him.
26. And he said to the community, “Move away from the tents of these wicked men, and do not touch anything they have, lest you be destroyed because of all their sins.”
27. So they got away from the homes of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram on every side, and Dathan and Abiram came out and stationed themselves in the entrances of their tents with their wives, their children, and their toddlers.
