¹⁷ The earth opening put an end to Dathan, covering up Abiram and his band.

⁶ And what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben; when they went down into the open mouth of the earth, with their families and their tents and every living thing which was theirs, before the eyes of all Israel:

²⁹ If these men have the common death of men, or if the natural fate of all men overtakes them, then the Lord has not sent me.

³⁰ But if the Lord does something new, opening the earth to take them in, with everything which is theirs, and they go down living into the underworld, then it will be clear to you that the Lord has not been honoured by these men.

³¹ And while these words were on his lips, the earth under them was parted in two;

³² And the earth, opening her mouth, took them in, with their families, and all the men who were joined to Korah, and their goods.

³³ So they and all theirs went down living into the underworld, and the earth was shut over them, and they were cut off from among the meeting of the people.

¹⁰ And they went down into the open mouth of the earth, together with Korah, when death overtook him and all his band; at the time when two hundred and fifty men were burned in the fire, and they became a sign.
