^{19 Ref} Korah assembled all the congregation against them to the door of the tent of meeting: and the glory of Yahweh appeared to all the congregation.

²⁰ Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

^{21 Ref} Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.

^{22 Ref} They fell on their faces, and said, God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will you be angry with all the congregation?

²³ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

^{24 Ref} Speak to the congregation, saying, Get away from around the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.

^{25 Ref} Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.

^{26 Ref} He spoke to the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be consumed in all their sins.

^{27 Ref} So they got them up from the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood at the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little ones.

^{28 Ref} Moses said, Hereby you shall know that Yahweh has sent me to do all these works; for [I have] not [done them] of my own mind.

^{29 Ref} If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then Yahweh hasn't sent me.

^{30 Ref} But if Yahweh make a new thing, and the ground open its mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain to them, and they go down alive into Sheol; then you shall understand that these men have despised Yahweh.

^{31 Ref} It happened, as he made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground split apart that was under them;

^{32 Ref} and the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men who appertained to Korah, and all their goods.

^{33 Ref} So they, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into Sheol: and the earth closed on them, and they perished from among the assembly.

^{34 Ref} All Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them; for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up.

^{35 Ref} Fire came forth from Yahweh, and devoured the two hundred fifty men who offered the incense.

³⁶ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

^{37 Ref} Speak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter you the fire yonder; for they are holy,

^{38 Ref} even the censers of these sinners against their own lives; and let them be made beaten plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before Yahweh; therefore they are holy; and they shall be a sign to the children of Israel.

³⁹ Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers, which those who were burnt had offered; and they beat them out for a covering of the altar,

^{40 Ref} to be a memorial to the children of Israel, to the end that no stranger, who isn't of the seed of Aaron, comes near to burn incense before Yahweh; that he not be as Korah, and as his company: as Yahweh spoke to him by Moses.

^{41 Ref} But on the next day all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, You have killed the people of Yahweh.
