^{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.

^{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.
