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.
016:028 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.
016:029 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.
016:030 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.
016:031 It happened, as he made an end of speaking all these words,
that the ground split apart that was under them;
016:032 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.
016:033 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.
016:034 All Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them;
for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up.
016:035 Fire came forth from Yahweh, and devoured the two hundred
fifty men who offered the incense.
016:036 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
016:037 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,
016:038 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.
016:039 Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers, which those who
were burnt had offered; and they beat them out for a covering
of the altar,
016:040 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.
016:041 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.
016:042 It happened, when the congregation was assembled against Moses
and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting:
and behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of Yahweh appeared.
016:043 Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting.
016:044 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
016:045 Get away from among this congregation, that I may consume them
in a moment. They fell on their faces.
016:046 Moses said to Aaron, Take your censer, and put fire therein
