016:017 and take every man his censer, and put incense on them,
and bring you before Yahweh every man his censer, two hundred
fifty censers; you also, and Aaron, each his censer.
016:018 They took every man his censer, and put fire in them,
and laid incense thereon, and stood at the door of the tent
of meeting with Moses and Aaron.
016:019 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.
016:020 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
016:021 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may
consume them in a moment.
016:022 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?
016:023 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
016:024 Speak to the congregation, saying, Get away from around the tent
of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
016:025 Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders
of Israel followed him.
016:026 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.
016:027 So they got them up from the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram,

and their little ones.
016:028 Moses said, Hereby you shall know that Yahweh has sent me to do

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
