So they got back from around the dwellings of Korah, Dathan and Abiram; and Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the doorway of their tents, along with their wives and ^(ae)their sons and their little ones.

Moses said, "By this you shall know that ^(af)the Lord has sent me to do all these deeds; for this is not ^[o]my doing.

If these men die ^[p]the death of all men or ^[q]if they suffer the ^(ag)fate of all men, then the Lord has not sent me.

But ^(ah)if the Lord ^[r]brings about an entirely new thing and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that is theirs, and they ^(ai)descend alive into ^[s]Sheol, then you will understand that these men have spurned the Lord ."

As he finished speaking all these words, the ground that was under them split open;

and ^(aj)the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, and their households, and ^(ak)all the men who belonged to Korah with their possessions.

So they and all that belonged to them went down alive to ^[t]Sheol; and the earth closed over them, and they perished from the midst of the assembly.
