27 So they got away from the dwelling of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. And Dathan and Abiram came out and stood (A)at the door of their tents, together with their wives, their sons, and their little ones. 28 And Moses said, “Hereby you shall know that the Lord has sent me to do all these works, and that it has not been (B)of my own accord. 29 If these men die as all men die, or if they are visited by the fate of all mankind, (C)then the Lord has not sent me. 30 But if the Lord creates something new, and (D)the ground opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that belongs to them, and they (E)go down alive into Sheol, then you shall know that these men have despised the Lord.”

31 (F)And as soon as he had finished speaking all these words, the ground under them split apart. 32 And the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households and (G)all the people who belonged to Korah and all their goods. 33 So they and all that belonged to them went down alive into Sheol, and the earth closed over them, and (H)they perished from the midst of the assembly.

30 But if Hashem creates a new thing, and haadamah open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down chayyim into Sheol; then ye shall have da’as that these men have spurned Hashem.

31 And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these devarim, that haadamah split asunder that was under them:

32 And ha’aretz opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, their batim (houses), all the men that were of Korach, and all their possessions.

33 They, and all that were of them, went down chayyim into Sheol, and ha’aretz closed over them; and they perished from the midst of the Kahal.
