28 And Moses said: (A)“By this you shall know that the Lord has sent me to do all these works, for I have not done them (B)of my own will. 29 If these men die naturally like all men, or if they are (C)visited by the common fate of all men, then the Lord has not sent me. 30 But if the Lord creates (D)a new thing, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that belongs to them, and they (E)go down alive into the pit, then you will understand that these men have rejected the Lord.”

35 And (H)a fire came out from the Lord and consumed the two hundred and fifty men who were offering incense.

28 Then Moses said, “This is how you will know(A) that the Lord has sent me(B) to do all these things and that it was not my idea: 29 If these men die a natural death and suffer the fate of all mankind, then the Lord has not sent me.(C) 30 But if the Lord brings about something totally new, and the earth opens its mouth(D) and swallows them, with everything that belongs to them, and they go down alive into the realm of the dead,(E) then you will know that these men have treated the Lord with contempt.(F)

31 As soon as he finished saying all this, the ground under them split apart(G) 32 and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them(H) and their households, and all those associated with Korah, together with their possessions. 33 They went down alive into the realm of the dead,(I) with everything they owned; the earth closed over them, and they perished and were gone from the community. 34 At their cries, all the Israelites around them fled, shouting, “The earth is going to swallow us too!”
