04:016:022 And they fell upon their faces, and said,
O God, the God of
the
spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou
be
wroth
with all the congregation?
04:016:023 And the lord spake unto Moses, saying,
04:016:024 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get
you up from about the
tabernacle
of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
04:016:025 And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan
and Abiram; and the
elders
of Israel followed him.
04:016:026 And he spake unto the congregation, saying,
Depart, I pray
you,
from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing
of
their’s,
lest ye be consumed in all their sins.
04:016:027 So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah,
Dathan, and
Abiram,
on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out,
and
stood
in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their
sons,
and their little children.
04:016:028 And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that
the lord hath sent
me
to do all these works; for I have not done them of
mine own
mind.
04:016:029 If these men die the common death of all
men, or if they be
visited
after the visitation of all men; then the lord
hath
not
sent me.
04:016:030 But if the lord make a new thing,
and the earth open her
mouth,
and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them,
and
they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand
that
these men have provoked the lord.
04:016:031 And it came to pass, as he had made an
end of speaking all
these
words, that the ground clave asunder that was under
them:
04:016:032 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed
them up, and
their
houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah,
and
all
their goods.
04:016:033 They, and all that appertained to them,
went down alive into
the
pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they
perished
from
among the congregation.
04:016:034 And all Israel that were round about them
fled at the cry of
them:
for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.
04:016:035 And there came out a fire from the lord,
and consumed the two
hundred
and fifty men that offered incense.
04:016:036 And the lord spake unto Moses, saying,
04:016:037 Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the
priest, that he take
up
the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the
fire
yonder;
for they are hallowed.
04:016:038 The censers of these sinners against their
own souls, let them
make
them broad plates for a covering of the altar:
for they
offered
them before the lord, therefore they are hallowed:
and
they
shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.
