19 And Corah gathered ye whole congregacio agaynst the before the dore of the Tabernacle of witnes. But ye glory of the LORDE appeared before ye whole congregacion.
20 And ye LORDE spake vnto Moses & Aaron, & sayde:
21 Separate youre selues fro this congregacio, yt I maye shortly consume them.
22 And they fell vpon their faces, & sayde: O God, thou God of the spretes of all flesh, yf one man haue synned, wilt thou therfore be wroth ouer the whole congregacion?
23 And the LORDE spake vnto Moses, & saide:
24 Speake to the congregacio, and saye: Come vp from ye dwellynge of Corah, and Dathan, and Abiram.
25 And Moses stode vp, & wente vnto Dathan & Abiram, & the Elders of Israel folowed him,
26 & he spake to ye cogregacio, & saide: Departe fro ye tentes of these vngodly me & touche nothinge yt is theirs, yt ye perishe not in eny of their sinnes.
27 And they gat them vp from the dwellynge of Corah, Dathan, & Abiram. But Dathan and Abira came out, and stode in the dore of their tentes, with their wyues, and sonnes and children.
28 And Moses sayde: Hereby shal ye knowe that the LORDE hath sent me, to do all these workes, and that I haue not done them of myne awne hert.
29 Yf these men dye the comon death of all men, or be vysited as all men are vysited, then hath not the LORDE sent me.
30 But yf the LORDE make a new thinge, and the earth open hir mouth, and swalowe them with all that they haue, so yt they go downe quycke in to hell, the shal ye knowe, that these men haue blasphemed the LORDE.
31 And wha he had spoke out all these wordes, ye groude cloue asunder vnder the,
32 & the earth opened hir wouth, & swalowed the, wt their houses, & all the me yt were wt Corah, & all their substauce,
33 and they wente downe quycke in to the hell, with all that they had. And the earth closed vpo them, & so they perished from amonge ye congregacio.
34 And all Israel yt were aboute the, fled at ye crye of the, for they sayde: That ye earth swalowe not vs also.
35 Morouer the fyre came out fro the LORDE, and consumed the two hundreth and fyftye men, that offred the incense.
36 And the LORDE spake vnto Moses, & sayde:
37 Speake to Eleasar ye sonne of Aaron ye prest, yt he take vp ye censers out of ye burninge, & scater ye fyre here & there
38 (For the censers of these synners are halowed thorow their soules) yt they maye be beate in to thinne plates, & fastened vpon ye altare. For they are offred before ye LORDE, & halowed: and they shalbe a token vnto ye childre of Israel.
39 And Eleasar the prest toke ye brasen censers which they yt were burnt, had offred, & bet the to plates, to fasten the vpon ye altare
40 for a remebraunce vnto ye children of Israel yt no straunger (and he that is not of ye sede of Aaron) come nye to offre incense before the LORDE, yt it happe not vnto him as vnto Corah and his companye, acordynge as the LORDE sayde vnto him by Moses.
41 On the nexte morow murmured ye whole congregacion of ye childre of Israel against Moses & Aaro, & saide: Ye haue slayne ye people of ye LORDE.
