19 And Corah gathered all the congregacyon agaynst them vnto the dore of the tabernacle of witnes. And the glory of the Lord appeared vnto all the congregacion.
20 And the Lorde spake vnto Moses and Aaron, sayinge:
21 separate your selues from amonge this congregacion, that I maye consume them atonce.
22 And they fell vpon their faces and sayde. O moost myghtye God of the spretes of all fleshe, yf one man hath synned, wylt thou be wroth with all the multitude?
23 And the Lorde spake vnto Moses saying:
24 speake vnto the congregacyon and saye: Get you awaye from about the dwellyng of Corah, Dathan and Abiram.
25 And Moses rose vp, and went vnto Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel folowed him.
26 And he spake vnto the congregacion, saying: departe from the tentes of these wicked men, and touche nothing of theirs: lest ye perysh in all their synnes.
27 And so they gate them from the dwellyng of Corah, Dathan and Abiram on euery syde. And Dathan and Abiram came out and stode in the dore of their tentes with their wyues, their sonnes and their lytle chyldren.
28 And Moses sayd: Herby ye shall knowe that the Lorde hath sent me to do all these workes, and that I haue not done them of mine awne minde.
29 If these men dye the comen deth of all men: or yf they be visyted after the visitacyon of all men, then the Lorde hath not sent me.
30 But and yf the Lorde make a newe thyng, and the earth open her mouth and swalowe them vp wt all that they haue: and they go downe quycke into hell: then ye shall vnderstande, that these men haue prouoked the Lorde.
31 And it fortuned that assone as he had made an ende of speakyng all these wordes,
32 the grounde cloue asonder that was vnder them: & the erth opened her mouth, and swalowed them vp, and their houses,
33 and all the men that were with Corah and all their goodes. And they and all that they had, went downe alyue vnto hell, and the earth closed vpon them: and they peryshed from amonge the congregacion.
34 And all Israel that were aboute them fledd at the crye of them. And they sayd: lest the earthe swalowe vs vp also.
35 And there came oute a fyer from the Lorde, and consumed the two hundred and fyftye men that offred cens.
36 And the Lorde spake vnto Moses, saying:
37 Speake vnto Eleazar the sonne of Aaron the preaste, that he take vp the censers oute of the burnynge, and skatter the fyer here and there,
38 for the censers of these synners are halowed in theyr deathes: and let them make of them thinne beaten plates for a coueryng of the aultare. For they offered them before the Lord, and therfore they are halowed, and they shalbe a sygne vnto the chyldren of Israel.
39 And Eleazar the preast toke the brasen censers which they that were burnt had offered, and beate them thinne for a couering of the aultare,
40 to be a remembraunce vnto the chyldren of Israel, that no straunger which is not of the seed of Aaron, come nere to offer cens before the Lord, that it happen not vnto hym lyke as vnto Corah and hys companye, as the Lorde sayde of him by the hande of Moses.
41 But on the morowe all the multitude of the children of Israel murmured agaynste Moses and Aaron, sayinge: ye haue kylled the people of the Lord.
