19 Korah assembled all his followers who opposed Moses and Aaron at the entrance to the tent of meeting. The glory of the LORD appeared to the entire group.
20 the LORD said to Moses and Aaron:
21 "Separate yourselves from this congregation, that I may consume them at once."
22 And they fell on their faces, and said, O God, God of the spirits of all flesh; shall one man sin, and will You be angry with all the congregation?
23 Then the LORD said to Moses:
24 Say to the people, Come away from the tent of Korah Dathan, and Abiram.
25 Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him.
26 He said to the congregation: "Move away from the tents of these wicked men. Do not touch anything that belongs to them, or you’ll be swept away because of all their sins."
27 So they moved away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram came out and were standing at the entrances to their tents with their wives and children.
28 Moses said: "This is how you will know that the LORD sent me to do all these things and that it wasn’t my idea:
29 "If these men die a natural death like all other people the LORD has not sent me.
30 "But if the LORD does something totally new, if the ground opens up, swallows them and everything that belongs to them, and they go down alive to their graves; then you will know that these men have treated the LORD with contempt."
31 When he finished speaking, the ground under them split,
32 The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up with their households, all of Korah's men, and all their goods.
33 They went down alive to their graves with everything that belonged to them. The ground covered them. They disappeared from the assembly.
34 And all Israel around them fled at their cry. For they said, Lest the earth swallow us up.
35 And fire came forth from the LORD and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense.
36 Then the LORD said to Moses:
37 Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the blaze, and scatter the fire some distance away; for they are hallowed.
38 The censers of these who have sinned at the cost of their lives, let them be made into gilded leafing plating for the altar; because they presented them before the LORD, they are holy; and they will be a sign for the Israelites.'"
39 Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers which those who were burned had offered; and they beat them out for a covering of the altar,
40 He followed the LORD's command given through Moses. The copper-covered altar will remind Israel that no one but a descendant of Aaron may come near to burn incense to the LORD. Everyone else will die like Korah and his followers.
41 The next day all the community of the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, saying, "You have killed the people of the LORD!"
