Bible: Numbers 16:28-35

16:28 Then Moses said, “This is how 1  you will know that the Lord has sent me to do all these works, for I have not done them of my own will. 2  16:29 If these men die a natural death, 3  or if they share the fate 4  of all men, then the Lord has not sent me. 16:30 But if the Lord does something entirely new, 5  and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them up 6  along with all that they have, and they 7  go down alive to the grave, 8  then you will know that these men have despised the Lord!

16:31 When he had finished 9  speaking 10  all these words, the ground that was under them split open, 16:32 and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them, along with their households, and all Korah’s men, and all their goods. 16:33 They and all that they had went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed over them. So they perished from among the community. 16:34 All the Israelites 11  who were around them fled at their cry, 12  for they said, “What if 13  the earth swallows us too? 16:35 Then a fire 14  went out from the Lord and devoured the 250 men who offered incense.
