31 So it was, when he finished speaking all these words, that the ground that was under them split open.
32 And the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them, and their houses, and all the men that belonged to Korah, and all their goods.
33 And they and all that belonged to them went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed on them, and they perished from among the assembly.
34 All Israel that was around them fled at their cry because they said, “The earth will swallow us also.”
35 A fire went out from the Lord and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
36 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
37 Tell Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest to take up the censers out of the blaze, for they are holy. Then scatter the fire far and wide.
