Fewer Words Version: Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, along with 250 princes of the assembly, rose up against Moses and Aaron and said, "You take too much authority for yourselves. Everyone in the congregation is holy, and God is with them."
When Moses heard it, he fell on his face, and said to Korah and his companions, "Tomorrow God will show who belongs to him and who is holy. Each of your 250 men will put incense in his censer, and Aaron will do likewise."
So they did that. And then the glory of the Lord appeared.
God said to Moses and Aaron, "Get away from the congregation because I am going to kill everyone."
Moses and Aaron fell on their faces, and said, "Shall the God of the spirits of all flesh be angry at all the congregation because of one man's sin?"
Moses said to the congregation, "Here's how you'll know that God has sent me: If these men die of natural causes, then God hasn't sent me. But if God makes the earth open up and swallow them, with their families and belongings, then these men have provoked God."
When Moses finished speaking, the earth opened up and swallowed Korah, his family, his house, and everything that belonged to him. Numbers 16:1-33
