Numbers 16:23-34
23 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 24 “Speak to the congregation, saying, ‘aGet back from around the dwellings of Korah, Dathan and Abiram.’”
25 Then Moses arose and went to Dathan and Abiram, with the elders of Israel following him, 26 and he spoke to the congregation, saying, “aTurn aside now from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing that belongs to them, blest you be swept away in all their sin.” 27 So they got back from around the dwellings of Korah, Dathan and Abiram; but Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the doorway of their tents, along with their wives and atheir sons and their little ones. 28 And Moses said, “By this you shall know that aYahweh has sent me to do all these deeds; for this is not from my heart. 29 If these men die the death of all men or if they suffer the afate of all men, then Yahweh has not sent me. 30 But aif Yahweh creates an entirely new thing and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that is theirs, and they bgo down to Sheol alive, then you will know that these men have spurned Yahweh.”
31 And it happened that as he finished speaking all these words, the ground that was under them split open; 32 and athe earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, and their households, and ball the men who belonged to Korah with their possessions. 33 So they and all that belonged to them went down to Sheol alive; and the earth closed over them, and they perished from the midst of the assembly. 34 Then all Israel who were around them fled at their outcry, for they said, “Lest the earth swallow us up!”
