- 31And it came to pass, as he made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground did cleave asunder that was under them.
- 32And the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.
- 33So they, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit; and the earth closed upon them, and they perished from among the assembly.
- 34And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them; for they said: 'Lest the earth swallow us up.'
- 35And fire came forth from the LORD, and devoured the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense.
