Numbers 16:28-32
New American Standard Bible
28 Then Moses said, “By this you shall know that (A)the Lord has sent me to do all these deeds; for it is not [a]my doing. 29 If these men die [b]the death of all mankind, or [c]if they suffer the (B)fate of all mankind, then the Lord has not sent me. 30 But (C)if the Lord [d]brings about an entirely new thing and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them with everything that is theirs, and they (D)descend alive into [e]Sheol, then you will know that these men have been disrespectful to the Lord.”
31 And as he finished speaking all these words, the ground that was under them split open; 32 and (E)the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them, their households, and (F)all the people who belonged to Korah with all their possessions.
