“ How terrible it will be for the Babylonians! They build their kingdom with money that they gained by cheating others. They have tried to make the kingdom as secure as possible. After all, they did not want to be destroyed.They have planned to wipe out many nations. But they have brought shame on their own kingdom.

Moses warned the community. He said,“ Move away from the tents of these evil men! Don’t touch anything that belongs to them. If you do, the Lord will sweep you away because of all their sins.”So they moved away from the tents of Korah, Dathan and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram had already come out.

If what I’m telling you doesn’t happen, then you will know that the Lord hasn’t sent me.But the Lord will make something totally new happen. The ground will open its mouth and swallow them up. It will swallow up everything that belongs to them. They will be buried alive. When that happens, you will know that these men have disrespected the Lord.”As soon as Moses finished saying all these words, what he had said came true.

And it swallowed up everything they owned.They went down into the grave alive. Everything they owned went down with them. The ground closed over them and they died. And so they disappeared from the community.All the Israelites around them heard their cries. They ran away from them. They shouted,“ The ground is going to swallow us up too!”
