Numbers 16:28-32

^{Tools
28} Moses said, “By this you shall know that ^(A)the Lord has sent me to do all these deeds; for this is not ^(a)my doing. ^{Tools
29} If these men die ^(b)the death of all men or ^(c)if they suffer the ^(B)fate of all men, then the Lord has not sent me. ^{Tools
30} But ^(C)if the Lord ^(d)brings about an entirely new thing and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that is theirs, and they ^(D)descend alive into ^(e)Sheol, then you will understand that these men have spurned the Lord.”

^{Tools
31} As he finished speaking all these words, the ground that was under them split open; ^{Tools
32} and ^(E)the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, and their households, and ^(F)all the men who belonged to Korah with their possessions.
