32The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and their households, along with all of Korah's men and all their possessions.
33They went down alive into the grave, with everything they owned; the earth closed over them, and they perished from the community.
34All the Israelites around them ran away at their cries, saying, 'The earth might swallow us too!'
35Then fire came out from the Lord and consumed the 250 men who were offering incense.
