Numbers 16:29-31
Lexham English Bible
29 If they die a natural death[a] or if a natural fate is visited upon them,[b] Yahweh has not sent me. 30 But if Yahweh creates something new, and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them up and all that belongs to them,[c] and they go down alive to Sheol, and you will know that these men have despised Yahweh.”
31 And it happened, as soon as he finished speaking[d] all these words, the ground that was under them split open.
