“And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them:”
“It happened, as he made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground split apart that was under them;”
“When he had finished speaking all these words, the ground that was under them split open,”
“And immediately as he had made an end of speaking, the earth broke asunder under their feet:”
“And while these words were on his lips, the earth under them was parted in two;”
“And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them:”
And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that Jehovah hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.
If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then Jehovah hath not sent me.
But if Jehovah make a new thing, and the ground open its mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down alive into Sheol; then ye shall understand that these men have despised Jehovah.
And it came to pass, as he made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them;
and the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.
So they, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into Sheol: and the earth closed upon them, and they perished from among the assembly.
And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them; for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up.
