Results of Not Submitting – 2

Korah was swallowed by earth:

Numbers 16:27-33

So they moved away from the tents of Korah, Dathan and Abiram.  Dathan and Abiram had come out and were standing with their wives, children  and little ones at the entrances to their tents.

    Then Moses said, “This is how you will know  that the Lord has sent me  to do all these things and that it was not my idea:   If these men die a natural death and suffer the fate of all mankind, then the Lord has not sent me.    But if the Lord brings about something totally new, and the earth opens its mouth  and swallows them, with everything that belongs to them, and they go down alive into the realm of the dead,  then you will know that these men have treated the Lord with contempt. ”

    As soon as he finished saying all this, the ground under them split apart    and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them  and their households, and all those associated with Korah, together with their possessions.   They went down alive into the realm of the dead,  with everything they owned; the earth closed over them, and they perished and were gone from the community

Fourteen thousand seven hundred people got perished:

Numbers 16:41-49

The next day the whole Israelite community grumbled against Moses and Aaron. “You have killed the Lord’s people,” they said.

    But when the assembly gathered in opposition  to Moses and Aaron and turned toward the tent of meeting, suddenly the cloud covered it and the glory of the Lord  appeared.   Then Moses and Aaron went to the front of the tent of meeting,   and the Lord said to Moses,   “Get away from this assembly so I can put an end  to them at once.” And they fell facedown.

    Then Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer  and put incense in it, along with burning coals from the altar, and hurry to the assembly  to make atonement  for them. Wrath has come out from the Lord;  the plague  has started.”   So Aaron did as Moses said, and ran into the midst of the assembly. The plague had already started among the people,  but Aaron offered the incense and made atonement for them.   He stood between the living and the dead, and the plague stopped.    But 14,700 people died from the plague, in addition to those who had died because of Korah.
