The next day Ko'rah and his 250 followers come to the tabernacle. Many others come along to support these men.   Jehovah is very angry.  'Get away from the tents of these bad men,' Moses says. 'Don't touch anything that belongs to them.'  The people listen, and move away from the tents of Ko'rah, Da'than, and A-bi'ram.  

Then Moses says:  'By this you will know whom Jehovah has choses.  The ground will open up and swallow these men.'

As soon as Moses stops talking, the ground opens.  Ko'rah's tent and belongings and Da'than and A-bi'ram and those with them go down and the ground closes over them.  When the people hear the cries of those falling into the ground, they shout:  'Run! The earth might swallow us too!~'

Note: If these people had kept their faith in Jehovah God, not complained about almost everything, they would not have had to walk in the desert for 40 years. What they went through, was their doing, and I do not blame God for doing what he did. He is our Creator and the biggest and most important boss we all have in this world and what he says is more important than man's words, because look at what's going in this world now! If man could fix anything for good in any way, to last forever, then this world would not be a mess. All these politicians know is lying, deceitfulness, greed, and how to be immoral. They wouldn't know the truth if it bit them in the butt.  You cannot trust them to be honest in anyway. They think they are above the law, man's law and God's. They aren't!
