In context
28 Moses said, “Hereby you shall know that the LORD has sent me to do all these works; for they are not from my own mind.
29 If these men die the common death of all men, or if they experience what all men experience, then the LORD hasn’t sent me.
30 But if the LORD makes a new thing, and the ground opens its mouth, and swallows them up with all that belong to them, and they go down alive into Sheol, then you shall understand that these men have despised the LORD.”
31 As he finished speaking all these words, the ground that was under them split apart.
32 The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up with their households, all of Korah’s men, and all their goods.
33 So they, and all that belonged to them went down alive into Sheol. The earth closed on them, and they perished from among the assembly.
34 All Israel that were around them fled at their cry; for they said, “Lest the earth swallow us up!”
