Numbers 16:28-30

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁸ Then Moses said to the people, ‘Now you will know that the Lord has chosen me to lead you. He has told me to do this. It was not my own idea. This is how you will know. ²⁹ If these men die in a usual way, as all men will die one day, then the Lord did not choose me. ³⁰ But if the Lord causes something new to happen to these men, you will know that they have turned against him. For example, a hole might appear in the ground so that these men fall into it. They might fall down into their own graves while they are still alive. If that happens to them and to all that belongs to them, then you will know that the Lord has punished them.’
