The Lord answered Moses:
(The altar was torn apart and the ashes from the altar were scattered, in accordance with the sign the man of God gave by the word of the Lord.)
But they fell prostrate and exclaimed, “O God, God of the spirits of all living creatures, if one man sins will you be angry with the whole community?”
Speak to the community and tell them: Withdraw from the area around the tent of Korah, Dathan and Abiram. Punishment of Dathan and Abiram.
