Now the people began complaining openly before the Lord about hardship. When the Lord heard, His anger burned, and fire from the Lord blazed among them and consumed the outskirts of the camp.

The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them with Korah, when his followers died and the fire consumed 250 men. They serve as a warning sign.

“Separate yourselves from this community so I may consume them instantly.”

Fire also came out from the Lord and consumed the 250 men who were presenting the incense.

“Get away from this community so that I may consume them instantly.” But they fell facedown.

For fire came out of Heshbon,
a flame from the city of Sihon.
It consumed Ar of Moab,
the lords of Arnon’s heights.
