He hath taken thee to him and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee, and ye seek the office of the priest also.

And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, and they answered, "We will not come.

And they and all that pertained unto them, went down alive unto hell, and the earth closed upon them, and they perished from among the congregation.
