'Earth' in the Bible

Moses was a very humble man, more so than any man on the face of the earth.

Yet as surely as I live and as the whole earth is filled with the Lord’s glory,

The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and their households, all Korah’s people, and all their possessions.

They went down alive into Sheol with all that belonged to them. The earth closed over them, and they vanished from the assembly.

At their cries, all the people of Israel who were around them fled because they thought, “The earth may swallow us too!”

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.
