And Moses said: Hereby ye shall know that the Lord hath sent me to do all the se works / and that I have not done them of mine own mind: If these men dye the common death of all men or if they be visited after the visitation of all men / then the Lord hath not sent me. But and if the Lord make a new thing / and the earth open her mouth and swallow them and all that pertain unto them / so that they goo down quick in to hell: then ye shall understand / that these men have railed upon the Lord.
And Moses sayed: Hereby ye shall knowe that the Lorde hath sent me to doo all the se workes / and that I haue not done them of myne awne mynde: Yf these men dye the comon deth of all men or yf they be visyted after the visitacion of all men / then the Lorde hath not sent me. But and yf the Lorde make a newe thinge / and the erth open hir mouthe and swalowe them and all that pertayne vnto them / so that they goo doune quycke in to hell: then ye shall vnderstōd / that these mē haue rayled apon the Lorde.
And as soon as he had made an end of speaking all these words / the ground cla•e a sunder that was under them / and y• earth opened her mouth and swallowed them and their houses and all the men that were with Corah and all their goods. 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 ⟨image 280⟩congregation. And all Israel that were about them / fled at the cry of them. For they said: The earth might haply swallow us also. And there came out a fire from the Lord and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered cense.
And as soone as he had made an ende of speakynge all these wordes / the grounde cla•e a sunder that was vnder them / and y• erth opened hir mouthe and swalowed them and their housses and all the mē that were with Corah and all their goodes. And they and all that pertayned vnto them / went doune alyue vnto hell / and the erthe closed apon them / and they peryshed from amonge the
