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 ⟨image 280⟩congregacyon. And all Israel that were aboute them / fledde at the crye of them. For they sayed: The erthe myghte happelye swalowe vs also. And there came oute a fyre from the Lorde and consumed the two hundred and fyftye men that offred cens.
And the Lord spake unto Moses saying: Speak unto Eleazer the son of Aaron the priest and let him take up the censers out of the burning and scatter the fire here and there / for the censers of these sinners are hallowed in their deaths: and let them be beaten in to thine pla•es and fastened upon the altar. For they offered them before the Lord / and therefore they are holy and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.
