Aaron saying separate your selves from among this Congregation that I may consume them in a moment And they fell upon their faces and said O God the God of the Spirits of all Flesh shall one Man sin and wilt thou be wrath with all the Congregation And the Lord spake unto Moses saying speak unto all the Congregation saying Get you up from about the Tabernacle of Korah Dathan and Abiram And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram and the Elders of Israel followed him And the spake unto all the Congregation saying Depart I pray you from the Tents of these Wicked Men and touch nothing of theirs least you be consumed in all their Sins So they gat them up from the Tabernacle of Korah Dathan and Abiram on every side and Dathan and Abiram came out and stood in the Door of their Tents and their Wives and their Sons and their little Children And Moses said Hereby shall ye know that the Lord hath sent me to do all these works for I have not done them of my 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 if the Lord make a new thing and the Earth open her Mouth and swallow them up with all that appertain unto them and they go down quick into the Pit then ye shall understand that these Men have provoked the Lord. And it came to pass as he had made an end of speaking all these words that the ground clave asunder that was under them And the Earth opened her Mouth and swallowed them up and their Houses and all the Men that appertained unto Kerah and all their Goods They and all that appertained to them went down alive into the Pit and the Earth closed upon them and they perished from among the Congregation And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them for they said Lest the Earth swallow us up also And there came out a Fire from the Lord and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered Incense Josephus in his History of the Antiquities of the Jews gives the following account of this dreadful Judgment That Moses making a large Prayer intermixt with Tears while he was speaking the Earth instantly trembled and shaking began to move like a Billow of the Sea raised by the violence of Wind at which all the People were sorely amazed after which an horrible and shattering Noise was made about their Tents and instantly the Earth opened and swallowed up both them and all that belonged to them insomuch that nothing which was theirs remained to be seen And the Earth in a moment closing again the vast gaping immediately was shut so that there was not the least appearance of what had happened Thus perished they all leaving behind them an example of Gods Power and Judgment and this accident was the more miserable in that there were none even of their Kinsfolks and Allies that had compassion of them so that the whole People forgetting what was passed allowed Gods Justice with joyful Acclamations esteeming them unworthy to be bewailed but to accounted as the Plague and Perverters of the People After this saith he there suddenly appeared so bright a Fire that the like was never kindled by the hand of man nor ever broke forth from the Bowels of burning Mountains nor could proceed from any natural cause but such as seemed to be kindled from Heaven exceeding light and flaming by the fury and violence of which those two hundred and fifty together with Korah were so consumed that there scarce appeared any relicks of their Carcases Only Aaron remained untouched to the end that it might appear this Fire came from Heaven This was in the year of the World 2515. XI A third tremendous Earthquake caused by the immediate Power of God without any apparent or natural Cause and whereby the Israelites gain'd a great Victory over the Philistines is in 1 Samuel 14. And it came to pass on a Day that Jonathan the Son of Saul said unto the Young Man that bare his Armour come and let us go over to the Philistines Garrison that is on the other side but he told not his Father And between the passages by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines there was a sharp Rock on the one side and a sharp Rock on the other side And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his Armour come and let us go over unto the Garrison of these uncircumcised it may be that the Lord will work for us for there is no restraint to the Lord to save by many or few And his Armour-bearer said unto him Do all that is in thine Heart turn thee behold I am with thee according to thy Heart Then said Jonathan behold we will pass over unto these Men and we will discover our selves unto them if they say unto us Tarry until we come to you then we will stand still in our place and will not go up unto them But if they say thus Come up unto us then we will go up for the Lord hath delivered them into our hand and this shall be a sign unto us And both of them discovered themselves to the Garrison of the Philistines and the Philistines said Behold the Hebrews come forth out of their holes where they had hid themselves And the men of the Garrison answered Jonathan and his Armour bearer and said Come up to us and we will shew you a thing And Jonathan said unto his Armour bearer Come up after me for the Lord hath delivered them into the hand of Israel And Jonathan climbed up on his Hands and upon his Feet and his Armour bearer after him and they fell before Jonathan and his Armour bearer slew after him And that first slaughter which Jonathan and his Armour bearer made was about twenty men within as it were an half Acre of Land which a yoak of Oxen might Plow And there was trembling in the Host in the Field and among all the People the Garrison and the Spoilers they also trembled and the Earth quaked so that it was a very great trembling a trembling of God And the Watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked and behold the multitude melted away and they went on beating down one another Then said Saul unto the People that were with him Number now and see who is gone from us And when they had numbred behold Jonathan and his Armour-bearer were not there And Saul said unto Ahiah Bring hither the Ark of God for the Ark of God was at that time with the Children of Israel And it came to pass that while Saul talked unto the Priest that the noise that was in the Host of the Philistines went on and increased and Saul said unto the Priest withdraw thine hand And Saul and all the People that were with him assembled themselves and they came to the Battel
