What began as a lovely spring day ended in a series of record-breaking unnatural disasters. When Korach and his cronies stood outside the Mishkan with their Ketores Pans, the earth opened up and “swallowed” Korach, his campaign staff, their families, and all their belongings.
Panic immediately broke out as bystanders scrambled away, fearing for their lives. Amid the chaos, a fire broke out and burned the 250 men holding Ketores pans. The Korach campaign had officially been terminated.
“That was the scariest thing I ever witnessed,” said Mr. Shlumiel Shrecklach, who witnessed the event. “I’m petrified, shaken, traumatized, and afraid that I’m starting to hear things as well. After the earth closed back up, I heard voices from within the ground saying, ‘Moshe is true and his Torah is true! We are the liars and evil ones.’ Am I just hearing things or what?!” "WHAT?!"
