“And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that was in their possession, in the midst of all Israel:”
What he did to Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab the Reubenite, when the earth opened its mouth right in the middle of all Israel and swallowed them, along with their households, their tents and every living thing that belonged to them — the Korah rebellion (Num 16) is invoked as evidence of divine judgment on covenant-breakers. The earth's opening mouth becomes the LORD's instrument against rebellion.
