“And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the Lord hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.”
But if the LORD brings about something totally new, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them, with everything that belongs to them, and they go down alive into the realm of the dead, then you will know that these men have treated the LORD with contempt' — the extraordinary reversal: instead of normal death, the earth itself will open and consume the rebels living, a cosmic sign that their contempt (nas'u) for God has provoked creation itself to rebel against them.
