17 dthe earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,
and covered the company of Abiram.
18 eFire also broke out in their company;
the flame burned up the wicked.
19 They fmade a calf in Horeb
and worshiped a metal image.
20They gexchanged the glory of God ▼
▼Hebrew exchanged their glory
for the image of an ox that eats grass.
21They iforgot God, their Savior,
who had done great things in Egypt,
22wondrous works in jthe land of Ham,
and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
23Therefore khe said he would destroy them—
had not Moses, his lchosen one,
mstood in the breach before him,
to turn away his wrath from destroying them.
