And The Earth Swallowed Up The Enemies Of Moses And They Went Down To Sheol

Me: what are the exact scriptures in the bible that tell the story of Moses speaking with God and God ending up causing an earth quake to swallow up the enemies?

You're likely thinking of the account in Numbers chapter 16 concerning the rebellion of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram against Moses and Aaron's leadership. While it wasn't a direct conversation between Moses and God that immediately triggered the earthquake, it was Moses' prayer and God's subsequent judgment that resulted in the earth swallowing the rebels.   

Here are the relevant scriptures from the NASB 1995 translation:

Numbers 16:28-33:

Moses said, “By this you shall know that the LORD has sent me to do all these deeds; for this is not my doing.  If these men die a natural death as all men die, or if they suffer the fate of all men, then the LORD has not sent me.  But if the LORD brings about something entirely new, and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that is theirs, and they descend alive into Sheol, then you will know that these men have spurned the LORD.”   

As he finished speaking all these words, the ground that was under them split open; and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households, and all the men who belonged to Korah, and all their possessions.  So they and all that belonged to them went down alive into Sheol; and the earth closed over them, and they vanished from the midst of the assembly.   

Key points from this passage:

Moses' Challenge (verses 28-29): Moses challenges the people, stating that if the rebels die naturally, then God did not send him.

Moses' Petition (verse 30): Moses then asks the LORD to do something "entirely new" as a sign of judgment against the rebels. He specifically asks for the ground to open and swallow them alive into Sheol (the realm of the dead).   

God's Action (verses 31-33): Immediately after Moses finishes speaking, the ground splits open, and the earth swallows Korah, Dathan, Abiram, their households, their followers, and all their possessions. They go down alive into Sheol, and the earth closes over them.   

While there isn't a direct dialogue recorded at that exact moment between God and Moses prompting the earthquake, Moses' prayer acts as the catalyst, and the subsequent event is clearly depicted as a direct act of God in response to the rebellion against His chosen leaders. Moses acts as God's spokesperson and the instrument through which this divine judgment is executed.
