‏ Numbers 26:9-11

Num 1:16, Num 16:1, Num 16:2-35; Ps 106:17; Jude 1:11

earth opened Num 16:2, Num 16:31-35, Num 16:38, Num 27:3; Exod 16:35; Ps 106:17-18

together The Samaritan text does not intimate that Korah was swallowed up, but that he was burnt, as appears to have been the fact; and the Psalmist also (Ps 106:17), only mentions Dathan and Abiram as having been swallowed up. "And the earth swallowed them up, what time that company died; and the fire devoured Korah with the 250 men, who became a sign."

they became a sign Num 16:38; 1Sam 2:34; Jer 29:22; Ezek 14:8; 1Cor 10:6-10; 2Pet 2:6; Jude 1:7

It seems to be intimated in Num 16:27, Num 16:31-33, that the sons and the little ones of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, were swallowed up; but the text here expressly affirms, that the children of Korah "died not;" and their descendants were famous even in David's time. On a close inspection, however, of Num 26:27, we shall find, that the sons and the little ones of Dathan and Abiram alone are mentioned.
