Numbers 26:10

“And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, etc.] Not only Dathan and Abiram, but their wives and children, their houses and tents, and all their goods, (see <041632>Numbers 16:32,33) together with Korah; the words being thus rendered, and standing in such close connection with the preceding, some have concluded from hence that Korah was swallowed up with them in the earth; whereas he seems rather to have been at that time with the two hundred and fifty men that had censers at the door of the tabernacle, and was consumed by fire with them, (see <041616>Numbers 16:1619,40) and, indeed, it is suggested here, for the phrase may be rendered, “and the things of Korah” f416; what…”

“the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up together with Korah--rather, "the things of Korah." (See on Num 16:35; compare Psa 106:17).”

“Together with Korah - i. e., they were engulfed at the same time that Korah perished, for Korah himself appears to bare died among the two hundred and fifty incense offerers at the door of the tabernacle, not with Dathan and Abiram (compare Numbers 16:32 note). return to 'Top of Page'”

“With Korah - According to this translation Korah was not consumed by fire with his two hundred and fifty men, but swallowed up by the earth. But others rather think he was devoured by the fire, and render these words, and the things of Korah, or belonging to Korah, namely, his tent and goods, and family, children excepted, as here follows. A sign - God made them a monument or example, to warn others not to rebel against God, or magistracy, nor to usurp the priestly office. Numbers 26:11”

“earth opened: Num 16:2, Num 16:31-35, Num 16:38, Num 27:3; Exo 16:35; Psa 106:17, Psa 106:18 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 ( Psa 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; Sa1 2:34; Jer 29:22; Eze 14:8; Co1 10:6-10; Pe2 2:6; Jde 1:7 Numbers 26:11”
