Commentary on Numbers 16:32

Theological / Devotional

Swallowed them up. An instantaneous act of God to prevent the spread of a rebellious spirit that had already perverted the entire congregation.

All the men. This may refer to members of Korah’s family, though no mention is made of the young children of his household (see ch. 26:11). Again, it may be speaking of heathen slaves or of Israelites who were followers of Korah.
