Commentary on Numbers 16:34

Theological / Devotional

All Israel. Though the people were at a distance, having removed themselves (v. 27), the sound of the convulsion of the earth engulfing the rebels and of the victims’ shrieks of fear and dismay, caused them to flee still farther away.

Swallow us up also. Conscious of their previous murmuring and unbelief (ch. 14), and aware of their sympathy for the rebellious faction, they feared they might meet the same fate.
