Deuteronomio 11:6 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 11:6

And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the
son of Reuben
When they with Korah and his company quarrelled with Moses and Aaron about the priesthood, ( Numbers 16:1 ) , how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up; the history of which see in ( Numbers 16:30-33 )

and their households and their tents;
not their houses and their tents, as the Septuagint and some other versions; for though the word signifies houses, and is often used for them, yet here it must signify families, their wives, and children; since they had no houses, but dwelt in tents, all which were swallowed up with them:

and all the substance that was in their possession;
gold, silver, cattle, household goods, and whatever they were possessed of:

or was at their feet
^F3; or which followed them, their living creatures; or was for them, as Aben Ezra interprets it; for, their use, service, and necessity: and this was done

in the midst of all Israel;
openly and publicly, they beholding it, as follows; and therefore should be rendered, "before all Israel" ^F4; and, besides, the tents of Dathan and Abiram, Reubenites, were not in the midst of Israel.

Deuteronomio 11:6 In-Context

4 lo que hizo al ejército de Egipto, a sus caballos y a sus carros, al hacer que el agua del mar Rojo los cubriera cuando os perseguían, y el SEÑOR los destruyó completamente;

5 lo que os hizo en el desierto hasta que llegasteis a este lugar,

6 y lo que hizo a Datán y Abiram, los hijos de Eliab, hijo de Rubén, cuando la tierra abrió su boca y los tragó a ellos, a sus familias, a sus tiendas y a todo ser viviente que los seguía, en medio de todo Israel.

7 Pero vuestros ojos han visto toda la gran obra que el SEÑOR ha hecho.

8 Guardad, pues, todos los mandamientos que os ordeno hoy, para que seáis fuertes, y entréis y toméis posesión de la tierra a la cual entráis para poseerla;
