Números 16:33 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 16:33

They, and all that [appertained] unto them, went down alive
into the pit
The grave which the opening earth made for them, they and their families:

and the earth closed upon them;
and covered them over; this it did of itself, as Aben Ezra remarks: this was a wonderful instance of almighty power, that it should open in such large fissures as to swallow up such a number of men, with their tents, goods, and cattle, and then close again so firmly, as not to have the least appearance upon it of what had happened, as Josephus observes F26,

and they perished from among the congregation;
and had a name and a place no more with them.

Números 16:33 In-Context

31 Y aconteci贸 que cuando termin贸 de hablar todas estas palabras, la tierra debajo de ellos se parti贸,
32 y la tierra abri贸 su boca y se los trag贸, a ellos y a sus casas y a todos los hombres de Cor茅 con todos sus bienes.
33 Ellos y todo lo que les pertenec铆a descendieron vivos al Seol; y la tierra los cubri贸 y perecieron de en medio de la asamblea.
34 Y todos los israelitas que estaban alrededor de ellos huyeron a sus gritos, pues dec铆an: 隆No sea que la tierra nos trague!
35 Sali贸 tambi茅n fuego del SE脩OR y consumi贸 a los doscientos cincuenta hombres que ofrec铆an el incienso.
