18 E il fuoco arse la lor raunanza; La fiamma divampò gli empi.

Salmi 106:18 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 106:18

And a fire was kindled in their company
This seems to be the company of Korah, or however a part of it, the two hundred and fifty men that had censers, and so were of the Levitical race, as Korah was; this fire came from the Lord out of heaven.

The flame burned up the wicked;
the two hundred and fifty men with censers, ( Numbers 16:35 ) , this was an emblem of that fire which shall consume those that hurt the witnesses; or of that vengeance of eternal fire which wicked men will suffer for ever.

Salmi 106:18 In-Context

16 Oltre a ciò furono mossi d’invidia contro a Mosè, nel campo; E contro ad Aaronne, il Santo del Signore.

17 La terra si aperse, e tranghiottì Datan, E coperse il seguito di Abiram.

18 E il fuoco arse la lor raunanza; La fiamma divampò gli empi.

19 Fecero un vitello in Horeb, E adorarono una statua di getto;

20 E mutarono la lor gloria In una somiglianza di bue che mangia l’erba.
