Psalm 106:18

18 Le feu embrasa leur troupe, La flamme consuma les méchants.

Psalm 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.

17 La terre s'ouvrit et engloutit Dathan, Et elle se referma sur la troupe d'Abiram;

18 Le feu embrasa leur troupe, La flamme consuma les méchants.

19 Ils firent un veau en Horeb, Ils se prosternèrent devant une image de fonte,

20 Ils échangèrent leur gloire Contre la figure d'un boeuf qui mange l'herbe.
