Números 16:31 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 16:31

And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all
these things
As soon as he had finished his discourse, which was addressed to the congregation, and, according to Josephus F21, after a long prayer to God, which that writer gives at large; immediately so it was,

that the ground clave asunder that [was] under them;
on which they stood, not from any natural cause, as by subterranean volcano, forcibly making their way and bursting the earth, and so getting vent, which has been thought to be the cause of earthquakes; but this was by the immediate hand and almighty power of God, and came to pass just as Moses suggested it would, and as soon as he had uttered his words, which made it the more observable.

Números 16:31 In-Context

29 Si como mueren todos los hombres murieren 茅stos, 贸 si fueren ellos visitados 谩 la manera de todos los hombres, Jehov谩 no me envi贸.
30 Mas si Jehov谩 hiciere una nueva cosa, y la tierra abriere su boca, y los tragare con todas sus cosas, y descendieren vivos al abismo, entonces conocer茅is que estos hombres irritaron 谩 Jehov谩.
31 Y aconteci贸, que en acabando 茅l de hablar todas estas palabras, rompi贸se la tierra que estaba debajo de ellos:
32 Y abri贸 la tierra su boca, y trag贸los 谩 ellos, y 谩 sus casas, y 谩 todos los hombres de Cor茅, y 谩 toda su hacienda.
33 Y ellos, con todo lo que ten铆an, descendieron vivos al abismo, y cubri贸los la tierra, y perecieron de en medio de la congregaci贸n.
