only mentions Dathan and Abiram as having been swallowed up. "And the earth swallowed them up, what time that company died; and the fire devoured Korah with the 250 men, who became a sign."they became a signNumbers 16:38; 1 Samuel 2:34; Jeremiah 29:22; Ezekiel 14:8; 1 Corinthians 10:6-10; 2 Peter 2:6; Jude 1:7ReciprocalExodus 6:21 - Korah; Numbers 16:1 - Korah; 16:35 - And there; Deuteronomy 11:6 - he did unto; 2 Samuel 20:19 - swallow; 1 Chronicles 6:37 - Korah; Proverbs 1:12 - whole
Verse 11 ItNumbers 16:27, 16:31-33, that the sons and the little ones of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, were swallowed up; but the text here expressly affirms, that the children of Korah "died not;" and their descendants were famous even in David's time. On a close inspection, however, of 26:27, we shall find, that the sons and the little ones of Dathan and Abiram alone are mentioned.

-1,820



It should be observed, that among these there was not one of the former census, except Joshua and Caleb. - See note on Numbers 26:64, and see note on 26:65. Thus, though there was such an amazing increase in seven tribes, yet so great was the decrease in the other five tribes, that the balance against the present census is 1,820, as appears above. Notwithstanding the amazing increase in some, and decrease in other tribes, the same sort of proportion is kept in their several divisions; so as to keep the division in the front the largest, and that in the rear the next.
