57  The families and number of the Levites.

Verse 1

Verse 7

1:16, 16:1,2-35, Psalms 106:17, Jude 1:11

Verse 10

And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up together with Korah, when that company died, what time the fire devoured two hundred and fifty men: and they became a sign.
earth opened
16:2,31-35,38, 27:3, Exodus 16:35, Psalms 106:17,18
together
The Samaritan text does not intimate that Korah was swallowed up, but that he was burnt, as appears to have been the fact; and the Psalmist also, (Ps 106:17,) 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."
