Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Numbers 16:29
If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; [then] the LORD hath not sent me.
i.e.
If these men die by a natural death, or by plague, or sword, or some usual judgment, I am content that you take me for an impostor, falsely pretending to be sent of God. This he might well say, because he was inspired by God to say this, and infallibly assured by God that this should be done.

If these men die the common death of all men,…. Or “as every man dies” r, or the generality of men, who for the most part die of one disease or another, as a fever, and the like, or through old age:
or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; with such visitations as men in all ages for their sins are visited with, meaning public calamities, such as pestilence, famine, and sword:
[then] the Lord hath not sent me; it may be concluded that I had no mission nor commission from the Lord to do what I have done, but may be reckoned a deceiver and an impostor; and I am content to be accounted so, should either of the above things be the case of these men.
