49<\/strong>. them that died about the matter of Korah<\/em> ] i.e. the 250 princes. It should be noticed that the death of Korah himself is nowhere related in the chapter, Num 16:24<\/em><\/span> ; Num 16:27<\/em><\/span><\/em> a might seem to imply that Korah was about to be swallowed up in the earth with Dathan and Abiram; and this supposition is adopted by the writer of Num 26:10<\/span>. But apart from the critical reasons for distinguishing the narratives, and for reading ‘the tabernacle of Jehovah<\/em> ’ in Num 16:24<\/em><\/span> ; Num 16:27<\/em><\/span><\/em>, it would be very strange that Korah should have been separated from his adherents in their punishment. In the fusing of the two stories by the compiler, a statement of the personal fate of Korah fell out of the chapter.<\/p>\n Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred<\/strong>,…. 14,700. Thus what they were threatened with, that their carcasses should fall in the wilderness, Nu 14:29<\/span>, was more and more fulfilled:<\/p>\n beside them that died about the matter of Korah<\/strong>; these are not taken into the number here, even the two hundred fifty men of Korah’s company, and the families of Dathan and Abiram, Nu 16:32<\/span>; how many they were is not certain, but they were but few in comparison of these.<\/p>\n 49. Now they that died in the plague. Already three hundred, or thereabouts, had been destroyed on account of the conspiracy made with Korah; now a much larger number was added. And this, forsooth, is what the wicked reap from their obstinacy, that God being more and more provoked redoubles His punishments; even as He threatens that, unless those whom He chastises shall repent, he will deal “seven times more” severely with them. (Lev 26:18<\/span>.) Wherefore let us learn, when we are warned by His rebukes, to humble ourselves betimes beneath His mighty hand, since nothing is worse than to kick against the pricks; and let us always bear in mind what the psalm says, <\/p>\n “<\/p>\n Be ye not as the horse or as the mute, whose mouth must be held with bit and bridle; (because) many sorrows shall be to the wicked.” (Psa 32:9<\/span>.) <\/p>\n They rebelliously exclaimed that the people of the Lord were slain, when three hundred had perished; they now experience how much better it would have been to be dumb before God, and to give glory to His holy severity, than, instead of three hundred, to devote to destruction nearly fifty times as many. Let us, then, remember the admonition of Paul: <\/p>\n “<\/p>\n Let us beware lest we murmur, lest perchance the destroyer should destroy us,” (102) (1Co 10:10<\/span>\ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n for nothing is less tolerable in us than that we should frowardly presume to speak evil of God, when Scripture so often exhorts us to be silent in His presence. <\/p>\n (102) It will be seen that he gives the substance, and not the actual words, of St. Paul’s exhortation. <\/p>\n Behold the awful ravages of sin! Reader, contemplate, yet more the awful ravages of the first sin, by which death passed upon all men, because all have sinned. It is now nearly six thousand years since Adam’s original transgression, and yet the LORD’S anger manifested to sin by death is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
