Numbers 16:27 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Korah being a Kohathite, his tent could not have been in the Reubenite camp; and it does not appear that he himself was on the spot where Dathan and Abiram stood with their families. Their attitude of defiance indicated their daring and impenitent character-equally regardless of God and man.
