Números 16:31 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 16:31

And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all
these things
As soon as he had finished his discourse, which was addressed to the congregation, and, according to Josephus F21, after a long prayer to God, which that writer gives at large; immediately so it was,

that the ground clave asunder that [was] under them;
on which they stood, not from any natural cause, as by subterranean volcano, forcibly making their way and bursting the earth, and so getting vent, which has been thought to be the cause of earthquakes; but this was by the immediate hand and almighty power of God, and came to pass just as Moses suggested it would, and as soon as he had uttered his words, which made it the more observable.

Números 16:31 In-Context

29 si 茅stos mueren como mueren todos los hombres o si sufren la suerte de todos los hombres, entonces el SE脩OR no me envi贸.
30 Pero si el SE脩OR hace algo enteramente nuevo y la tierra abre su boca y los traga con todo lo que les pertenece, y descienden vivos al Seol , entonces sabr茅is que estos hombres han menospreciado al SE脩OR.
31 Y aconteci贸 que cuando termin贸 de hablar todas estas palabras, la tierra debajo de ellos se parti贸,
32 y la tierra abri贸 su boca y se los trag贸, a ellos y a sus casas y a todos los hombres de Cor茅 con todos sus bienes.
33 Ellos y todo lo que les pertenec铆a descendieron vivos al Seol; y la tierra los cubri贸 y perecieron de en medio de la asamblea.
