Numbers 16:49 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 16:49

Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and
seven hundred
14,700. Thus what they were threatened with, that their carcasses should fall in the wilderness, ( Numbers 14:29 ) , was more and more fulfilled:

beside them that died about the matter of Korah;
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, ( Numbers 16:32 ) ; how many they were is not certain, but they were but few in comparison of these.
