Contextual Overview

13 They soon forgot his works. They didn't wait for his counsel, 14 But gave in to craving in the desert, And tested God in the wasteland. 15 He gave them their request, But sent leanness into their soul. 16 They envied Moses also in the camp, And Aaron, Yahweh's saint. 17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram. 18 A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burned up the wicked. 19 They made a calf in Horeb, And worshiped a molten image. 20 Thus they exchanged their glory For an image of a bull that eats grass. 21 They forgot God, their Savior, Who had done great things in Egypt, 22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, And awesome things by the Red Sea.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And a fire was kindled in their company,.... This seems to be the company of Korah, or however a part of it, the two hundred and fifty men that had censers, and so were of the Levitical race, as Korah was; this fire came from the Lord out of heaven.

The flame burned up the wicked; the two hundred and fifty men with censers, Numbers 16:35, this was an emblem of that fire which shall consume those that hurt the witnesses; or of that vengeance of eternal fire which wicked men will suffer for ever.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

On these verses see Numbers 16:31-35. This refers to the time when they rebelled against Moses.
