Contextual Overview

13 But they quickly forgot what he had done; they did not wait for his advice. 14 They became greedy for food in the desert, and they tested God there. 15 So he gave them what they wanted, but he also sent a terrible disease among them. 16 The people in the camp were jealous of Moses and of Aaron, the holy priest of the Lord . 17 Then the ground opened up and swallowed Dathan and closed over Abiram's group. 18 A fire burned among their followers, and flames burned up the wicked. 19 The people made a gold calf at Mount Sinai and worshiped a metal statue. 20 They exchanged their glorious God for a statue of a bull that eats grass. 21 They forgot the God who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt, 22 who had done miracles in Egypt and amazing things by the Red Sea.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,.... One of the heads of the conspirators against Moses and Aaron; the earth clave asunder under him and his company; opened itself, or its mouth, and devoured them at once. This was a new, marvellous, and unheard of thing, and which manifestly showed the divine displeasure and resentment at their proceedings; and served greatly to confirm the authority and office of Moses and Aaron; see Numbers 16:30.

And covered the company of Abiram; another of the heads of the confederacy. Korah is not mentioned, though the earth swallowed up him and all that belonged to him, their houses and their goods; some think the reason is because it was well known that this was his case, when Dathan and Abiram are not so expressly mentioned in the history by Moses; as also because the sons of Korah were now in esteem as singers; nor is On the son of Peleth mentioned, because, as Kimchi says, he repented, and desisted from the conspiracy.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

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