But apart from the critical reasons for distinguishing the narratives, and for reading -the tabernacle of Jehovah" in Numbers 16:24; Numbers 16:27, it would be very strange that Korah should have been separated from his adherents in their punishment. In the fusing of the two stories by the compiler, a statement of the personal fate of Korah fell out of the chapter.
