Why does the Pasuk not mention Korach and his band of followers, who were burned by a fire that came out from before Hashem?

1.

Ramban: Because any Zar who transgresses the La'av of burning Ketores was subject to punishment, 1 in which case it is not confined to the sins of the desert.


1

Ramban: See Korach Bamidbar, 17:5. Indeed, King Uziyah performed the same sin and was punished - See Melachim 2, 2:19 - Even though he was punished with Tzara'as, and not burning. Refer to Bamidbar, 17:5:2:2.

What are the implications of "be'Kerev Kol Yisrael"?

1.

Rashi: It implies that, wherever a member of Dasan and Aviram's family fled to, the ground opened and swallowed him up. 1

Rashi: Not by creating a separate crater - since the Torah wrote in Bamidbar 16:32 "Vatiftach ha'Aretz es Piyhah" (singular) - but by creating a slope that led to one central crater, into which he rolled.

3)

What is the definition of "Kol ha'Yekum asher be'Ragleihem"?

1.

Rashi: It refers to all their money (property) which places a man on his feet. 1
