Psalm CVI.

15.

"The earth opened," he saith, "and swallowed up Dathan, and covered over the congregation of Abiram" (ver. 17): "swallowed up" answereth to "covered over." Both Dathan and Abiram were equally concerned in a most sacrilegious schism. 1

  1. [Numb. xvi. 1; Jude 11. Dathan and Abiram were laymen; Korah and others were Levites who presumed to exercise the higher offices of the priesthood. Numb. xvi. 9, 10. Compare 2 Chron. xxvi. 18.--C.] ↩
