"And they rose upª ° beforeª Moses,ª with certain² ¹ of the childrenª ¹ of Israel,ª two hundredª and fiftyª princesª of the assembly,ª famousª in the congregation,ª men² ¹ of renown:ª" {Num 16:2} + "And it came to pass,¹ as he had made an endª ° of speakingª °¹ all¹ these¹ words,ª that the groundª clave asunderª ° that¹ [was] under¹ them: ... And there came outª ° a fireª from¹ ¹ the LORD,ª and consumedª ° the¹ two hundredª and fiftyª menª that offeredª ° incense.ª" {Num 16:31-35} + "¹ The censersª of these¹ sinnersª against their own souls,ª let them makeª °¹ them broadª platesª [for] a coveringª of the altar:ª for¹ they offeredª ° them beforeª the LORD,ª therefore they are hallowed:ª ° and they shall be¹ a signª unto the childrenª of Israel.ª" {Num 16:38} + "Our fatherª diedª ° in the wilderness,ª and he¹ was¹ not¹ inª the companyª of them that gathered themselves togetherª ° against¹ the LORDª in the companyª of Korah;ª but¹ diedª ° in his own sin,ª and had¹ no¹ sons.ª" {Num 27:3} + "And the childrenª of Israelª did eatª °¹ mannaª fortyª years,ª until¹ they cameª ° to¹ a landª inhabited;ª ° they did eatª °¹ manna,ª until¹ they cameª ° unto¹ the bordersª of the landª of Canaan.ª" {Exd 16:35} + "The earthª openedª ° and swallowed upª ° Dathan,ª and coveredª °¹ the companyª of Abiram.ª ...

together:
The Samaritan text does not intimate that Korah was swallowed up, but that he was burnt, as appears to have been the fact; and the Psalmist also ("The earthª openedª ° and swallowed upª ° Dathan,ª and coveredª °¹ the companyª of Abiram.ª" {Psa 106:17}), only mentions Dathan and Abiram as having been swallowed up. "And the earth swallowed them up, what time that company died; and the fire devoured Korah with the 250 men, who became a sign."

they became a sign:
"¹ The censersª of these¹ sinnersª against their own souls,ª let them makeª °¹ them broadª platesª [for] a coveringª of the altar:ª for¹ they offeredª ° them beforeª the LORD,ª therefore they are hallowed:ª ° and they shall be¹ a signª unto the childrenª of Israel.ª" {Num 16:38} + "And this¹ [shall be] a signª unto thee, that¹ shall comeª ° upon¹ thy twoª sons,ª on¹ Hophniª and Phinehas;ª in oneª dayª they shall dieª ° bothª of them." {1Sm 2:34} + "And of¹ them shall be taken upª ° a curseª by all¹ the captivityª of Judahª which¹ [are] in Babylon,ª saying,ª ° The LORDª makeª ° thee like Zedekiahª and like Ahab,ª whom¹ the kingª of Babylonª roastedª ° in the fire;ª" {Jer 29:22} + "And I will setª ° my faceª against that¹ man,ª and will make² °¹ him a signª and a proverb,ª and I will cut him offª ° from the midstª ¹ of my people;ª and ye shall knowª ° that¹ I¹ [am] the LORD.ª" {Ezk 14:8} + "Nowª these thingsª wereª ° ourª examples,ª to the intent² weª should² ° not² lust after¹ ¹ ¹ evil² things,² ¹ asª they alsoª lusted.ª ° ... Neitherª murmur¹ ye,² ° asª someª of themª alsoª murmured,ª ° andª were destroyedª ° ofª the¹ destroyer.ª" {1Co 10:6-10} + "Andª turning² ° the cities² of Sodom² and² Gomorrha² into ashesª °¹ ¹ ¹ ¹ condemnedª ° [them] with an overthrow,ª makingª ° [them] an ensampleª unto those that after shouldª ° live ungodly;ª °" {2Pe 2:6} + "Even asª Sodomª andª Gomorrha,ª andª the¹ citiesª aboutª themª in like² ² manner,ª ¹ giving themselves over to fornication,ª ° andª goingª ° afterª strangeª flesh,ª are set forth¹ for² ° an example,ª sufferingª ° the vengeanceª of eternalª fire.ª" {Jde 1:7}
