SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:49
Y los que murieron de aquella mortandad fueron catorce mil setecientos, sin los muertos por el negocio de Coré.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 49. Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred , etc.] 14,700. Thus what they were threatened with, that their carcasses should fall in the wilderness, ( Numbers 14:29), was more and more fulfilled: beside them that died about the matter of Korah ; these are not taken into the number here, even the two hundred fifty men of Korah’s company, and the families of Dathan and Abiram, ( Numbers 16:32); how many they were is not certain, but they were but few in comparison of these.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 41-50 - The gaping earth was scarcely closed, before the same sins are agai committed, and all these warnings slighted. They called the rebels the people of the Lord; and find fault with Divine justice. The obstinac of Israel notwithstanding the terrors of God's law, as given on moun Sinai, and the terrors of his judgments, shows how necessary the grac of God is to change men's hearts and lives. Love will do what fea cannot. Moses and Aaron interceded with God for mercy, knowing ho great the provocation was. Aaron went, and burned incense between the living and the dead, not to purify the air, but to pacify an offende God. As one tender of the life of every Israelite, Aaron made all possible speed. We must render good for evil. Observe especially, tha Aaron was a type of Christ. There is an infection of sin in the world which only the cross and intercession of Jesus Christ can stay an remove. He enters the defiled and dying camp. He stands between the dead and the living; between the eternal Judge and the souls unde condemnation. We must have redemption through His blood, even the remission of sins. We admire the ready devotion of Aaron: shall we no bless and praise the unspeakable grace and love which filled the Saviour's heart, when he placed himself in our stead, and bought u with his life? Greatly indeed hath God commended his love towards us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us, Ro 5:8 __________________________________________________________________
