Musar zu Bamidbar 16:27
וַיֵּעָל֗וּ מֵעַ֧ל מִשְׁכַּן־קֹ֛רֶח דָּתָ֥ן וַאֲבִירָ֖ם מִסָּבִ֑יב וְדָתָ֨ן וַאֲבִירָ֜ם יָצְא֣וּ נִצָּבִ֗ים פֶּ֚תַח אָֽהֳלֵיהֶ֔ם וּנְשֵׁיהֶ֥ם וּבְנֵיהֶ֖ם וְטַפָּֽם׃
Sie entfernten sich von der Wohnung Korahs, Datans und Abirams ringsum. Aber Datan und Abiram traten heraus, sie standen an der Tür ihrer Zelte mit ihren Frauen, Söhnen und Kleinen.
Shemirat HaLashon
This is the language of the Midrash Rabbah on Korach: "R. Berechiah said: 'How severe is machloketh! For the upper beth-din punishes only from twenty years and above, and the lower beth-din from thirteen and above; but in the machloketh of Korach, one-year-old infants were swallowed up in the depths of Sheol, as it is written (Numbers 16:27): '…and their wives and their sons and their infants… (Ibid. 33): …went down — they and all that was theirs, alive into Sheol.'"
