וְאִם־בְּרִיאָ֞ה יִבְרָ֣א יְהוָ֗ה וּפָצְתָ֨ה הָאֲדָמָ֤ה אֶת־פִּ֙יהָ֙ וּבָלְעָ֤ה אֹתָם֙ וְאֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁ֣ר לָהֶ֔ם וְיָרְד֥וּ חַיִּ֖ים שְׁאֹ֑לָה וִֽידַעְתֶּ֕ם כִּ֧י נִֽאֲצ֛וּ הָאֲנָשִׁ֥ים הָאֵ֖לֶּה אֶת־יְהוָֽה׃
Mais si l’Éternel produit un phénomène; si la terre ouvre son sein pour les engloutir avec tout ce qui est à eux, et qu’ils descendent vivants dans la tombe, vous saurez alors que ces hommes ont offensé l’Éternel."
Jerusalem Talmud Sanhedrin
90Num. 16:33.They and everything that belonged to them descended alive into the pit. Rebbi Berekhiah in the name of Rebbi Ḥelbo, even their names flew away from their papyrus rolls90aGreek τόμος, “piece, roll of papyrus, volume”.. Rebbi Yose ben Ḥanina said, even one of their needles that was in the hand of an Israel as a loan was swallowed up with them, for it is written: They and everything that belonged to them descended alive into the pit. Who prayed for them? Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman said, Moses prayed for them, Reuben shall live and not die91Deut. 33:6, this refers to Datan and Abiram from the tribe of Reuben.. 92Midrash Shemuel ed. Buber 5(12). Rebbi Joshua ben Levi said, Hannah prayed for them. This is Rebbi Joshua ben Levi’s opinion, as Rebbi Joshua ben Levi said in the name of Rebbi Yose: Koraḥ’s (opinion) [band]G was continuously sinking until Hannah stood up and said, the Eternal kills and brings to life, He sends down into the pit and lifts931S. 2:6. She was married to a descendant of Korah’s (2 Chr. 6:18–23)..
