Musar sobre Números 16:27
וַיֵּעָל֗וּ מֵעַ֧ל מִשְׁכַּן־קֹ֛רֶח דָּתָ֥ן וַאֲבִירָ֖ם מִסָּבִ֑יב וְדָתָ֨ן וַאֲבִירָ֜ם יָצְא֣וּ נִצָּבִ֗ים פֶּ֚תַח אָֽהֳלֵיהֶ֔ם וּנְשֵׁיהֶ֥ם וּבְנֵיהֶ֖ם וְטַפָּֽם׃
Subiram, pois, do derredor da habitação de Corá, Datã e Abirão. E Datã e Abirão saíram, e se puseram à porta das suas tendas, juntamente com suas mulheres, e seus filhos e seus pequeninos.
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.'"
