The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
All Commentaries on Psalms 106:17 Go To Psalms 106
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
15. "The earth opened," he saith, "and swallowed up Dathan, and covered over the congregation of Abiram" (ver. 17): "swallowed up" answereth to "covered over." Both Dathan and Abiram were equally concerned in a most sacrilegious schism.
