Definitions for Numbers 26:10

Became - Was exactly suited for; was fitting.

Clarke's Numbers 26:10 Bible Commentary

Together with Korah - The Samaritan text does not intimate that Korah was swallowed up, but that he was burnt, as appears in fact to have been the case. And the earth swallowed them up, what time that company died; and the fire devoured Korah with the two hundred and fifty men, who became a sign.

Barnes's Numbers 26:10 Bible Commentary

Together with Korah - i. e., they were engulfed at the same time that Korah perished, for Korah himself appears to bare died among the two hundred and fifty incense offerers at the door of the tabernacle, not with Dathan and Abiram (compare Numbers 16:32 note).

Wesley's Numbers 26:10 Bible Commentary

26:10 With Korah - According to this translation Korah was not consumed by fire with his two hundred and fifty men, but swallowed up by the earth. But others rather think he was devoured by the fire, and render these words, and the things of Korah, or belonging to Korah, namely, his tent and goods, and family, children excepted, as here follows.A sign - God made them a monument or example, to warn others not to rebel against God, or magistracy, nor to usurp the priestly office.
