3 אָבִינוּ מֵת בַּמִּדְבָּר וְהוּא לֹא־הָיָה בְּתֹוךְ הָעֵדָה הַנֹּועָדִים עַל־יְהוָה בַּעֲדַת־קֹרַח כִּי־בְחֶטְאֹו מֵת וּבָנִים לֹא־הָיוּ לֹו׃


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 3. That its approximate origin is the natural fear of the Lord, which ceases in the course of regeneration; that it has not been contaminated by profanity in worship through faith alone; that it involves the acknowledgement that man of himself is nothing but evil; and yet that it is entirely without truths.
