Numbers 16:22

Of the spirits, i.e. of souls, as the word spirit in Scripture is oft used, as Psalms 31:5; Psalms 77:3; Proverbs 17:22; Ecclesiastes 12:7; Luke 23:46; Acts 7:59. And this is no empty title here, but very emphatical and argmmentative, thus, Thou art the Maker of spirits, Zechariah 12:1, destroy not thy own workmanship, Isaiah 64:8. O thou who art the preserver of men, and of their spirits; the Lord of spirits, Job 12:10; who as thou mayst justly destroy this people, so thou canst preserve whom thou pleasest: the Father of spirits, Hebrews 12:9; O deal mercifully with thy own children: the Searcher of spirits, thou canst distinguish between those who have maliciously raised this tumult, and those whose ignorance and simple credulity hath made them a prey to crafty seducers.

Of all flesh, i.e. of all mankind: the word flesh is put for men, as Genesis 6:13; Job 12:10; Isaiah 40:5,Isaiah 40:6; Ezekiel 20:48; Ezekiel 21:4,Ezekiel 21:5.

One man, to wit, Korah, the ringleader of this sedition.
