("From here they said: Woe to the wicked and woe to his neighbor; those three tribes who were neighbors to Korach and his congregation in the south perished with him in his division." – Midrash Tanchuma (Varsha), Parashat Bamidbar 12; and: "Perhaps the earth will open its mouth and swallow not only Korach but all who happen to be nearby at that moment, for our sages already said: 'Woe to the wicked and woe to his neighbor.'" – Chaim Bar / Notsot, 81)
