in his owne sinne] His owne sinne is opposed to the sinne of Korah, which was not onely his owne, that is, not confined to himselfe by his owne sufferings, but had a malignant and deadly operation upon others for his sake; such a sinne did not their father commit; he had his part in the common fault of murmuring upon the report of the spies, coming out of Canaan, and in that he died, and with him died the punishment of his sin, which was so his own, that his posteritie should not suffer for that fault, Deuteronomy 1:39.
