MISHNAH: The generation of the desert has no part in the World to Come, as it is said: in this desert they shall be terminated and there they will die, the words of Rebbi Aqiba. Rebbi Eliezer says, about them it says, assemble for Me My lovely ones, who sealed My Covenant by a sacrifice. The band of Korah will not be resurrected in the future, as it is said the earth covered them; they were lost from among the congregation, the words of Rebbi Aqiba. Rebbi Eliezer says, about them it says, the Eternal kills and brings to life, He sends down into the pit and raises up.

HALAKHAH: “The generation of the desert has no part in the World to Come,” and will not see the future, as it is said: in this desert they shall be terminated and there they will die. In this desert they shall be terminated, in this world, and there they will die, in the future; and so He says, what I swore in My rage, lest they come to My rest, the words of Rebbi Aqiba. Rebbi Eliezer says, about them it says, assemble for Me My lovely ones, who sealed My Covenant by a sacrifice. Rebbi Joshua said, I swore and I shall keep it; sometimes I do not keep it. Ḥanania the son of Rebbi Joshua’s brother says, it is written: what I swore in My rage; I swore in My rage, I am changing My mind. It was stated: Rebbi Simeon ben Menassia says, about them it says assemble Me My lovely ones, who performed acts of love for Me. The executors of My Covenant, who were extirpated by Me. By sacrifice, they elevated me and were sacrificed for My name. It was stated: Rebbi Joshua ben Qorḥa says, about these generations He says, those freed by the Eternal shall return. Rebbi says, these and those have part in the World to Come. What is the reason? It shall be on that day, a great ram’s horn will be blown, and those lost in the land of Assyria will come, these are the Ten Tribes, and those displaced in the land of Egypt, that is the generation of the desert. These and those will bow down before the Eternal on the Holy Mountain [and] in Jerusalem.

The band of Korah will not have part in the Future World and not be resurrected in the future. What is the reason? The desert covered them, in this world; they were lost from among the congregation, in the future. It was stated: Rebbi Jehudah ben Bathyra says, one understands from what is said, I erred like a lost sheep; look after Your servant, that just as the lost object mentioned there at the end will be searched for, so also the lost object mentioned here at the end will be searched for.

Who prayed for them? Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman said, Moses prayed for them, Reuben shall live and not die. Rebbi Joshua ben Levi said, Hannah prayed for them. This follows Rebbi Joshua ben Levi, as Rebbi Joshua ben Levi said: Korah’s band was continuously sinking until Hannah stood up and said, the Eternal kills and brings to life, He sends down into the pit and lifts up.
