Contradiction with Genesis 6:3
Explains that humans have a limited lifespan, while Numbers 16:29 implies a specific untimely death as a sign.

States that the same fate awaits all, contradicting the idea that specific death can be a divine sign.
Ecclesiastes 9:2: All [things come] alike to all: [there is] one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as [is] the good, so [is] the sinner; [and] he that sweareth, as [he] that feareth an oath.
