Good reference.
A similar event is shown in Revelation 12 concerning the land swallowing the river of water coming from the Dragon.
Any idea what the "river of water" is symbolizing?
Jude 1:11
Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain,
have run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit,
and perished in the rebellion of Korah.
Berean Study Bible)
Revelation 12:
15 Then from the mouth of the serpent spewed water like a river to overtake the woman and sweep her away in the torrent.
16 But the land helped the woman and opened its mouth to swallow up the river that had poured from the dragon’s mouth
Numbers 16:
31 As soon as Moses had finished saying all this, the ground beneath them split open,
32 and the land opened its mouth and swallowed them and their households, all Korah’s men and all their possessions.
33 They went down alive into Sheol with all they owned. The earth closed over them, and they vanished from the assembly.
34 At their cries, all the people of Israel who were around them fled, saying, “The land may swallow us too!”
35 And fire came forth from the LORD and consumed the 250 men who were offering the incense.

One man studied and found 348 allusions (not illusions, Light) in Revelation from the Old Testament. You see the similarity in wording and the context mirrored in Revelation and the particular Old Testament story, and immediately can recognize the reference source!
That's IF you know the bible well enough to even notice that.
95 of the 348 plain references used in Revelation as taken from the Old Testament are repeated in Revelation.
That makes about 250 Old Testament passages are cited. How many chapters are in Revelation? 22.
That makes about TEN OLD TESTAMENT REFERENCES FOR EVERY CHAPTER!
We know from Genesis 3:15 that Christ is the seed of the woman who would destroy Satan.
Although I am not sure of this interpretation, it could be a reference to the flood of Noah.
It would be through the descendants of Noah that Christ would come.
