Is it true that two different words in the Hebrew are rendered congregation in this verse (and Num. 16:19), and that this could indicate that the congregation that followed the summons of Korah to the tabernacle may have been much smaller than that of all Israel?

The only word for "congregation" that I see is עדה.
