This phrase refers to the Israelites obeying Moses' warning to distance themselves from the rebellious leaders Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. The context is a rebellion against Moses and Aaron's leadership, which is seen as a challenge to God's appointed order. The act of moving away signifies a separation from sin and rebellion, a theme echoed in other scriptures such as <a href="/2_corinthians/6-17.htm">2 Corinthians 6:17</a>, which calls believers to separate from unrighteousness. The dwellings of these men were likely tents, as the Israelites were still in the wilderness, emphasizing the transient nature of their rebellion against God's eternal plan.Meanwhile, Dathan and Abiram had come out and stood at the entrances to their tents Dathan and Abiram's action of standing at the entrances of their tents can be seen as a defiant posture, symbolizing their open rebellion and lack of repentance. In ancient Near Eastern culture, the entrance of a tent or house was a place of significance, often used for judgment or important announcements. Their presence at the entrance indicates their readiness to confront Moses and their unwillingness to submit to God's authority. This defiance is reminiscent of other biblical figures who stood against God's chosen leaders, such as Saul's rebellion against David.with their wives and children and infants. The inclusion of their families highlights the communal aspect of sin and its consequences. In the ancient world, the actions of the head of a household often affected the entire family, as seen in the story of Achan in <a href="/joshua/7.htm">Joshua 7</a>. This phrase underscores the seriousness of rebellion against God, as it not only impacts the individual but also those around them. It serves as a sobering reminder of the generational impact of sin and the importance of leading one's family in righteousness, as emphasized in <a href="/deuteronomy/6-6.htm">Deuteronomy 6:6-7</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/k/korah.htm">Korah</a> A Levite who led a rebellion against Moses and Aaron, challenging their leadership and the priesthood. 2. <a href="/topical/d/dathan_and_abiram.htm">Dathan and Abiram</a> Reubenites who joined Korah in his rebellion, questioning Moses' leadership and God's chosen order. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_dwellings.htm">The Dwellings</a> The tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, which became the focal point of God's impending judgment. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_congregation.htm">The Congregation</a> The Israelites who were instructed to distance themselves from the rebels to avoid sharing in their punishment. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_rebellion.htm">The Rebellion</a> A significant event where Korah, Dathan, and Abiram opposed Moses, leading to divine judgment.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_danger_of_rebellion.htm">The Danger of Rebellion</a> Rebellion against God’s appointed leaders is ultimately rebellion against God Himself.
