This moment underscores the need for obedience to God's commands, a recurring theme throughout the Pentateuch. The congregation's role is pivotal, as they are witnesses to God's power and justice.<p><b>to move away</b><br>This phrase indicates a physical and spiritual separation. It serves as a warning to avoid association with sin and rebellion. The act of moving away symbolizes repentance and the need to distance oneself from those who oppose God's will. This concept is echoed in the New Testament, where believers are urged to flee from sin and pursue righteousness (<a href="/2_timothy/2-22.htm">2 Timothy 2:22</a>).<p><b>from the dwellings</b><br>The dwellings represent the physical space occupied by Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, but also symbolize their influence and rebellion. In ancient Israel, one's dwelling was not just a home but a representation of one's household and legacy. The call to move away from these dwellings is a call to reject the rebellion and its consequences.<p><b>of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram</b><br>Korah, Dathan, and Abiram were leaders of a rebellion against Moses and Aaron, challenging their God-given authority. This rebellion is detailed in <a href="/numbers/16.htm">Numbers 16</a>, where Korah, a Levite, sought priestly power, while Dathan and Abiram, from the tribe of Reuben, questioned Moses' leadership. Their actions reflect a broader theme of rebellion against God's appointed leaders, which is a recurring issue in Israel's history. The judgment against them serves as a warning against pride and disobedience. This event foreshadows the ultimate judgment against sin and rebellion, pointing to the need for a mediator, fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who intercedes on behalf of humanity.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/k/korah.htm">Korah</a></b><br>A Levite who led a rebellion against Moses and Aaron, challenging their leadership and the priesthood.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/d/dathan_and_abiram.htm">Dathan and Abiram</a></b><br>Reubenites who joined Korah in his rebellion, questioning Moses' leadership and authority.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, chosen by God to lead His people out of Egypt and through the wilderness.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_congregation.htm">The Congregation</a></b><br>The assembly of the Israelites who were witnesses to the rebellion and the subsequent judgment.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_tents_of_korah,_dathan,_and_abiram.htm">The Tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram</a></b><br>The physical locations associated with the rebels, symbolizing their defiance and impending judgment.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_danger_of_rebellion.htm">The Danger of Rebellion</a></b><br>Rebellion against God-appointed leadership is ultimately rebellion against God Himself.

The word, in the singular number, commonly denotes the tabernacle of the congregation--<span class= "ital">i.e., </span>the boarded erection which was covered by the <span class= "ital">ohel, </span>or tent. The word means simply a "dwelling-place," and it may denote in this and in the 27th verse a rival tabernacle which had been erected by Korah and the other conspirators; or it may denote, in a collective sense, the tent of Korah, which may have been contumaciously pitched near that of the Reubenites, and also the tents of Dathan and Abiram, which were in proximity to those of the Kohathites, but further removed from the Tabernacle. The substitution of the word "tents" in <a href="/numbers/16-26.htm" title="And he spoke to the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be consumed in all their sins.">Numbers 16:26</a>, in which Moses delivers to the people the command contained in <a href="/numbers/16-24.htm" title="Speak to the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.">Numbers 16:24</a>, seems to favour the latter of these explanations.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/numbers/16.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 24.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.</span> The word "tabernacle" (<span class="accented">mishcan</span>) is the same word which is so translated in verse 9, but not the same which is used in verses 18,19; it properly signifies "dwelling-place."
