Context of Numbers 16:26

24“Speak to the congregation, saying, ‘Get away from the areas around the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.’” 25Then Moses arose and went to Dathan and Abiram, with the elders of Israel following him, and he spoke to the congregation, saying, “Get away now from the tents of these wicked men, and do not touch anything that belongs to them, or you will be swept away in all their sin!” 27So they moved away from the areas around the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram; and Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the entrances of their tents, along with their wives, their sons, and their little ones. 28Then Moses said, “By this you shall know that the Lord has sent me to do all these deeds; for it is not my doing.

Commentaries on Numbers 16:26

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 23-34Verses 23-34 The seventy elders of Israel attend Moses. It is our duty to do what we can to countenance and support lawful authority when it is opposed.
