Context of Numbers 16:26

24“Say to the assembly, ‘Move away from the tents of Korah, Dathan and Abiram.’ ” 25Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him. He warned the assembly, “Move back from the tents of these wicked men! Do not touch anything belonging to them, or you will be swept away because of all their sins.” 27So they moved away from the tents of Korah, Dathan and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram had come out and were standing with their wives, children and little ones at the entrances to their tents. 28Then Moses said, “This is how you will know that the Lord has sent me to do all these things and that it was not my idea:

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. And those who would not perish with sinners, must come out from among them, and be separate. It was in answer to the prayer of Moses, that God stirred up the hearts of the congregation to remove for their own safety. Grace to separate from evil-doers is one of the things that accompany salvation. God, in…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 26Do not touch anything that belongs to them: These men and their belongings were now "set apart for destruction" (see Leviticus 27:28–29; compare Deuteronomy 7:26; 13:17; Joshua 6:18; 7:1–26).Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 24-2624-26. Speak unto the congregation, ... Get you up from about the tabernacle--Moses was attended in the execution of this mission by the elders.
