Context of Numbers 16:26
24Speak to the congregation, saying, Withdraw yourselves from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. 25And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him. And he spoke to the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins. 27So they withdrew from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children. 28And Moses said, by this ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of my own mind.

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.

- 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.
