SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:24
Habla a la congregación, diciendo: Apartaos de en derredor de la tienda de Coré, Datán, y Abiram.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 24. Speak unto the congregation , etc.] Not to Korah’s company, but to the people of Israel, of the several tribes that were assembled together: saying, get ye up from about the tabernacle of Korah, and Dathan, and Abiram ; which was either the same with their tents, as in ( Numbers 16:26); though, as they were of different tribes, Korah of the tribe of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram of the tribe of Reuben, their tents must be in distinct and different places, though both encamped on the same side of the tabernacle, and pretty near to each other; the camp of Levi was nearest the tabernacle, and the camp of Reuben next to it. It may be, there was a single tabernacle erected on this occasion, for all these men to meet at when they judged it necessary. Aben Ezra is of opinion, Korah had a tent for his men and substance, at a distance from the camp of the Levites, and to his tent joined the tents of Dathan and Abiram.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 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. An 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 ow safety. Grace to separate from evil-doers is one of the things tha accompany salvation. God, in justice, left the rebels to the obstinac and hardness of their own hearts. Moses, by Divine direction, when all Israel were waiting the event, declares that if the rebels die a commo death, he will be content to be called and counted an imposter. As soo as Moses had spoken the word, God caused the earth to open and swallo them all up. The children perished with their parents; in which, thoug we cannot tell how bad they might be to deserve it, or how good God might be otherwise to them; yet of this we are sure, that Infinit Justice did them no wrong. It was altogether miraculous. God has, when he pleases, strange punishments for the workers of iniquity. It wa very significant. Considering how the earth is still in like manne loaded with the weight of man's sins, we have reason to wonder that is does not now sink under its load. The ruin of others should be ou warning. Could we, by faith, hear the outcries of those that are gon down to the bottomless pit, we should give more diligence than we do to escape for our lives, lest we also come into their condemnation.
