Numbers 16:24

16:24 “Tell the community: ‘Get away ¹  from around the homes of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.’”

Numbers 16:34

16:34 All the Israelites ²  who were around them fled at their cry, ³  for they said, “What if ⁴  the earth swallows us too?”

Numbers 35:4

35:4 The grazing lands around the towns that you will give to the Levites must extend to a distance of 500 yards ⁵  from the town wall.

¹ tn The motif of “going up” is still present; here the Hebrew text says “go up” (the Niphal imperative – “go up yourselves”) from their tents, meaning, move away from them.

² tn Heb “all Israel.”

³ tn Heb “voice.”

⁴ tn Heb “lest.”

³ tn Heb “one thousand cubits.” The standard cubit in the OT is assumed by most authorities to be about eighteen inches (45 cm) in length, so this would be a distance of 1,500 feet or 500 yards (675 meters).
