Numbers 16:24-25

16:24 “Tell the community: ‘Get away ¹  from around the homes of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.’” 16:25 Then Moses got up ²  and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel went after him.

Numbers 16:27

16:27 So they got away from the homes of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram on every side, and Dathan and Abiram came out and stationed themselves ³  in the entrances of their tents with their wives, their children, and their toddlers.

Numbers 26:9

26:9 Eliab’s descendants were Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. It was Dathan and Abiram who as leaders of the community rebelled against Moses and Aaron with the followers ⁴  of Korah when they rebelled against the Lord.

[16:24]  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.

[16:25]  ² tn Heb “rose up.”

[16:27]  ³ tn The verb נִצָּבִים (nitsavim) suggests a defiant stance, for the word is often used in the sense of taking a stand for or against something. It can also be somewhat neutral, having the sense of positioning oneself for a purpose.

[26:9]  ⁴ tn Or “company” (so KJV, NASB, NRSV); Heb “congregation.”
