Numbers 16:24

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

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 ²  in the entrances of their tents with their wives, their children, and their toddlers.

[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.

[16:27]  ² 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.
