Contextual Overview

¹² Then Moses sent for Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: and they said, We will not come up: ¹³ Is it not enough that you have taken us from a land flowing with milk and honey, to put us to death in the waste land, but now you are desiring to make yourself a chief over us? ¹⁴ And more than this, you have not taken us into a land flowing with milk and honey, or given us a heritage of fields and vine-gardens: will you put out the eyes of these men? We will not come up. ¹⁵ Then Moses was very angry, and said to the Lord, Give no attention to their offering: not one of their asses have I taken, or done wrong to any of them. ¹⁶ And Moses said to Korah, You and all your band are to come before the Lord tomorrow, you and they and Aaron: ¹⁷ And let every man take a vessel for burning perfumes, and put sweet spices in them; let every man take his vessel before the Lord, two hundred and fifty vessels; you and Aaron and everyone with his vessel. ¹⁸ So every man took his vessel and they put fire in them, with spices, and came to the door of the Tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron. ¹⁹ And Korah made all the people come together against them to the door of the Tent of meeting: and the glory of the Lord was seen by all the people. ²⁰ And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, ²¹ Come out from among this people, so that I may send sudden destruction on them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Separate yourselves, from among this congregation,.... Not only from Korah's company, but from the congregation of the children of Israel, whom Korah had got together, besides the two hundred fifty men that were at first with him; who by their words and behaviour, and particularly by their association and standing along with him, showed them to be on his side, which greatly provoked the Lord:

that I may consume them in a moment; by fire from him, as the two hundred fifty men were afterwards consumed, Numbers 16:35.
