Contextual Overview

¹² Then Moses sent for Dathan and Abiram, but they sent back this message: "We won't come! ¹³ It's bad enough that you took us from our rich farmland in Egypt to let us die here in the desert. Now you also want to boss us around! ¹⁴ You keep promising us rich farmlands with fertile fields and vineyards—but where are they? Stop trying to trick these people. No, we won't come to see you." ¹⁵ Moses was very angry and said to the Lord , "Don't listen to these men! I haven't done anything wrong to them. I haven't taken as much as a donkey." ¹⁶ Then he said to Korah, "Tomorrow you and your followers must go with Aaron to the Lord 's sacred tent. ¹⁷ Each of you take along your fire pan with incense in it and offer the incense to the Lord ." ¹⁸ The next day the men placed incense and coals in their fire pans and stood with Moses and Aaron at the entrance to the sacred tent. ¹⁹ Meanwhile, Korah had convinced the rest of the Israelites to rebel against their two leaders. When that happened, the Lord appeared in all his glory ²⁰ and said to Moses and Aaron, ²¹ "Get away from the rest of the Israelites so I can kill them right now!"

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.
