Contextual Overview

23 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 24 Speak to the congregation, saying, You get away from around the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. 25 And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel went after him. 26 And he spoke to the congregation, saying, Please turn away from the tents of these wicked men, and do not touch anything that they have, lest you be consumed in all their sins. 27 And they got away from around the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram; and Dathan and Abiram came out, standing at the door of their tents, and their wives, their sons, and their infants. 28 And Moses said, By this you shall know that Jehovah has sent me to do all these works, and that not from my own heart. 29 If these die according to the death of all men, and are visited according to the visitation of all men, then Jehovah has not sent me. 30 And if Jehovah makes a new thing, and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them, and all that they have, and they go down alive to Sheol, then you shall know that these men have despised Jehovah. 31 And it happened, as he made an end of speaking all these words, the ground which was under them split apart, 32 and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them, and their houses, and all the men who were for Korah, and all their possessions.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Moses rose up,.... Either from the ground, upon which he fell on his face, or from the seat on which he sat at the door of the tabernacle; though he seems to have stood there; it may be, it only signifies that he obeyed the divine order, and went about it directly, as often in Scripture persons are said to arise, when they go about any thing they are directed, or choose to do:

and went unto Dathan and Abiram; to endeavour to convince them of their evil, and bring them to repentance for it, and to reclaim them from their folly:

and the elders of Israel followed him; either some principal persons of the tribes, called elders, both from their age and prudence; or the seventy elders lately chosen to assist Moses in the affairs of government, as Aben Ezra thinks these followed him to show their respect unto him, and their approbation of his conduct, and for vindication of his character, which had been aspersed by those men, and to give the more weight to what should be said unto them, for their conviction and reformation.
