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.

I pray you: The rebels, with all that belonged to them, were, as an accursed thing, devoted to utter destruction - Leviticus 27:28, Leviticus 27:29. Joshua 7:13-15, Joshua 7:23-26. The people therefore were forbidden to touch anything belonging to them; that they might enter a solemn protest against their wickedness, acknowledge the justice of their punishment, and express their fear of being involved in it.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he spake unto the congregation,.... To the people of Israel assembled together on this occasion: some, out of ill will to Moses and Aaron, inclining to the side of Korah and his accomplices, and some out of curiosity to see the issue of this affair
saying, depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men; these turbulent, seditious, and ill-designing men, disturbers of the commonwealth and church of Israel, enemies to the peace of its civil and ecclesiastic state: and when Moses desires the people to depart from their tents, he means not only that they would remove in person, and stand at a distance, but such who had their tents, and families, and substance near them, would take care to remove, lest they should be destroyed with them:
and touch nothing of theirs; not carry off anything belonging to them along with their own, being all devoted to destruction:
lest ye be consumed in all their sins; lest partaking of their sins they should of their plagues, and die in their sins, as they would, or for them.
