The place where they met together and made their general rendezvous; this it seems was encompassed on all sides by people out of the several tribes, who either wished them well in their undertaking, or were curious to know how it would issue;<\/p>\n and Dathan and Abiram came out<\/strong>; out of the tabernacle of Korah, and went to their own tents; and came out of them,<\/p>\n and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons<\/strong>,<\/p>\n and their little children<\/strong>; in an audacious manner, as not fearing God nor man; they carried their heads high, and were not in the least daunted at what they were threatened with; and by their looks and gestures bid defiance to Moses and the elders with him.<\/p>\n The congregation obeyed; but Dathan and Abiram came and placed themselves in front of the tents, along with their wives and children, to see what Moses would do. Moses then announced the sentence: “ By this shall he know that Jehovah hath sent me to do all these works, that not out of my own heart<\/em> (i.e., that I do not act of my own accord). If these men die like all men <\/em> (i.e., if these wicked men die a natural death like other men), and the oversight of all men take place over them<\/em> (i.e., if the same providence watches over them as over all other men, and preserves them from sudden death), Jehovah hath not sent me. But if Jehovah create a creation<\/em> ( , i.e., work an extraordinary miracle), and the earth open its mouth and swallow them up, with all that belongs to them, so that they go down alive into hell, ye shall perceive that these men have despised Jehovah<\/em>.”<\/p>\n (27) And Dathan and Abiram came out . . . <\/strong>No <\/strong>mention is made of the position of Korah at this time, neither is any mention made of his sons, who, as we learn from Num. 26:11<\/span>, died not when the company of Korah died. His descendants are mentioned in 1Ch. 6:22-38<\/span>, and mention is made of the sons of Korah in the titles of eleven of the Psalms. Samuel the prophet and Heman the singer were of this family (1Ch. 6:22<\/span>; 1Ch. 6:33<\/span>).<\/p>\n 27<\/strong>. <\/strong> Stood in the door of their tents <\/strong> Their attitude was not that of penitence, but of curiosity or defiance. Earnest prayer might have saved them even then, but men abandoned by the grieved Spirit of God cannot pray. <\/p>\n Their little children <\/strong> To these this sudden and awful death was not a punishment but a calamity. See Jos 7:24<\/span>, note. Little children are still perishing through the folly, brutality, and neglect of their parents. There is no mention here of the children of Korah, some of whom, if not all, escaped, (Num 26:11<\/span>,) probably because they did not consent to their father’s crime.<\/p>\n Num 16:27<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>So they gat up from the tabernacle<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> Those who were not actually engaged in the rebellion of these men obeyed the divine admonition, and retreated; while the rest, with a degree of audacious infidelity that is scarcely to be parallelled, boldly came forth with their families, and thus declared their absolute defiance of all that Moses could do against them. <\/p>\n Observe how sin hardens; one should have thought that the rebellious party when deserted by the people, would have taken alarm and humbled themselves before the LORD. I say one should have thought so, if the word of GOD did not teach us, that evil men and seducers wax worse and worse. 2Ti 3:13<\/span> .<\/p>\n Num 16:27 So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children.<\/p>\n Ver. 27.
