Numbers 16:23-26 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Reader! may we not without violence to the sacred text, picture to ourselves in this conduct of Moses an infinitely greater than Moses, calling, in all the sweet and persuasive language of the gospel to his people: Come out my people from among the unclean, and be not partakers of their sins. Revelation 18:4. Reader! do not forget, that grace to keep the believer from sin and its consequences is among the blessings JESUS hath purchased, and the FATHER hath given in the covenant. Jeremiah 32:40 with John 17:11.

Numbers 16:23-26

23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

24 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.

25 And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.

26 And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.
