This occurs during Korah's rebellion, when a group of Israelites challenged Moses and Aaron's God-given leadership in the wilderness. The tabernacle of the congregation was the portable sanctuary where God's presence dwelled among the Israelites during their 40-year journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. Moses and Aaron are seeking God's guidance in response to this serious challenge to their authority.
