This verse describes the moment when the Israelites backed away from the rebellious leaders' tents, while Dathan and Abiram defiantly stood with their families at their tent doors, just before God's judgment fell.
📚 Historical Context
This occurs during the wilderness wanderings when Korah, Dathan, and Abiram led a rebellion against Moses' authority, claiming he had too much power. Moses had just warned the people to separate themselves from these rebels because God was about to demonstrate His judgment. The tabernacle mentioned here refers to the dwelling places or tents of the rebels, not the sacred Tabernacle of God.
