Context — The Warning to the Congregationgenerated

25So Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him.
26And he warned the congregation, “Move away now from the tents of these wicked men. Do not touch anything that belongs to them, or you will be swept away because of all their sins.”
27So they moved away from the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Meanwhile, Dathan and Abiram had come out and stood at the entrances to their tents with their wives and children and infants.
28Then Moses said, “This is how you will know that the LORD has sent me to do all these things, for it was not my own doing:

Numbers 16:26 recounts Moses' urgent warning to the Israelites to separate themselves from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, who were leading a rebellion against God's appointed leaders. This moment highlights the seriousness of sin and its consequences, as well as the need for the community to maintain holiness and distance from wrongdoing. The context emphasizes the importance of obedience to God's commands and the dangers of rebellion, as seen in other parts of the Torah.

The Key Word חַטֹּאתָם, cha.to.Tamgenerated

The word חַטָּאת (chatta'ah) refers to sin or wrongdoing, encompassing both the act of sinning and the consequences that follow. It is derived from a root meaning offense and is often associated with guilt, punishment, and the need for atonement.

In this verse, it signifies the collective sins of the wicked men, warning the congregation that touching anything belonging to them would lead to being swept away due to their transgressions.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb of the verse is וַיְדַבֵּ֨ר, and he spoke, which introduces a warning to the congregation. The structure includes an imperative phrase urging them to move away, followed by a caution against touching the possessions of the wicked men.

The sentence is structured to emphasize the urgency of Moses' warning, with the main command leading into the consequences of disobedience.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates וַיְדַבֵּ֨ר as ἐλάλησεν (elalēsen), which also means 'he spoke.' This choice aligns closely with the Hebrew meaning, maintaining the authority of Moses' warning.

The Greek rendering of חַטֹּאתָם as ἁμαρτίᾳ (hamartia) emphasizes the concept of sin, further underscoring the moral implications of the warning.

1. Terms Employed:

These two words rendered by "congregation" or "assembly" are used apparently without any difference of sense. They appear to include an assembly of the whole people or any section that might be present on a given occasion. Indeed, sometimes the idea appears to correspond closely to that conveyed by "horde," or even by "crowd." `Edhah is once used of bees (Jud 14:8). It has been sought to distinguish the two words by means of Le 4:13, "if the whole `edhah of Israel err, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the qahal." The qahal would then be the smaller body representing the whole `edhah, but the general usage is not favorable to this view (compare e.g. Ex 12:19, "cutting off…

Strangers resident in the land, if circumcised, were, with certain exceptions (Ex. 12:19; Num. 9:14; Deut. 23:1-3), admitted to the privileges of citizenship, and spoken of as members of the congregation (Ex. 12:19; Num. 9:14; 15:15). The congregation were summonded together by the sound of two silver trumpets, and they met at the door of the tabernacle (

This describes the Hebrew people in its collective capacity under its peculiar aspect as a holy community, held together by religious rather than political bonds. Sometimes it is used in a broad sense as inclusive of foreign settlers, (Exodus 12:19) but more properly as exclusively appropriate to the Hebrew element of the population. (Numbers 15:15) The congregation was governed by the father or head of each family and tribe. The number of these representatives being inconveniently large for ordinary business, a further selection was made by Moses of 70, who formed a species of standing committee. (Numbers 11:16) Occasionally indeed the whole body of people was assembled at the door of the tabernacle, hence usually called…

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
