Numbers 16:22 in context

The verses around it, from Numbers 16.

18 So each man took his censer, put fire and incense in it, and stood with Moses and Aaron at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

19 When Korah had gathered his whole assembly against them at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the glory of the LORD appeared to the whole congregation.

20 And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

21 “Separate yourselves from this congregation so that I may consume them in an instant.”

22 But Moses and Aaron fell facedown and said, “O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, when one man sins, will You be angry with the whole congregation?”

23 Then the LORD said to Moses,

24 “Tell the congregation to move away from the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”

25 So Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him.

26 And 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.”
