God spoke to Moses to bid the congregation leave the tents of the men whom they had chosen in the place of Moses. The very men whose destruction they premeditated were the instruments in the hands of God of saving their lives upon that occasion. Said Moses: “Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah.” They also were in alarming danger of being destroyed in their sins by the wrath of God, for they were sharers in the crimes of the men to whom they had given their sympathy and with whom they had associated. {3T 354.1}

Gud talte til Moses og bød menigheden at forlade de mænds telte som de havde valgt i stedet for Moses. De mænd, hvis udslettelse de planlagde, var redskaber i Guds hænder, til at redde deres liv ved den anledning. Moses sagde: »Fjern eder fra pladsen omkring Koras, Datans og Abirams bolig!« De var også i foruroligende fare for at blive ødelagt i deres synder på grund af Guds vrede, for de tog del i de menneskers forbrydelser som de havde givet deres forståelse og havde været sammen med.
