Numbers 16:27 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 16:27

So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and
Abiram, on every side
The place where they met together and made their general rendezvous; this it seems was encompassed on all sides by people out of the several tribes, who either wished them well in their undertaking, or were curious to know how it would issue; and Dathan and Abiram came out;
out of the tabernacle of Korah, and went to their own tents; and came out of them, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons,
and their little children;
in an audacious manner, as not fearing God nor man; they carried their heads high, and were not in the least daunted at what they were threatened with; and by their looks and gestures bid defiance to Moses and the elders with him.
