Ezra 7
"the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub," — Ezra 7:2 (ASV)
Speak unto the congregation
Not to Korah's company, but to the people of Israel, of the several tribes that were assembled together:
saying, get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, and Dathan, and
Abiram ;
which was either the same with their tents, as in (Numbers 16:26) ; though, as they were of differenttribes, Korah of the tribe of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram of the tribe of Reuben, their tents must be indistinct and different places, though both encamped on the same side of the tabernacle, and pretty near toeach other; the camp of Levi was nearest the tabernacle, and the camp of Reuben next to it.
It may be, there was a single tabernacle erected on this occasion, for all these men to meet at when they judged it necessary.Aben Ezra is of opinion, Korah had a tent for his men and substance, at a distance from the camp of theLevites, and to his tent joined the tents of Dathan and Abiram.
