Numbers 16:24

16:24 “Tell the community: ‘Get away ¹  from around the homes of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.’”

Numbers 20:21

20:21 So Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border; therefore Israel turned away from him.

Numbers 24:22

24:22 Nevertheless the Kenite will be consumed. ² 

How long will Asshur take you away captive?”

¹ tn The motif of “going up” is still present; here the Hebrew text says “go up” (the Niphal imperative – “go up yourselves”) from their tents, meaning, move away from them.

² tc Heb “Nevertheless Cain will be wasted; how long will Asshur take you captive?” Cain was believed to be the ancestor of the Kenites. The NAB has “yet destined for burning, even as I watch, are your inhabitants.” Asshur may refer to a north Arabian group of people of Abrahamic stock (Gen 25:3), and not the Assyrian empire.
