24:21 Then he looked on the Kenites and uttered this oracle:
“Your dwelling place seems strong,
and your nest 2 is set on a rocky cliff.
1 tn Heb “his congregation” or “his community.” The expression is unusual, but what it signifies is that Korah had set up a rival “Israel” with himself as leader.
2 sn A pun is made on the name Kenite by using the word “your nest” (קִנֶּךָ, qinnekha); the location may be the rocky cliffs overlooking Petra.
