Numbers 16:24

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 ye up from about the tabernacle of Korah, and Dathan, and Abiram; which was either the same with their tents, as in Nu 16:26; though, as they were of different tribes, Korah of the tribe of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram of the tribe of Reuben, their tents must be in distinct and different places, though both encamped on the same side of the tabernacle, and pretty near to each 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.
