ויאמר משה אל קרח. וכבר אמר כן רק הטעם כאשר אמר משה לקרח היו לפני ה' לקחו איש מחתתו: AND MOSES SAID UNTO KORAH. Moses had already said so.52In verses 6 and 7, Moses had already told them to take censers. Thus this means: when Moses said to Korah be before God, they took their fire-pan.
מחר. והוא היום שקרא משה לדתן ואבירם ויתכן שקראם קודם והוא הנכון בעבור מלת בקר: TOMORROW. This occurred on the day that Moses called to Dathan and Abiram.53See verse 12. It is possible that he called them earlier. The latter appears correct because Scripture reads, in the morning (v. 5).54Verse 5 tells us that Korah and his men were to bring the fire-pans as soon as morning came. This being the case, there would be very little time for Dathan and Abiram to be called.
