Exegesis
The proper name Qōraḥ {קֹרַח | Qōraḥ} and the coordinated phrase wə-kōl ‘ădātô {וְכָל־עֲדָתֽוֹ | wə-ḵōl ‘ădātô} ‘and all his assembly’ identify the participants bound to perform the action. The vav in wə-kōl links the noun phrase to the earlier command, creating a compound imperative that unifies Korah and his followers in a communal liturgical act. In English, we reflected the fronted demonstrative with “Do this:” and preserved the sequence and recipients to maintain the original emphasis and urgency.
