About Numbers 16: Korah's Rebellion
Korah, Dathan and Abiram rebel against Moses and Aaron, but God destroys them and their followers.
Commentary
In Numbers 16, we see the story of Korah and his rebellion against Moses and Aaron. Korah, a Levite, and his followers challenge Moses and Aaron's authority, claiming that they are no different than any other Israelite and should be allowed to lead the people. In response, God sends a plague to punish the rebels, and the earth opens up and swallows them.
