Compare all
11 Therefore you and all your company are gathered together against the Lord. aAnd what is Aaron that you complain against him?”  
12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, but they said, “We will not come up!
13 Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of aa land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, that you should bkeep acting like a prince over us?  
14 Moreover ayou have not brought us into ba land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you put out the eyes of these men? We will not come up!”  
15 Then Moses was very angry, and said to the Lord, a“Do not respect their offering. bI have not taken one donkey from them, nor have I hurt one of them.”

Numbers 16:12-14

Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram—in a separate interview, the ground of their mutiny being different; for while Korah murmured against the exclusive appropriation of the priesthood to Aaron and his family, they were opposed to the supremacy of Moses in civil power. They refused to obey the summons; and their refusal was grounded on the plausible pretext that their stay in the desert was prolonged for some secret and selfish purposes of the leader, who was conducting them like blind men wherever it suited him.
