Numbers 16:15 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 16:15

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.”

16 And Moses said to Korah, “Tomorrow, you and all your company be present ^abefore the Lord—you and they, as well as Aaron.

17 Let each take his censer and put incense in it, and each of you bring his censer before the Lord, two hundred and fifty censers; both you and Aaron, each with his censer.”

18 So every man took his censer, put fire in it, laid incense on it, and stood at the door of the tabernacle of meeting with Moses and Aaron.

19 And Korah gathered all the congregation against them at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. Then ^athe glory of the Lord appeared to all the congregation.

20 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

21 ^a“Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may ^bconsume them in a moment.”
