Numbers 16 · Grade 3
Rebellion Against God's Choice
Read the Story
Korah was a Levite. He gathered Dathan, Abiram, and 250 leaders. They rose up against Moses and Aaron. They said, All the congregation are holy. Why do you lift yourselves up? Moses fell on his face.
Moses said that Yahweh would show who are His. Korah's men were already chosen to serve at the tabernacle. But they wanted the priesthood too. Moses said their complaint was really against Yahweh. God judged the rebels, and they perished.
The next day all the people grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and a plague began. Moses told Aaron to take incense and hurry. Aaron ran into the middle of the assembly and made atonement. He stood between the dead and the living, and the plague was stopped.
