MY DAILY LIFE TORAH COACH: Parasha of the Week n.39 Korah

Parasha of the Week n.39 Korah

Korah n.39

Korah and his followers rebel against Moses’ and Aaron’s leadership and are killed; G-d instructs Aaron regarding laws of the priesthood. Now, Korah, a Levite, along with two sons of Eliab, decided to rise up against Moses with the support of 250 community leaders. They plot against Moses and Aaron, saying “You’ve gone too far. Why do you raise yourself up above us?” When Moses heard this, he fell on his face, saying to Korah and his followers, “Come morning, G-d will make known who G-d is and who is holy.” Then Moses added, “You have gone too far, sons of Levi. Is it not enough that G-d has set you apart from the community of Israel by having you perform the duties of the Lord’s Dwelling Place? Will you seek priesthood too? Truly, you rebel against G-d.
