Nu 16:3
16:3 And they gathered themselves together against Moses and
against Aaron, and said unto them, {a} [Ye take] too much
upon you, seeing all the congregation [are] holy, {b} every
one of them, and the LORD [is] among them: wherefore then
lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?
(a) Or let it suffice you: meaning, to have abused them
this long.
(b) All are equally holy: therefore no one should be
preferred above other: thus the wicked reason against
God's ordinance.
Nu 16:5
16:5 And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying,
Even to morrow the LORD will shew who [are] his, and [who

unto him.
(c) To be the priest and to offer.
Nu 16:7
16:7 And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the
LORD to morrow: and it shall be [that] the man whom the
LORD doth choose, he [shall be] holy: {d} [ye take] too
much upon you, ye sons of Levi.
(d) He lays the same to their charge justly, with which
they wrongfully charged him.
Nu 16:10

Nu 16:13
16:13 [Is it] a small thing that thou hast brought us up {f} out
of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in
the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a
prince over us?
(f) Thus they spoke contemptuously, preferring Egypt to
Canaan.
Nu 16:14
16:14 Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth
with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and
vineyards: wilt thou {g} put out the eyes of these men? we
will not come up.
(g) Will you make those who searched the land believe that
they did not see that which they saw?
Nu 16:16

unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and
the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation.
(l) All that were of their faction.
Nu 16:26
16:26 And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray
you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing
of theirs, lest ye be consumed {k} in all their sins.

Nu 16:28
16:28 And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath
sent me to do all these works; for [I have] not [done

Nu 16:30
16:30 But if the LORD make {m} a new thing, and the earth open
her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that [appertain]
unto them, and they go down quick into {n} the pit; then
ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD.
(m) Or, show a strange sight.
(n) Or, deep and dark places of the earth.
Nu 16:38
16:38 The censers of these sinners {o} against their own souls,
let them make them broad plates [for] a covering of the
altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore
they are hallowed: and they shall be a {p} sign unto the
children of Israel.
(o) Who caused their own death.
(p) Of God's judgments against rebels.
Nu 16:40
16:40 [To be] a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no
stranger, which [is] not of the seed of Aaron, come near
to offer incense before the LORD; that he be not as {q}

hand of Moses.
(q) Who presumed above his calling.

plague is begun.

the altar of burnt offering, @Le 10:1.

Nu 16:48

plague was stayed.
