Bemidbar 16 – Summary

Rebellion and Punishment – In Chapter 16, Moshe and Aharon are faced with a two-pronged rebellion led by Korach, Datan and Aviram, and 250 men of rank. Moshe suggests that Aharon, Korach, and the 250 men all offer incense to determine whom is Hashem's chosen one. The subsequent consumption by fire of the 250 men and the earth's swallowing of Datan and Aviram provide Divine confirmation of Moshe and Aharon's selection as leaders and priest.
