16:19-26King
James Version (KJV)
19 And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the
Lord appeared unto all the congregation.
20 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
21 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may
consume them in a moment.
22 And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of
the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be
wroth with all the congregation?
23 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
24 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about
the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
25 And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the
elders of Israel followed him.
26 And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray
you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of
their's, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.
Numbers 16:19-26World English Bible (WEB)
19 Korah assembled all the congregation opposite them to the
door of the Tent of Meeting.
Yahweh’s glory appeared to all the congregation. 20 Yahweh
spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 21 “Separate yourselves
from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a
moment!”
22 They fell on their faces, and said, “God, the God of the
spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will you be angry
with all the congregation?”
23 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 24 “Speak to the
congregation, saying, ‘Get away from around the tent of Korah,
Dathan, and Abiram!’”
25 Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders
of Israel followed him. 26 He spoke to the congregation,
saying, “Depart, please, from the tents of these wicked men, and
touch nothing of theirs, lest you be consumed in all their
sins!”
These are my thoughts, please share yours.
19 Korah continues to cause trouble even after the Lord had
Moses tell them how He was going to do things they turn the
people in their favor, there are people who will try to lead us
to the paths God does not want us even though what they say may
seem good they are not good, if they are doing anything that is
not of the Lord’s will.
20 God was speaking to Moses, He did not spoke to Korah, Moses
was the one God chose, if God had decided Korah’s time had come,
He would have started to talk to Korah.
21 God was going to get rid of these people; He warned those who
were following Him, Moses and Aaron. God gives His people
warning but Korah was warned before, they were just rebels
against God. We as Christians are to separate from the world not
to be as the world and to move with God not of the world. There
has to be division a division between the righteous through
Christ and the sinful of the world. Moses was of God and Korah
was of the world.
22 Moses was suggesting that God just get rid of the leaders of
the rebellion and not all those who fell for their lies, those
that followed the crowd. This is one of the reasons Moses was a
good leader, he cared for those he lead, Korah only cared for
Korah and was going to lead these people to be destroyed.
23 Again the Lord speaks to Moses, not to Korah. God speaks to
those who are His, sometimes it is thru His word sometimes thru
those He has called and sometimes thru His Spirit on our hearts,
it is important to know if it is the Lord speaking or just
something we want, Korah wanted to be leader but even if he
thought the Lord put it on his heart, the Lord chose Moses and
the Word does go against the Lord but is of the Lord so they
have to be in agreement.
24 Moses was allowed by God to give warning to the people that
to leave because of the destruction coming, we see later with
the numbers that died many ignored the warning, they were by
refusing Moses were refusing what God wanted from them.
25 Some went away with Moses; they were spared because of Moses
caring for them and the Lord showing them mercy by giving them a
second chance to turn.
26 Moses warned the people, sins destroy, we all can fall a
victim to sin but Christ is are only hope, He men to warn us.
