Study 11 From The Book of Numbers
is: Numbers 16:1-35
1.
There is evidence here of a
double revolt: one by Korah (a Levite) ‘and all his company’ against Moses and
Aaron; and one by Dathan and Abiram (reubinites) against Moses. What was the
ground of complaint in each case? See 16:3 and 16:13, 14. To what extent was it justified? Cf. Heb.
5:4; 2 Cor. 10:18.
2.
What lay behind the revolts
which made them serious enough to warrant so drastic a punishment and warning
to the people? See especially verses 11, 19, 28, 30.
Note. Verse 1. That such men
should lead and open revolt against the authority of Moses and Aaron meant that
it was a very serious outbreak of discontent.
