What does the Bible say about the rebellion of Korah?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible describes Korah's rebellion as an uprising against God's appointed leaders, challenging their authority and the divine order established by God.
The rebellion of Korah is documented in Numbers 16, where Korah, along with Dathan and Abiram and 250 others, rose up against Moses and Aaron. They accused Moses of lifting himself above the congregation, declaring that everyone was holy and questioned Moses' unique position as the transmitter of God's word. This act was not merely a power struggle; it was a profound challenge to God's established order and authority. The rebellion illustrates the dangers of presumption and the serious consequences of defying God's will, as seen when the ground swallowed the leaders of the rebellion in response to their challenge of divine authority.
