In Numbers 16:36-38 in the New Living Translation, the story of Korah’s rebellion against Moses and Aaron is recounted. Korah, along with his followers, Dathan and Abiram, challenged the authority of Moses and Aaron as leaders chosen by God. In response, Moses instructed the people to move away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, staying clear of their dwellings to avoid being caught in God’s judgment against them. As the people listened and obeyed, the ground suddenly split open beneath the rebels’ tents, swallowing them up along with their families and possessions. This dramatic event served as a powerful demonstration of God’s divine intervention and authority, confirming that Moses and Aaron were indeed chosen by Him to lead the Israelites. The story of Korah’s rebellion serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us of the consequences of challenging God’s appointed leaders and going against His will.
