To his face, openly and publicly, in a bold and audacious manner; with impudence, as the Targum of Jonathan:<\/p>\n with certain of the children of Israel<\/strong>; some out of the several tribes, but perhaps chiefly of the tribe of Reuben, as Jarchi:<\/p>\n two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly<\/strong>; or “congregation” i, who were princes in the several tribes to which they belonged, heads of houses and families of their fathers, rulers of thousands, hundreds, c.<\/p>\n famous in the congregation<\/strong> or “called” k to the tabernacle of the congregation; who, when the great men among the people were gathered together to consult about any affair, were called, as Ben Melech observes:<\/p>\n men of renown<\/strong>, or “of name” l; in high esteem among the people for their birth and rank, their wealth and riches, wisdom and prudence; and were so before they came out of Egypt, as Aben Ezra remarks; so that the persons concerned in this rebellion were not the mob and dregs of the people, but men of the greatest figure and fame, and therefore was likely to be of bad consequence.<\/p>\n i “congregationis”, Pagninus. k “vocati”, Montanus, Drusius. l “viri nominis”, Montanus, Drusius.<\/p>\n (2) And they rose up . . . <\/strong>i.e., <\/em>in rebellion.<\/p>\n Two hundred and fifty princes . . . <\/strong>It has been inferred from Num. 27:3<\/span>, where it is stated that Zelophehad, the Manassite, did not take part in the rebellion, that these princes, or chief men of the congregation, belonged to the other tribes of Israel as well as that of Levi. They are called Korahs company because he was their leader, and it is probable from Num. 16:8<\/span> that a large number of them belonged to the tribe of Levi.<\/p>\n 2<\/strong>. <\/strong> Two hundred and fifty princes <\/strong> The formidable nature of this revolt may be inferred from the great number of princes implicated therein. These must have had adherents enough among the common people to have constituted a majority. If these leaders had not been summarily overthrown the whole camp would have been swept into this wicked revolution.<\/p>\n Before Moses <\/strong> They organized a meeting before his eyes. <\/p>\n Princes <\/strong> Heads of the tribes, or of large divisions. <\/p>\n Famous <\/strong> Men of name. <\/em> See chap.

Great men are the looking glasses of the country, according to which most men dress themselves: their sins do as seldom go unattended as their persons: height of place ever adds two wings to sin, example and scandal, whereby it soars higher, and flies much further.<\/p>\n children = sons. <\/p>\n assembly = appointed assembly. <\/p>\n congregation = assembly.
