16 19<\/strong>. Korah and his company accept Moses’ challenge.<\/p>\n 16, 17<\/strong> are a repetition of Num 16:6-7<\/em><\/span>, and were probably inserted together with Num 16:8-11<\/em><\/span> ; Num 16:36-40<\/em><\/span><\/em>.<\/p>\n Not in the tabernacle, which was not capable of so many persoms severally offering incense, but at the door of the tabernacle, Num 16:18<\/span>, which place is oft said to be <\/P> before the Lord, <\/B>as Exo 29:42<\/span>; Lev 1:11<\/span>, &c.; where they might now lawfully offer it by Mosess direction upon this extraordinary occasion and necessity, because this work could not be done in that place, which alone was allowed for the offering up of incense, not only from its smallness, but also because none but priests might enter to do this work. Here also the people, who wcrc to be instructed by this experiment, might see the proof and success of it. <\/P> <\/p>\n 16-18. Moses said unto Korah, Bethou and all thy company before the Lord<\/B>that is, at “thedoor of the tabernacle” (Nu16:18<\/span>), that the assembled people might witness the experimentand be properly impressed by the issue.<\/P><\/p>\n And Moses said unto Korah<\/strong>,…. Who was still with him, when the messenger returned from Dathan and Abiram, and who heard what Moses said in his own defence;<\/p>\n be thou and all thy company before the Lord<\/strong>; at the tabernacle, at the door of it; the Targum of Jonathan is, at the house of judgment, the court of judicature, where this affair was to be tried, and that was at the tabernacle, as appears by what follows:<\/p>\n thou, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow<\/strong>; the day after Moses had sent to Dathan and Abiram, on the morning of the next day; which as it was the time of sitting in judgment, so of offering incense; meaning Korah and his company, the two hundred fifty men with him, and not Dathan and Abiram; and Aaron also, he was ordered to appear, whom they opposed, and with whom the trial was to be made.<\/p>\n In conclusion, he summoned Korah and his associates once more, to present themselves the following day before Jehovah with censers and incense.<\/p>\n 16. And Moses said unto Korah. The idea of Moses is not to make an experiment as if in a doubtful matter; but, being assured by the Spirit of prophecy what the event would be, he summons Korah before the tribunal of God, that he may receive the sentence of condemnation which he deserves. Nor does he inveigle him so as to destroy him unawares, but rather still endeavors to cure his madness, if it were possible to do so. For the sacred incense-offering was calculated to inspire him with alarm, lest, by rashly attempting more than was lawful, he should effect his own destruction, especially after so memorable an example had been made in the case of Nadab and Abihu. Moses, however, in reliance on God’s command, does not hesitate to engage in an open contest, in order that the judgment of God might be the more conspicuous. <\/p>\n 16<\/strong>. <\/strong> Before the Lord <\/strong> At the door of the tabernacle. See Lev 1:3<\/span>, and Num 16:18<\/span>. <\/p>\n Thou and Aaron <\/strong> As in Elijah’s controversy with the priests of Baal, the contestants stand side by side in the sight of all the people.<\/p>\n Moses Calls on Korah to Respond to His Challenge ( Num 16:16-17<\/strong><\/span><\/strong> ).<\/strong> <\/p>\n Num 16:16<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n ‘And Moses said to Korah, “Be you and all your company before Yahweh, you, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow.” ’ <\/p>\n Moses then turned his attention back to the Levite conspirators, and bade Korah with all his band of Levites to come to the Dwellingplace in the morning, into the courtyard ‘before Yahweh’. They were to be there along with Aaron so that a proper test of their acceptability with Yahweh could be determined. He would deal with the others later. <\/p>\n Num 16:17<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n “<\/strong> And take you every man his censer, and put incense on them, and bring you before Yahweh every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers. You also, and Aaron, each his censer.” <\/p>\n And they were to take every man his censer and put incense on them, and bring it before Yahweh, a censer for every man in his band (compare Num 16:6-7<\/span>). And Aaron would be there too with his censer. Even as we read the words a chill fills our hearts. We all know the folly of what they were about to do. We know even without reading on that there could be only one conclusion. They were rebelling against Yahweh’s strict instructions, and coming into His presence in doing it. It would be sin with a high hand. <\/p>\n It is really astonishing, considering the badness of their cause, that Korah and his party should have been willing to put things to such an issue. But, Reader! when our hearts are hardened through the deceitfulness of sin, what judgments of GOD do we not brave? How often hath my stubborn unsubdued nature gone about to establish my own righteousness, instead of seeking the righteousness of GOD my Saviour?<\/p>\n Num 16:16 And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:<\/p>\n Ver. 16. Thy company.<\/strong> ] Or, Thy congregation, thy faction, or Church malignant, as Psa 26:5 Act 19:32<\/span> ; Act 19:40<\/span> .<\/p>\n Be thou: Num 16:6, Num 16:7 <\/p>\n before: 1Sa 12:3, 1Sa 12:7, 2Ti 2:14 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Exo 16:9 – Come near Lev 10:1 – censer Num 12:4 – Come out 1Ch 6:49 – Aaron 1Ch 23:13 – to burn incense<\/p>\n Num 16:16. Be thou and thy company before the Lord Not in the tabernacle, which was not capable of containing so many persons severally offering incense, but at the door of the tabernacle, where they might offer it by Mosess direction upon this extraordinary occasion. Indeed, this work could not be done in that place, which alone was allowed for the offering up of incense; not only for its smallness, but also because none but priests might enter to do this work. Here also the people, who were to be instructed by this experiment, might see the proof and success of it.<\/p>\n 16:16 And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company {h} before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:<\/p>\n (h) At the door of the tabernacle.<\/p>\n And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow: 16 19. Korah and his company accept Moses’ challenge. 16, 17 are a repetition of Num 16:6-7, and were probably inserted together with Num 16:8-11 ; Num 16:36-40.
