19<\/strong>. Korah assembled all the congregation<\/em> ] He was upholding the claims of the whole of Israel against the Levites, so he brought them to witness the test.<\/p>\n against them<\/em> ] This perhaps implies that all Israel as a whole favoured Korah; and this would explain God’s words in Num 16:21<\/em><\/span>.<\/p>\n Korah gathered the congregation, <\/B>that they might be witnesses of the event, and, upon their success, which they doubted not of, might fall upon Moses and Aaron with popular rage, and destroy them. And it seems by this that the people were generally incensed against Moses, and inclined to Korahs side. <\/P> The glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud, <\/B>which then shone with greater brightness and majesty, as a token of Gods approach and presence. See Exo 16:7<\/span>,10<\/span>; Le 9:6<\/span>,23<\/span>; Num 20:6<\/span>. <\/P> <\/p>\n And Korah gathered all the congregation against them<\/strong>,…. Not his own company only, but as many of the whole congregation of Israel as he could get together, and especially the principal men; so that it seems there was a, general prevailing inclination in the people to take part with him against Moses and Aaron, who wished him success in his undertaking, and readily came together to animate and encourage him in it, and to see the issue of it. Jarchi suggests, that all night he was going to the several tribes, persuading them that it was not for his own private interest, but for the public good, that he acted against two men, who had taken to themselves, the one the kingdom, and the other the priesthood, and by this means got a great multitude together:<\/p>\n unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation<\/strong>; that is, before it, where Korah and his company stood, whose part they took, and had like to have suffered severely for it, had it not been for the interposition of Moses and Aaron:<\/p>\n and the glory of the Lord appeared unto all the congregation<\/strong>; the Shechinah, or divine Majesty, which dwelt between the cherubim in the most holy place, removed and came to the door of the tabernacle, where the people were assembled, in the sight of them, showing some visible token of his presence, though no similitude of himself was seen; or, however, he appeared in the cloud that was over the tabernacle, in which was seen a glory, a brightness and splendour, or such coruscations and flashes of lightning as were very unusual and amazing, and plainly showed the Lord was there; so Jarchi says, that he came in the pillar of cloud.<\/p>\n Verses 19-22:<\/strong><\/p>\n The extent of Korah’s rebellion was far-reaching. He was able to bring “all the congregation” against Moses and Aaron, in witness to the trial which Moses had proposed.<\/p>\n God’s glory shined forth from the Tabernacle, and He spoke to Moses and Aaron, warning them to stand away from the people that He might destroy them all. Moses and Aaron immediately fell on their faces in intercessory prayer for Israel. They pleaded God’s justice, that He would not destroy all the people for the sins of one man.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n (19) All the congregation.<\/strong>It is evident from these words that there was a general disposition on the part of the people to favour the insurrection of Korah against Moses and Aaron.<\/p>\n 19<\/strong>. <\/strong> Korah gathered all the congregation <\/strong> This is one of Colenso’s difficulties, the massing of more than a million of people before the narrow front of the tabernacle. See Num 1:18<\/span>; Num 14:2<\/span>; Num 14:7<\/span>, notes. The insurrection evidently had a wide popular sympathy. It had infected the majority of Israel. The Seventy translate thus: “And Korah gathered all his <\/em> congregation,” that is, his partisans. <\/p>\n The glory of the Lord <\/strong> A supernatural resplendence flashed forth from the pillar of cloud premonitory of a stroke of judgment. See Num 14:10<\/span>; Num 20:6<\/span>, notes.<\/p>\n Num 16:19<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>And Korah gathered all the congregation<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> The rebellious spirit of Korah and his company had infected the whole body of Israel, always prone to murmur, and inclined to throw off the authority of Moses and Aaron. The Lord threatens to destroy them all, Num 16:21<\/span> but Moses and Aaron intercede for them; Num 16:22<\/span> and not only so, but they exhort such as feared the Lord to separate themselves from these wicked men, <\/em>Num 16:26<\/span> which accordingly they did, and so saved themselves from the destruction which overwhelmed Korah and the rest, Num 16:33-34<\/span>. <\/p>\n What an awful moment was it when the Shechinah, the glory of the LORD appeared! GOD was come to judgment. But what an awful moment of the like nature will it be when the LORD JESUS shall be revealed in flaming fire, to take vengeance on them that know not GOD and obey not the gospel of JESUS? In the contemplation of this day, how trifling and unimportant do all earthly concerns appear? Paul’s advice to the church under persecution on this subject is very interesting. 2Th 1:7-10<\/span> .<\/p>\n Num 16:19 And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation.<\/p>\n Ver. 19.
