40<\/strong>. which is not of the seed of Aaron<\/em> ] i.e. a priest, and not a Levite as Korah was (see note before Num 16:37<\/em><\/span>).<\/p>\n As Korah, and as his company, <\/B>i.e. that he do not imitate them in their sin, and therefore bring upon himself the same plague. <\/P> To him, <\/B>i.e. to Eleazar. These words belong to Num 16:38<\/span>; the meaning is, that Eleazar did as God bade him. <\/P> <\/p>\n [To be] a memorial unto the children of Israel<\/strong>,…. The whole body of them; this explains what is meant by sign, Nu 16:38<\/span>; that it was to put or keep in mind what follows:<\/p>\n that no stranger which [is] not of the seed of Aaron come near to offer incense before the Lord<\/strong>; not only any Gentile but any Israelite, and not any Israelite only, but any Levite; none but those of the family of Aaron might offer incense before the Lord;<\/p>\n that he be not as Korah and as his company<\/strong>; this makes it clear that Korah perished at this time, though it is nowhere expressed; and it seems pretty plain from hence that he perished by fire, as his company, the two hundred fifty men with censers, did:<\/p>\n as the Lord said unto him by the hand of Moses<\/strong>; either to Korah, who is the immediate antecedent, and who perished as the Lord had told him by Moses he should; so some understand it, mentioned by Aben Ezra and Jarchi; or else to Aaron, as they interpret it; and then the sense is, that none but those of Aaron’s seed should offer incense, as the Lord had declared to him by Moses; see Nu 3:10<\/span>; or it may be rather to Eleazar, as Abendana, who did as the Lord spake to him by Moses, took up the censers of the men that were burnt, and got them beaten into broad plates, and covered the altar of burnt offering with them.<\/p>\n 40. To be a memorial unto the children of Israel. This passage again confirms what I have just said, that God’s judgments, which ought to remain in full remembrance in every age, straightway escape, and are blotted out front men’s minds, unless they are provided with certain aids to meditate upon them. This, however, does not happen so much from ignorance as neglect. Wherefore we ought to be the more attentive to the aids to memory, which may retain us in the path of duty. <\/p>\n (40) To be a memorial unto the children of Israel.<\/strong>The Apostle Jude warns Christians by the same example against the profanation of Divine ordinances (Num. 16:11<\/span>).<\/p>\n 40<\/strong>. <\/strong> A memorial<\/strong>, or warning against grasping after priestly prerogatives. It is the purpose of God to turn every man’s life to the best account. When, through a perverse use of his free agency, God cannot secure the wicked man’s well-being, he makes his punishment an instrument of good to others by deterring them from sin. Thus the humane society hangs a bell to the mast of the sunken ship for the admonition of other ships sailing through that perilous channel. Hence the purpose subserved by eternal punishment. “But those who have committed the most extreme injustice, and have become incurable through such crimes, serve as examples to others, and these are not benefited at all, as being incurable, but others are benefited by beholding them suffering forever the greatest punishments for their sins,being suspended in the prison of hades altogether as examples, a spectacle and warning to the unjust men who are continually arriving.” Plato in the Gorgias.<\/p>\n Num 16:40<\/span> [To be] a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which [is] not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses.<\/p>\n Ver. 40. To be a memorial.<\/strong> ] God cannot abide to be forgotten; and they are worthily made<\/em> examples that will not take them; as that second captain in 2Ki 1:11-12<\/p>\n memorial. Compare Ch. Num 17:10, 1Co 10:11, and see Structure, p 203. Hence history rehearsed in Deu 11:6-8. Note the two memorials added to the tabernacle through Korah’s rebellion (see the Structure, p. 203), the plates (36-40) and Aaron’s rod (Num 17:1-13). <\/p>\n offer = burn. Hebrew. katar.
