Starting point is 00:01:03 who had been appointed members of the council they came as a group to oppose Moses and Aaron and said to them you have gone too far the whole community is holy every one of them
Starting point is 00:01:18 and the Lord is with them why then do you set yourselves above the Lord assembly. When Moses heard this, he fell face down. Then he said to Cora and all his followers. In the morning, the Lord will show who belongs to him and who is holy. And he will have that person come near him. The man who chooses he will cause to come near him. You, Cora, and all your followers are to do this. Take censors. And tomorrow, put fire and incense in them before the Lord.
Starting point is 00:02:02 The man the Lord chooses will be the one who is holy. You Levites have gone too far. Moses also said to Cora, now listen, you Levites, isn't it enough for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the rest of the Israelite community and brought you near himself to do the work at the Lord's? tabernacle and to stand before the community and minister to them he has brought you and all your fellow levites
Starting point is 00:02:34 have has brought you near himself but now you are trying to get the priesthood too is against the lord that you and all your followers have banded together who is erin that you should grumble against him that then most just summoned the thon and abiram the son of liub iliub but they said we will not come isn't it enough that you have brought us up out of the land of a land flowing with milk and honey to kill us in the desert and now you also want to lord it over us moreover you haven't brought us into a land flowing with milk and and honey, or giving us an inheritance of fields and vineyards, will you gauge out the eyes of these men? Now we will not come. Then Moses became very angry and said to the Lord, do not accept their offering,
Starting point is 00:03:46 have not taken so much as a donkey from them, nor have I wronged any of them. Moses said to You and all your followers are to appear before the Lord tomorrow. You and they and Aaron. Each man is to take his censor and put incensing in it. 250 sensors and all and present it before the Lord. You and Aaron are to present your sensors also. So each man took his sensor, put fire and incense in it, and stood with Moses and Aaron at the entrance.
Starting point is 00:04:24 the gentle meeting. The glory of the Lord appeared to the entire assembly. The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, separate yourself from the assembly so I can put an end to them at once.
Starting point is 00:04:40 But Moses and Aaron fell face down and cried out. Oh God, God of the spirits of all mankind, will you be angry with the entire assembly when only one man's sins? Then the Lord said, Moses, say to the assembly, move away from the tents of Cora, Dathan, and Aburam.
Starting point is 00:05:01 Moses got up and went to Dathan and Aburam, and the elders of Israel followed him. He warned the assembly, moved back from the tents of these wicked men. Do not touch anything belonging to them, where you will be swept away because of all their sins. So they moved away from the tents of Cora, Dathan, and Aburam. The thon and Abram had come out and were standing with their wives, children, and little ones at the entrances to their tents. Then Moses said, This is how you will know that the Lord has sent me to do all these things, that it was not my idea. If these men die a natural death and experience only what usually happens to the men, then the Lord has not sent me.
Starting point is 00:05:53 But if the Lord brings about something totally new and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them with everything that belongs to them, and they go down alive into the grave, then you will know that these men have treated the Lord with content. As soon as he finished saying all this, the ground under them split apart and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them with their households. all the all cores men and all their possessions they went down alive into the grave with everything they owned the earth closed over them and they perished and they were gone from the community at their cries all the isurites around them fled shouting the earth is going to swallow us too and fire came out from the Lord and consumed the 250 men who were
Starting point is 00:06:53 offering the incense. The Lord said Moses, tell Elazar, son of Aaron, the priest, to take the censors out of the smoldering remains and scatter the coals some distance away for the
Starting point is 00:07:09 censors are holy. The sensors of the men who sinned at the cost of their lives hammer the censors into sheep. to overlay the altar, for they were presented before the warden had become holy. Let them be assigned to the Israelites. So Alazar, the priest, collected the bronze censors brought by those who had been burned up,
Starting point is 00:07:38 and he had them hammered out to overlay the altar as the Lord directed him through Moses. This way, this was to remind the Israelites. that no one except the descendant of Aaron should come to burn incense before the Lord, or he would become like horror in his followers.
Starting point is 00:08:04 The next day the whole Israelite community grumbled against Moses and Aaron. Yavs killed the Lord's people, they say. But when the assembly gathered in opposition to Moses and Aaron and turned toward the tent of me, suddenly the cloud covered it
Starting point is 00:08:21 and the glory of the Lord appeared that Moses and Aaron went to the front of the tent of me and the Lord said to Moses get away from this assembly so I can put an end to them at once
Starting point is 00:08:36 and they fell face down then Moses said to Aaron take your sensor and put incense in it along with the fire from the altar and hurried to the assembly to make a tell me for them. Rath has come out from the Lord.
Starting point is 00:08:54 The plague had started. So Aaron did, as Moses said, I ran into the mist of the assembly. The plague had already started among the people, but Aaron offered the incense and made it tell me for them. He stood between the living and the dead, and the plague stopped. But 14,700 people died from,
Starting point is 00:09:18 from the plague in addition to those who had died because of Cora. Then Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance to attend a meeting before the plague had stopped. So that's where we're going to stop. We'll pick back up at the budding of Aaron's staff, 17. Life in Bible Times. Castles and clothing. The Israelites sewed blue cords or long fringes
Starting point is 00:09:48 containing a blue cord on the corners of their clothing. These tassos were a reminder all day long that the Israelites were to remember God's commandments and obey them. The tassos also marked their wearer as an Israelite. Tasos were still a common part of clothing in the New Testament Times. Life in Bible Times, censors. Israel's priests burned sweet-smelling incense and censors that looked like small shovels or scoops
Starting point is 00:10:27 incense was burned with fire from the altar of sacrifice. The sensors used in the tabernacle were made of bronze while those used in the temple built by Solomon were made of pure gold. Actually, let's finish 17. The button of Aaron's staff, 17. The Word says Moses, speak to the Israelites and get 12 staffs from them. One from the leader of each of their ancestral tribes. Write the name of each man on the staff. On the staff of Levi write Aaron's name, for there must be one staff for the head of each ancestral tribe.
Starting point is 00:11:12 Place them in the tent of meeting in the front of the testimony, where I meet with you, the staff belonging to the man I chose will sprout, and I will rid myself of this constant grumbling against you by the Israelites. So Moses spoke to the Israelites and their leaders, gave him 12 staffs, one from the leader of each of their ancestral tribes, and Aaron's staff was among them. Moses placed the staffs before the Lord in the tent of the testimony. Now he sprouted, but had budded, blossomed, and produced almonds. Then Moses brought out all the staffs from the Lord's presence to all the Israelites. They looked at him and each man took his own staff. The Lord said Moses put back Aaron's staff in the front of the testimony to be kept as a sign to the rebellious.
Starting point is 00:12:15 This will put an end to their grumbling against me So that they will not die Moses did just as the Lord commanded him There's what I said Moses We will die We are lost We are all lost Anyone who even comes near
Starting point is 00:12:33 The tabernacle of the Lord will die Are we all going to die And that's where we're going to stop We'll take back up that duties of priest and Levites 18 Remember to look back after reflection of yourself in the mirror.
