Korah
Generation 2 from Adam
Biography
A Levite who led a rebellion against Moses and Aaron, challenging their leadership and the priestly authority God had established. Along with Dathan, Abiram, and 250 leaders of Israel, Korah claimed that all the congregation was holy and questioned why Moses and Aaron exalted themselves. God vindicated His chosen leaders by causing the earth to open and swallow Korah and his followers, and fire consumed the 250 who offered incense.
Korah's rebellion demonstrates the serious consequences of challenging God's appointed authority and the priesthood He established, serving as a warning against presumption and envy.
