Numbers 16:8 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 16:8

And Moses said unto Korah
Continued his discourse to him, as the head of the conspiracy, and the ringleader of it:

hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi;
to whom also he had been before speaking; though Aben Ezra thinks the first speech was made to Korah and his company, and what follows to the Levites.

Numbers 16:8 In-Context

6 "Now, Korah, here's what I want you, you and your gang, to do: Tomorrow, take censers.
7 In the presence of God, put fire in them and then incense. Then we'll see who is holy, see whom God chooses. Sons of Levi, you've overstepped yourselves!"
8 Moses continued with Korah, "Listen well now, sons of Levi.
9 Isn't it enough for you that the God of Israel has selected you out of the congregation of Israel to bring you near him to serve in the ministries of The Dwelling of God, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them?
10 He has brought you and all your brother Levites into his inner circle, and now you're grasping for the priesthood too.
