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;

Numbers 16:8 In-Context

6 Korah, you and all your followers are to do this: take firepans, and tomorrow

7 place fire in them and put incense on them before the Lord. Then the man the Lord chooses will be the one who is set apart. It is you Levites who have gone too far!"

8 Moses also told Korah, "Now listen, Levites!

9 Isn't it enough for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the Israelite community to bring you near to Himself, to perform the work at the Lord's tabernacle, and to stand before the community to minister to them?

10 He has brought you near, and all your fellow Levites who are with you, but you are seeking the priesthood as well.
