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 Korah, you and all your followers must do this tomorrow: Take incense burners,

7 and put burning coals and incense in them in the LORD's presence. Then the LORD will choose the man who is holy. You've gone far enough!"

8 Moses also said to Korah, "Listen, you Levites!

9 Isn't it enough for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the rest of the community of Israel? The LORD has brought you near himself to do the work for his tent and stand in front of the community to serve them.

10 He has brought you and all the other Levites near himself, but now you demand to be priests.
