Bamidbar 16:11

11 For which cause both thou and all thy edah are gathered together against Hashem; and what is Aharon, that ye murmur against him?

Bamidbar 16:11 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 16:11

For which cause, both [thou] and all thy company [are]
gathered together against the Lord
For gathering together against his ministers, whom he had put into office to act under him, and endeavouring to overturn a constitution of his erecting, and resisting and not submitting to an ordinance of his, is interpreted gathering against him, and acting in opposition to him; see ( Romans 13:1 Romans 13:2 ) ;

and what [is] Aaron, that ye murmur against him?
what is his transgression? what has he done? as Aben Ezra paraphrases it; he is not chargeable with any fault, he did not take upon him the office of high priest of himself, God called him to it, and put him in it; he is only his minister, and by no means to be blamed, and therefore it is unreasonable to envy him, or murmur against him; and, indeed, murmuring against him is murmuring against the Lord.
