‏ Numbers 16:19-22

The Glory of the LORD Appears

The next day they all come to the doorway of the tent of meeting. Again God speaks about it that He wants to consume the whole people. But again the true shepherd reveals himself, to whom the people of God is dear. Moses does not take the opportunity to get rid of his opponents. That is a great contrast with Korah, Dathan and Abiram. They have no heart for the people, for they drag them with themselves into destruction. By the intercession of Moses God saves the people (Psa 106:23).

God is called here the “God of the spirits of all flesh”. This name is also found in Numbers 27 (Num 27:16). This name indicates that God is omniscient, that He comprehends man’s heart, mind and will.
