Numbers 16:41
Numbers 16:41 – Israel’s New Rebellion and the Plague This section describes how, the very next day after God’s judgment on Korah and his followers, the Israelites complained again against Moses and Aaron. Even after seeing such a great warning, the people accused Moses and Aaron of killing “the people of the Lord.” As a result, God’s anger was stirred, and a deadly plague broke out among the people. Moses and Aaron responded by praying and making atonement to stop the plague. This passage shows both the stubbornness of the people and the mercy of God through the prayers of His servants.v. 41: The day after Korah’s rebellion, the Israelites again complained against Moses and Aaron, saying, “You have killed the people of the Lord” (Num. 16:41 a). They ignored the clear warning from God’s judgment and even called the rebels “the people of the Lord.” This showed how quickly people can forget God’s lessons and how deep their stubbornness can be.
