Num 26:9-11 | MHM | STEP | vv. 9-11 : The tribe of Reuben is singled out because of Dathan and Abiram’s rebellion with Korah, who was a Levite (Numbers 26:9-11 ). Although these men were famous and had great skill, they became examples of punishment for their pride and rebellion against God and Moses. God made them a warning for all future generations. However, the children of Korah did not die because they refused to join in the rebellion. This teaches that if we do not take part in the sins of others, we will not share in their punishment. The sons of Korah later became important worship leaders in Israel, and their history served as a lesson that God can bring good even from a troubled past.
