English: The Death of Korah, Dathan and Abiram, by Gustave Doré (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Hey person, after those Israelites were chased down the hill by the Amalekites what happened?
They didn’t? No way. Isn’t that kind of like a bully who gets beat on so he turns around to pick on somebody else?
I’m listening.
After the Amalekites chased the Israelites down the hill and the Israelites realized they were stuck in the wilderness for forty years for not trusting God, they decided to turn on Moses and his brother Aaron.
Well, three of them Korah, Dathan, and Abiram turned on Moses and Aaron, and they had 250 other guys with them. They didn’t like that God spoke to Moses and that Aaron was the high priest. They figured they should all have equal access to God and be equal with Moses and Aaron.
Moses told these guys who had turned on him that it was against the Lord they had turned. He summoned Dathan and Abiram but they refused to come and just grumbled that Moses hadn’t brought them into a land flowing with milk and honey.
I’d be complaining if I was left in the desert too. Sand doesn’t taste anything like dog treats.
Yes, I’m listening.
The Lord knew that Korah, Dathan, and Abiram had gone too far and He told Moses to tell everyone to move away from their tents. When the people had moved, the ground opened up and swallowed the three rebels along with their tents and all their stuff.
I was looking for a tent for my miracle healings the other day. Maybe I’d better stay away from tents.
I am listening person. You can go on with the story. I’m waiting.
The Lord decided to get rid of the grumbling so He told Moses to collect the staff of a leader from each of the tribes of Israel and write the owner’s name on it. The Lord said that the staff belonging to the man He chose would sprout.
The next day Aaron’s staff had not only sprouted, but had budded, blossomed, and produced almonds too. The Lord told Moses to put Aaron’s staff in front of the tablets with the Ten Commandments on them as a reminder to the rebellious.
Do you think I could get a staff like that? But I don’t think I want mine to come from an almond tree. Do you think I could get one from that bone tree I found?
There’s only one room in our house that gets a good sunny spot. And it’s the room that my people haven’t been spending much time in.
