Parallels

  • Numbers 16:31-33 (structural): Narrative resolution of the rebellion: the earth opens and swallows Dathan and Abiram and their households — the punishment of the very individuals listed in 16:1.
  • Numbers 26:9-11 (structural): Later census/history that recalls the fate of Korah's party — notes that the sons of Korah did not die while Dathan and Abiram perished, tying back to the names in 16:1.
  • Psalm 106:16-18 (allusion): A poetic recounting of Israel's rebellions that refers to the episode of Korah and company, echoing the provocation and consequences associated with the leaders named in 16:1.
  • Jude 1:11 (allusion): New Testament denunciation that cites 'Korah's rebellion' as an example of godless opposition and ruin, directly alluding to the revolt begun by the figures listed in Numbers 16:1.

Parallels

  • Numbers 16:3 (structural): Immediate continuation of the same episode listing Korah's co-conspirators: identifies the 250 leaders who 'rose up' with him (direct narrative parallel).
  • Numbers 12:1-2 (thematic): Another internal challenge to Moses' authority—Miriam and Aaron oppose Moses—shows theme of internal elite resistance to prophetic/leadership authority in Israel's wilderness narratives.
  • Exodus 32:1-6 (thematic): The golden calf incident depicts mass rebellion and leaders leading the people away from Moses' leadership—parallels popular and elite opposition to divinely appointed authority.
  • Psalm 106:16-18 (allusion): Poetic retelling of Israel's rebellions that echoes the Korah episode (envying Moses/Aaron and the fate of Dathan and Abiram), linking this event to the tradition of communal insurrection.
  • Jude 1:11 (allusion): New Testament citation that explicitly invokes 'Korah's rebellion' as a paradigmatic example of corrupt opponents—reuses the episode as a moral/theological denunciation of rebellious leaders.

Parallels

  • Numbers 16:7–11 (verbal): Moses' reply in the same episode directly answers the complaint, distinguishing the special, separated roles given to Aaron/Levi from the congregation (‘Has the LORD made you a whole congregation of Levites… and seek ye the priesthood also?’).
  • Exodus 19:5–6 (thematic): God’s declaration that Israel is a ‘holy nation’ and ‘a kingdom of priests’ is the background for Korah’s claim that ‘all the congregation are holy.’
  • Leviticus 10:2 (thematic): Divine judgment on unauthorized or improper approach to God (Nadab and Abihu consumed by fire) parallels the lethal punishment meted out to Korah and his followers for arrogating priestly roles.
  • Psalm 82:6 (thematic): The motif of humans being called/claiming elevated status (‘I said, “You are gods”’) and the ensuing divine judgment resonates with Korah’s appeal to the congregation’s holiness and his challenge to leadership.
  • 1 Peter 2:9 (allusion): The New Testament citation of Israel as a ‘royal priesthood’ reutilizes Exodus’ theme that ‘all the people’ are set apart—showing the same theological language Korah exploits, though applied differently in apostolic teaching.

Parallels

  • Numbers 16:35 (structural): Immediate narrative outcome: fire from the LORD consumes the 250 men who offered incense — directly follows Moses' instruction in 16:17 and shows the divine judgment on unauthorized offerings.
  • Numbers 16:38-40 (structural): Reports that the censers of the transgressors were made into a bronze covering for the altar and set apart as a sign for Israel — a direct material and ritual aftermath of the 250 censers taken in 16:17.
  • Numbers 17:8 (thematic): Aaron's budding rod vindicates the Aaronic priesthood after Korah's challenge; thematically linked to the censers episode as tests and signs establishing legitimate priestly authority.
  • Leviticus 10:1-3 (thematic): Nadab and Abihu offer 'strange/unauthorized fire' and are consumed by divine fire — thematically parallels the danger and judgment associated with improper priestly use of fire/incense in Num 16:17–35.

  • Exod.32.10 (thematic): God tells Moses He will consume the people for idolatry—like Num.16.20 this is God speaking to Moses about impending corporate judgment and invokes the leader’s role in intercession/restraint of wrath.

Parallels

  • And fire came forth from the LORD and consumed the two hundred and fifty men who offered the incense.

And Korah son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi, took men; and Dathan and Abiram sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, were with them.

They rose up before Moses — with them two hundred and fifty leaders of the congregation, chosen men, men of renown.

They assembled against Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “It is too much for you! For the whole congregation — they are all holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them; why then do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the LORD?”

When Moses heard it, he fell on his face. And he spoke to Korah and to all his company, saying, “At morning light the LORD will show who is his, and who is holy, and will bring him near; the one whom he chooses, he will bring near to himself.

Do this: take censers, Korah — each of you — and put fire in them. And put incense in them before the LORD tomorrow; and the man whom the LORD chooses shall be the holy one. You Levites have taken too much upon yourselves.” And Moses said to Korah, “Hear now, you sons of Levi:

Is it little to you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to do the service of the tent of meeting, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them?

He has brought you near — you and all your kindred the sons of Levi with you — and would you seek the priesthood also?

Therefore you and all your company who gather against the LORD — what is Aaron that you complain against him?”

Then Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab; but they said, “We will not come up.

Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey to kill us in the wilderness? You would also make yourself a prince over us.

Moreover you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards; will you put out the eyes of these men? We will not come up.”

Moses was very angry and said to the LORD, “Do not regard their offering; I have not taken so much as a donkey from them, nor have I wronged one of them.” And Moses said to Korah, “You and all your company be present before the LORD — you, they, and Aaron — tomorrow.

Take each man his censer, and put fire in them, and put incense in them before the LORD — every man his censer — two hundred and fifty censers — and you also take your censer, Aaron.” So they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense on them, and stood at the door of the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron. And Korah gathered the whole congregation against the door of the tent of meeting; and the glory of the LORD appeared to all the congregation.

Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

“Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.”

They fell on their faces and said, “O God, God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will you be angry with all the congregation?” And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

“Speak to the congregation, saying, ‘Get away from around the dwelling of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.’ ”

Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel went after him. And he spoke to the congregation, saying, “Depart, please, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be swept away with all their sins.” So they moved away from the dwelling of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram — every man from his own place; and Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the door of their tents, with their wives and their sons and their little ones. And Moses said, “By this you shall know that the LORD has sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of my own will.

If these men die the common death of all men, or if they meet the fate of all men, then the LORD has not sent me. But if the LORD creates a new thing and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that belongs to them, and they go down alive into Sheol, then you shall know that these men have despised the LORD.” And as he had finished speaking all these words, the ground under them split apart.

The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and their houses and all the men that were with Korah and all their goods. So they and all that belonged to them went down alive into Sheol, and the earth closed over them; and they perished from among the congregation. And all Israel who were around them fled at their cry, for they said, “Lest the earth swallow us up!” And fire came forth from the LORD and consumed the two hundred and fifty men who offered the incense.
