Korah and several ringleaders assembled a group of two hundred fifty respected leaders from the twelve tribes and they went to Moses and Aaron and said, “What makes you think you’re the only ones in charge? Why do you think you’re so much better than anyone else?” Upon hearing this, Moses prayed to God; and then he said, “God will show us.”
Korah continued to agitate and he got the rest of the Israelites to join in the rebellion against Moses and Aaron. God’s wrath was poured out against the ringleaders by opening the ground and swallowing the ringleaders and their families; and the two hundred fifty leaders were consumed by fire.
