Episode notes
The Rebellion of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram
- Korah, Dathan, and Abiram rebelled against Moses and Aaron's leadership.
- Their rebellion stemmed from a desire for the priesthood, questioning Moses' authority.
The Role of the Levites
- The Levites, including Korah, were already separated for service in the Tabernacle.
- They were responsible for caring for holy objects, second only to the priests.
Romanticizing the Past
- The Israelites, longing for their past, viewed their slavery in Egypt as a land of milk and honey.
- Fr. Mike Schmitz connects this to our tendency to romanticize past sins or difficult times.
