  1. Numbers 26Second census of the families of Israel in the wilderness “Nevertheless the children of Korah did not die” (v. 11)

  2. The Rebellion of Korah (Numbers 16:1-35) • Korah is joined by Dathan, Abiram, and On, along with 250 leading men of Israel, to challenge the leadership authority of Moses and Aaron (vv. 1-3) • Korah’s family (Ex. 6:16-24 – descendant of Levi; cousin of Moses; had three sons) • Dathan, Abiriam, and On are Reubenites (Reuben was the oldest son of Jacob)

  3. The Rebellion of Korah (Numbers 16:1-35) • Moses accuses them of rebellion against God (vv. 4-15) • They were dissatisfied with God’s way and wanted to go beyond the authorized pattern

  4. The Rebellion of Korah (Numbers 16:1-35) • God punishes Korah, Dathan, and Abiram by swallowing them into the earth (vv. 16-35) • God swallows up their tents – households and goods (v. 32) • Dathan and Abiram’s families stood with them, and died (v. 27) • No mention of Korah’s family standing with him at his tent! • Later we read that “the children of Korah did not die” (26:11) – important detail!

  5. The Rebellion of Korah (Numbers 16:1-35) • Why did they “not die”? • Not standing at the tent with their father! • Most likely a conscious choice on their part – a life-changing choice at a critical time!

  6. Lessons from the Children of Korah • Young people can learn to make important, informed, spiritual decisions • Doing what is right can set one in opposition to family members and friends • Our good decisions can affect much good for future generations

  7. Legacy of the Childrenof Korah • Samuel, the great judge and prophet of Israel (1 Chron. 6:33-37) • Singers, instrument players, doorkeepers (1 Chron. 6:33; 15:16-17; 25:1; 9:19) • Inspired psalms from the “sons [descendants] of Korah”

  9. Who Will YOU Follow? For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness. For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in You! (Psa. 84:10-12 – sons of Korah)
