SCRIPTURE

"Therefore thou and all thy company are gathered together against Jehovah: and Aaron, what is he that ye murmur against him?" — Numbers 16:11 (ASV)

The words of Moses in his wrath are abrupt. The Aaronic priesthood was of divine appointment; and therefore, in rejecting it, the conspirators were truly rebelling against God.
