The Danger of the Crowd

Commentators emphasize that Korah's rebellion was not a small fringe movement. He successfully persuaded and gathered "all the congregation" against Moses and Aaron. Scholars like Gill suggest Korah campaigned through the tribes, framing his power grab as being for the public good. This serves as a powerful reminder of how easily a crowd can be swayed against God-appointed leadership.
