فَاغْتَاظَ مُوسَى جِدًّا وَقَالَ لِلرَّبِّ: «لاَ تَلْتَفِتْ إِلَى تَقْدِمَتِهِمَا. حِمَارًا وَاحِدًا لَمْ آخُذْ مِنْهُمْ، وَلاَ أَسَأْتُ إِلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ».

Moses was so disturbed by these scornful reproaches, that he entreated the Lord, with an assertion of his own unselfishness, not to have respect to their gift, i.e., not to accept the sacrifice which they should bring (cf. Gen 4:4). "I have not taken one ass from them, nor done harm to one of them," i.e., I have not treated them as a ruler, who demands tribute of his subjects, and oppresses them (cf. Sa1 12:3).

Probably these mutinies happened after their removal back again from Kadesh-barnea, when they were fixed (if I may so speak) for their wandering in the wilderness, and began to look upon that as their settlement. Presently after new laws given follows the story of a new rebellion, as if sin took occasion from the commandment to become more exceedingly sinful. Here is, I. A daring and dangerous rebellion raised against Moses and Aaron, by Korah, Dathan, and Abiram (Num 16:1-15). 1. Korah and his accomplices contend for the priesthood against Aaron (Num 16:3). Moses reasons with them, and appeals to God for a decision of the controversy (Num 16:4-11). 2. Dathan and Abiram quarrel with Moses, and refuse to obey his summons, which greatly grieves him (Num 16:12-15). II. A solemn appearance of the pretenders to the priesthood before God, according to order, and a public appearance of the glory of the Lord, which would have consumed the whole congregation if Moses and Aaron had not interceded (Num 16:16-22). III. The deciding of the controversy, and the crushing of the rebellion, by the cutting off of the rebels. 1. Those in their tents were buried alive (Num 16:23-34). 2. Those at the door of the tabernacle were consumed by fire (Num 16:35), and their censers preserved for a memorial (Num 16:37-40). IV. A new insurrection of the people (Num 16:41-43). 1. God stayed in the insurrection by a plague (Num 16:45). 2. Aaron stayed the plague by offering incense (Num 16:46-50). The manner and method of recording this story plainly show the ferment to have been very great.

اِقْبَلُونَا. لَمْ نَظْلِمْ أَحَدًا. لَمْ نُفْسِدْ أَحَدًا. لَمْ نَطْمَعْ فِي أَحَدٍ.
أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَمْ أَسْتَعْمِلْ شَيْئًا مِنْ هذَا، وَلاَ كَتَبْتُ هذَا لِكَيْ يَصِيرَ فِيَّ هكَذَا. لأَنَّهُ خَيْرٌ لِي أَنْ أَمُوتَ مِنْ أَنْ يُعَطِّلَ أَحَدٌ فَخْرِي.
وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَغْضَبُ عَلَى أَخِيهِ بَاطِلاً يَكُونُ مُسْتَوْجِبَ الْحُكْمِ، وَمَنْ قَالَ لأَخِيهِ: رَقَا، يَكُونُ مُسْتَوْجِبَ الْمَجْمَعِ، وَمَنْ قَالَ: يَا أَحْمَقُ، يَكُونُ مُسْتَوْجِبَ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ.
وَأَمَّا الرَّجُلُ مُوسَى فَكَانَ حَلِيمًا جِدًّا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ النَّاسِ الَّذِينَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ.
فَنَظَرَ حَوْلَهُ إِلَيْهِمْ بِغَضَبٍ، حَزِينًا عَلَى غِلاَظَةِ قُلُوبِهِمْ، وَقَالَ لِلرَّجُلِ:«مُدَّ يَدَكَ». فَمَدَّهَا، فَعَادَتْ يَدُهُ صَحِيحَةً كَالأُخْرَى.
وَكَانَ عِنْدَمَا اقْتَرَبَ إِلَى الْمَحَلَّةِ أَنَّهُ أَبْصَرَ الْعِجْلَ وَالرَّقْصَ، فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ مُوسَى، وَطَرَحَ اللَّوْحَيْنِ مِنْ يَدَيْهِ وَكَسَّرَهُمَا فِي أَسْفَلِ الْجَبَلِ.
أَنْتُمْ شُهُودٌ، وَاللهُ، كَيْفَ بِطَهَارَةٍ وَبِبِرّ وَبِلاَ لَوْمٍ كُنَّا بَيْنَكُمْ أَنْتُمُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ.
لأَنَّ فَخْرَنَا هُوَ هذَا: شَهَادَةُ ضَمِيرِنَا أَنَّنَا فِي بَسَاطَةٍ وَإِخْلاَصِ اللهِ، لاَ فِي حِكْمَةٍ جَسَدِيَّةٍ بَلْ فِي نِعْمَةِ اللهِ، تَصَرَّفْنَا فِي الْعَالَمِ، وَلاَ سِيَّمَا مِنْ نَحْوِكُمْ.
اِغْضَبُوا وَلاَ تُخْطِئُوا. لاَ تَغْرُبِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى غَيْظِكُمْ،
