Welcome back. Let’s continue our discussion, Dathan and Abiram have some harsh words for Moses. They accuse him of failing to deliver on his promises, reminding him of the bountiful land he described, a land overflowing with milk and honey. They claim they are now left to perish in the desert, a far cry from the prosperity they were promised. Their rebellion is evident, they refuse to acknowledge Moses’ authority and question his leadership. They claim they speak for the people, highlighting the dangers of groupthink and manipulation. The audacity of Dathan and Abiram is astounding. Moses, clearly frustrated, turns to God. He pleads with Him not to accept their offerings, emphasizing his own selfless service. He reminds God that he has never taken anything for himself, not even a single donkey. He implores God to reject their part in the communal offerings, fearing their rebellion might taint the sanctity of the ritual. We see the depth of Moses’ commitment to his people and his unwavering faith in God, even when faced with such blatant disrespect. Join us next time as we delve deeper into the consequences of this rebellion. This podcast was produced and sponsored by Daniel Aharonoff.
