"The Rebels Perish Korah, in his exalted self-confidence, gathered all the congregation of Israel against Moses and Aaron, “unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the Lord appeared unto all the congregation. And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt Thou be wroth with all the congregation? 3T 349"
"Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment."
EGW directly quotes Numbers 16:21.
"And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the Lord appeared unto all the congregation."
The EGW passage directly quotes Numbers 16:19, making it an explicit allusion. It also describes the context of Korah gathering the congregation and the appearance of God's glory, which is central to the narrative in Numbers 16.
"Korah and his company, who in their self-confidence aspired to the priesthood, even took the censers and stood in the door of the tabernacle with Moses. Korah had cherished his envy and rebellion until he was self- deceived, and he really thought that the congregation were a very righteous people and that Moses was a tyrannical ruler, continually dwelling upon the necessity of the congregation's being holy, when there was no need of it, for they were holy. 3T 349.1"
"And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the Lord is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the Lord?"
The EGW passage reflects the sentiment expressed in Numbers 16:3, where Korah and his followers accuse Moses and Aaron of taking too much upon themselves, claiming that the entire congregation is holy. EGW elaborates on Korah's self-deception and belief in the congregation's righteousness.
"them, not back and forward in the wilderness, but into the Promised Land. They said that it was Moses who had told them that they could not go into the land, and that the Lord had not thus said. 3T 349.2"
"And wherefore hath the Lord brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?"
The EGW passage echoes the sentiment of the people wanting to return to Egypt and blaming Moses for their predicament, which is present in Numbers 14:3. While not a direct quote, the thematic connection is clear.
