Numbers 16
Context is Chapters 16-18: the Preeminence of God’s chosen High Priest
God wants the reader to get the divine origin, the sacred role, the mediating ministry of the Aaron’s priesthood because the Promised Messiah, who will one day be the ultimate High Priest who provides the atoning sacrifice for our sins to rescue us from God’s judgment. Aaron points to Christ.
Numbers 16 Narrative Flows Like this:

A Collusion of Complainers Contempt v 12-15
Korah complains against Aaron’s special status being high priest and his tribe having the responsibility and access of making sin offerings to God, he wants the same status and demands it.

The Reubenites complain against Moses and God for delivering them from slavery in Egypt and not bring them into the Promised Land which they declined to go into in an act of unfaithfulness to God.

A Servant-Leadership Response v 4,15, 22, 43-48
Moses is “very angry” the only time this phrase is used about Moses.
Moses and Aaron intervene on behalf of the people to rescue them from the wrath of God.

A Just Response by God v 20-35
God announces His judgement on their unbelief and rejection of Him, just as He will ultimately do with everyone who chooses to reject His grace and opportunity to be made right with Him.
How catastrophic disunity can happen…
A person cannot stand things not going their way
(nothing wrong with valid critiques)
“One day Korah… a descendant of Kohath son of Levi, conspired with Dathan and Abiram…”

A grievance gathering generates into disgruntled group
(see a problem, be a solution)
“They incited a rebellion against Moses, along with 250 other leaders of the community, all prominent members of the assembly.”

Accusations are made against leaders
(seek understanding /resolution)
“They united against Moses and Aaron and said, “You have gone too far! The whole community of Israel has been set apart by the Lord, and he is with all of us. What right do you have to act as though you are greater than the rest of the Lord’s people?”
What we can do to prevent it…
A godly leader or a grace filled community counter the wrong for God’s glory
“When Moses heard what they were saying, he fell face down on the ground. Then he said to Korah and his followers…Then Moses spoke again to Korah… present yourselves before the Lord. Aaron will also be here.”
