Portion Summary

Korah (korach, קורח) was the name of a prominent Levite. It is also the name of the thirty-eighth reading from the TORAH. It comes from the first verse of this week’s reading, which says, “Now Korah the son of Izhar… took action” (Numbers 16:1). This week’s TORAH reading tells the story of how Korah led an unsuccessful rebellion against Moses and Aaron. After thwarting the insurrection, YAH confirms Aaron in the priesthood and provides additional legislation regarding priestly and Levitical privileges and responsibilities.
