Welcomes you to your Sabbath Service! Genesis 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

Numbers 12:1-4 Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman. They said, Has the LORD indeed spoken only with Moses? Hasn t he spoken also with us? And the LORD heard it. Now the man Moses was very humble, above all the men who were on the surface of the earth. The LORD spoke suddenly to Moses, to Aaron, and to Miriam, You three come out to the Tent of Meeting! The three of them came out. Luke 17:10 Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, We are unworthy servants. We have only done our duty. (AKJV) Numbers 13:22-24 And they ascended by the south, and came to Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it between two on a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs. The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes, which the children of Israel cut down from there. 2275.

(AKJV) Genesis 13:18 Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelled in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar to the Lord. (AKJV) Genesis 14:13 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelled in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcl, lkva and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram. Genesis 23:10 And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, So Hebron goes from Amorite control to Hittite control to Amalekite control. (KJV) Numbers 13:30,31 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we. (AKJV) Deuteronomy 14:1 You are the children of the Lord your God: you shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead. Numbers 12:1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman. Numbers 14:1,2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness! The people have been murmuring about their leadership and the Promised Land of Israel that God was gifting them. Now this week we have the rebellion of Korah with all of his murmurings. It comes right after the sin of the spies we have the rebellion of Korah. (KJV) Numbers 16:1-3 Now Korach, xrq the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men: And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown: 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? Korach comes across a champion of equality, railing against a "class system" that categorizes levels of holiness within the community. Yet, in the same breath, he contends that he is the more worthy candidate for the High Priesthood. 2
(KJV) Exodus 6:16a And these are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari: (KJV) Exodus 6:18a And the sons of Kohath; Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel: (KJV) Exodus 6:20a And Amram took him Jochebed his father's sister to wife; and she bare him Aaron and Moses (KJV) Exodus 6:21 And the sons of Izhar; Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri. Korah was a firstborn (KJV) Exodus 6:22 And the sons of Uzziel; Mishael, and Elizaphan, and Zithri. Korah is the firstborn of Izhar or son of the anointing oil (KJV) Numbers 3:30 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel. (KJV) Numbers 2:10a On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben according to their armies (KJV) Numbers 3:29 The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle southward. (KJV) 1Chronicles 5:1a Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for he was the firstborn; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father's bed, his birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: (KJV) Numbers 16:4-7 And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face: And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even tomorrow the LORD will show who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him. This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company; And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the LORD to morrow: and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi. (AKJV) Numbers 16:10-12 And He has brought you near to him, and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you. And you seek the priesthood also? For which cause both you and all your company are gathered against the LORD. And what is Aaron, that you murmur against him? And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab which said, We will not come up. Numbers 16:13 Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, but you must also make yourself a prince over us? 3
Exodus 2:13,14 He went out the second day, and behold, two men of the Hebrews were fighting with each other. He said to him who did the wrong, Why do you strike your fellow? He said, Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you plan to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian? Moses was afraid, and said, Surely this thing is known. (AKJV) Numbers 16:21-27 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. And they fell on their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will you be wroth with all the congregation? And the LORD spake to Moses, saying, Speak to the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him. And he spake to the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins. So they got up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children. (Where s On the son of Peleth?) (KJV) Numbers 16:30,31 But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth and swallow them up with all that appertain unto them, and they go down alive into the pit, then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD. And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, the ground clave asunder that was under them. (KJV) Numbers 16:33-35 They, and all that [appertained] to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation. And all Israel that [were] round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up [also]. And there came out a fire from the Lord, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense. (AKJV) Revelations 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. (KJV) Psalms 106:13-18 They soon forgot his works; they waited not for his counsel: But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul. They envied Moses also in the camp, [and] Aaron the saint of the Lord. The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram. And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked. (KJV) Psalms 106:24,25 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word: But murmured in their tents, [and] hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord. 4
(HNV) Numbers 16:41 But on the next day all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron saying, You have killed the LORD S people! (AKJV) Numbers 16:49 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah. (AKJV) Numbers 17:12,13 And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish. Whoever comes any thing near to the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying? Just shut up and quit your grumbling and you won t die! (AKJV) 1Corinthians 10:10,11 Neither murmur you, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. Now all these things happened to them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the world are come. (AKJV) Numbers 17:8-10 And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds. And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD to all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod. And the LORD said to Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and you shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not. (AKJV) Psalms 132:17,18 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish. (AKJV) Jeremiah 33:15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up to David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. (AKJV) Zechariah 6:12,13 And speak to him, saying, Thus speaks the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD: Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule on his throne; and he shall be a priest on his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both. (HNV) Revelation 1:4-6 Yochanan, to the seven assemblies that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from God, who is and who was and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits who are before his throne; and from Yeshua the Messiah, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood; and he made us to be a Kingdom, priests to his God and Father; to him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. 5
(KJV) Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. (KJV) Numbers 26:11 Notwithstanding the children of Korah died not. (KJV) 1Chronicles 9:19 And Shallum son of Kore, son of Ebiasaph, son of Korah, and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle, and their fathers being over the host of LORD, were keepers of the entry; (AKJV) 1Chronicles 6:31,32 And these are they whom David set over the service of song in the house of the LORD, after that the ark had rest. And they ministered before the dwelling place of the tabernacle of the congregation with singing, until Solomon had built the house of the LORD in Jerusalem: and then they waited on their office according to their order. (AKJV) 1Chronicles 6:37b, 38 the son of Korah, son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi, son of Israel. John 10:22-25 It was the Feast of Hanukkah at Jerusalem. It was winter, and Yeshua was walking in the temple, in Solomon s porch. The Judeans therefore came around him and said to him, How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly. Yeshua answered them, I told you, and you don t believe. The works that I do in my Father s name, these testify about me. John 10:30-35 I and the Father are one. Therefore the Judeans took up stones again to stone him. Yeshua answered them, I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me? The Judeans answered him, We don t stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy: because you, being a man, make yourself God. Yeshua answered them, Isn t it written in your law, I said, you are gods? If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can t be broken). 6
