Brojevi 16:41

Croatian Bible

span data-lang="hrv" data-trans="cro" data-ref="num.16.1" class="versetxt"> Korah, sin Jisharov, sin Kehatov, sin Levijev, pa Datan i Abiram, sinovi Eliabovi, i On, sin Peletov - potomci Rubenovi - ustanu protiv Mojsija zajedno sa dvjesta pedeset Izraelaca, glavara zajednice, uglednih na skupštini i ljudi na glasu. Oni se sjate oko Mojsija i Arona govoreći im: "Vi prelazite mjeru! Sva je zajednica, svi njezini članovi, posvećena i među njima je Jahve. Zašto se onda uzvisujete iznad zajednice Jahvine!" Kad to ču Mojsije, pade ničice. Zatim reče Korahu i svoj njegovoj družini: "Sutra će Jahve pokazati tko je njegov i tko je posvećen, kome dopušta da mu se približi. Koga sebi izabere, k sebi će ga i pustiti. Učinite ovo: uzmite kadionike, Korah i sva njegova družina; sutra stavite u njih vatre i metnite odozgo tamjana pred Jahvom. Koga Jahve odabere, taj neka bude posvećen. Vi prelazite mjeru, Levijevci!" Potom Mojsije reče Korahu: "Poslušajte, Levijevci! Zar vam je malo što vas je Bog Izraelov izdvojio iz Izraelove zajednice da vas približi k sebi te da vršite službu u Jahvinu prebivalištu i da stojite pred zajednicom služeći joj? Promaknuo je tebe i s tobom svu tvoju braću Levijevce, a vi još tražite i svećeništvo! Ti i sva tvoja družina, dakle, sjatili ste se protiv Jahve; jer što je Aron da protiv njega rogoborite?" Zatim posla Mojsije po Datana i Abirama, sinove Eliabove, ali oni odgovore: "Nećemo doći! Zar je malo što si nas odveo iz zemlje kojom teče med i mlijeko da nas pobiješ u ovoj pustinji, pa hoćeš da nasilno zagospodariš nad nama? Nisi nas uveo u zemlju kojom teče med i mlijeko i nisi nam dao u posjed njive i vinograde! Misliš li iskopati oči ovim ljudima? Nećemo doći!" Mojsije se vrlo razljuti i reče Jahvi: "Ne obaziri se na njihovu prinosnicu! Ni jednoga njihova magarca nisam prisvojio niti sam ijednoga od njih oštetio." Zatim Mojsije reče Korahu: "Ti i sva tvoja družina stupite sutra pred Jahvu; ti, i oni, i Aron. Neka svaki uzme svoj kadionik, stavi u nj tamjana i neka svaki donese svoj kadionik pred Jahvu - dvjesta i pedeset kadionika. A i ti i Aron donesite svaki svoj kadionik." Svaki uzme svoj kadionik, stavi u nj vatre, onda odozgo metne tamjana i stane s Mojsijem i Aronom kod ulaza u Šator sastanka. Kad, naprama njima, sabra Korah svu zajednicu na ulazu u Šator sastanka, onda se svoj zajednici pokaza slava Jahvina. I reče Jahve Mojsiju i Aronu: "Odvojite se od te zajednice da je odmah satrem!" Oni popadoše ničice i povikaše: "Bože! Bože životnog duha u svakome tijelu! Zar ćeš se razgnjeviti na svu zajednicu kad je samo jedan sagriješio!" Onda Jahve reče Mojsiju: "Reci toj zajednici: 'Uklonite se iz okolice prebivališta Koraha, Datana i Abirama!'" Mojsije ustade i pođe k Datanu i Abiramu. Za njim krenuše izraelske starješine. Zatim ovako progovori zajednici: "Odstupite od šatora tih opakih ljudi! Ne dotičite se ničega što je njihovo, da ne budete uništeni zbog svih njihovih grijeha." Tako se oni udalje iz okolice prebivališta Korahova, Datanova i Abiramova. Uto izađu Datan i Abiram te stanu na ulazu svojih šatora sa svojim ženama, svojim sinovima i svojom nejačadi. "Po ovom ćete vidjeti", reče Mojsije, "da me Jahve poslao da vršim sva ova djela, a da ih ne činim sam od sebe: ako ovi ljudi umru kao što umru i svi ljudi; ako ih pohodi sudbina kakva pohodi sve ljude, onda me Jahve nije poslao. Ali ako Jahve učini nečuveno: ako zemlja rastvori svoje ralje i proguta ih sa svim što je njihovo te živi siđu u Šeol, onda znajte da su ovi ljudi prezreli Jahvu." A kad on završi sve te riječi, tlo se pod njima raspukne; zemlja rastvori svoje ralje i proguta ih s njihovim domovima, sa svim Korahovim ljudima i svim njihovim imanjem. Živi siđu u Šeol, oni i sve njihovo. Onda se nad njima zemlja zatvori i oni iščeznu iz zbora. Na njihov vrisak svi Izraelci što su stajali oko njih pobjegoše govoreći: "Da i nas zemlja ne proguta!" Ali sukne oganj od Jahve te proždre dvjesta i pedeset ljudi koji su prinosili tamjan.

on the morrow: It is not unlikely, that the people persuaded themselves that Moses and Aaron had used some cunning in this business and that the earthquake and fire were artificial; for, had they discerned the hand of God in this punishment, they would scarcely have dared the anger of the Lord in the very face of his justice. And while they thus absurdly imputed this judgment to Moses and Aaron, they impiously called the persons, thus perishing in their rebellion, "the people of the Lord!"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But on the morrow,.... The day following the dreadful catastrophe, the earth swallowing up Dathan and Abiram, and all that belonged to them, the burning of Korah and the two hundred fifty men of his company:

all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses,

and against Aaron; not the princes and heads of the people only, but the whole body of them; though the above persons that murmured against them had but the day before been made such dreadful examples of divine vengeance. This is a most surprising instance of the corruption and depravity of human nature, of the blindness, hardness, and stupidity of the hearts of men, which nothing but the grace of God can remove; the images of the awful sights many of them had seen must be strong in their minds; the shrieks of the wretched creatures perishing must be as yet as it were in their ears; the smell of the fire was scarce out of their nostrils; and yet, notwithstanding this shocking scene of things, they fell into the same evil, and murmur against the men, whose authority, being called in question, had been confirmed by the above awful instances:

saying, ye have killed the people of the Lord; so they called the rebels, and hereby justified them in all the wickedness they had been guilty of; and though their death was so manifestly by the immediate hand of God, yet they lay it to the charge of Moses and Aaron, because it was in vindication of them that it was done, and because they did not intercede by prayer for them; though it is certain they did all they could to reclaim them from their sin, and prevent their ruin; yet the people insist on it that they were the cause or occasion of their death, as the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan express it.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Numbers 16:41. On the morrow all the congregation - murmured — It is very likely that the people persuaded themselves that Moses and Aaron had used some cunning in this business, and that the earthquake and fire were artificial; else, had they discerned the hand of God in this punishment, could they have dared the anger of the Lord in the very face of justice?
