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}

(349) Kora og hans følge, som egenkærligt tragtede efter præsteembedet, tog endda røgelseskarrene og stod ved tabernaklets dør sammen med Moses. Kora gemte på sin misundelse og sit oprør indtil han selv blev bedraget og han tænkte virkelig at menigheden var et meget retfærdigt folk og at Moses var en tyrannisk hersker, der hele tiden holdt på det nødvendige i menighedens hellighed, skønt der ikke var brug for det, for de var hellige.
