And are perished in the gainsaying of Core. In these words the Apostle layeth down the sixth sin of these seducers: to understand the meaning whereof, consider two things: first the history it self: secondly, the application of it. The history is recorded in Numb. 16. wherein Moses mentioneth three things concerning Corah: first, the cause of his sin, which was ambition and pride; for Core (being a Levite) affected the Priesthood of Aaron: and Dathan and Abiram (being heads of the tribe of Reuben) strove to take the government of the people out of Moses his hand, who was appointed by God as King over the Israelites, Deut. 33.5. Secondly, the sin it self, namely in this their discontentment, they enterprised an insurrection against Moses and Aaron: they stood up against them, contradicted and gainsaid them in their offices; and charged them first that they usurped authority, and took too much upon them, and lifted up themselves above the congregation without the Lord, vers. 3. and therefore they would not obey Moses commandment, vers. 12. and secondly, that Moses had dealt deceitfully with the people; and (only in policy to make himself a King) had promised them a land flowing with milk and honey, whereas they saw no such matter: nay rather he had brought them out of Egypt to destroy them in the wilderness, ver. 13.14. Thirdly, their punishment for their sin, which was an horrible destruction upon them, and their company, being all of them partly swallowed up of the earth; partly devoured by fire from heaven, verse 32.35.
And are perished in the gainsaying of Core. In these words the Apostle laieth downe the sixth sinne of these seducers: to vnderstand the meaning whereof, consider two things: first the historie it selfe: secondly, the application of it. The historie is recorded in Numb. 16. wherin Moses mentioneth three things concerning Corah: first, the cause of his sinne, which was ambition and pride; for Core (being a Leuite) affected the Priesthood of Aaron: and Dathan and Abiram (being heads of the tribe of Ruben) stroue to take the gouernment of the people out of Moses his hand, who was appointed by God as King ouer the Israelites, Deut. 33.5. Secondly, the sinne it selfe, namely in this their discontentment, they enterprised an insurrection against Moses and Aaron: they stood vp against them, contradicted and gainsaid them in their offices; and charged them first that they vsurped authoritie, and tooke too much vpon them, and lifted vp themselues aboue the congregation without the Lord, vers. 3. and therefore they would not obey Moses commaundement, vers. 12. and secondly, that Moses had dealt deceitfully with the people; and (onely in policie to make himselfe a King) had promised them a land flowing with milk and honey, whereas they saw no such matter: nay rather hee had brought them out of Egypt to destroy them in the wildernes, ver. 13.14. Thirdly, their punishment for their sin, which was an horrible destruction vpon them, and their companie, being all of them partly swallowed vp of the earth; partly deuoured by fire from heauen, verse 32.35.
