LESSON 27

They Challenge Jehovah

They Challenge Jehovah

After sometime pass, when the Israelite dem wor still in the wilderness, Korah, Dathan, Abiram, and 250 other people challenge Moses. They tell him say: ‘We tire with you now! Why you must be our leader and Aaron be the high priest? Jehovah with all of us, that not only you and Aaron.’ Jehovah wor not happy. It wor like they wor challenging him!

So Moses tell Korah and all the people that wor following him: ‘Tomorrow yor must come to the tabernacle, and bring your fire holders full up with incense. Jehovah will show us who he na choose.’

The next day, Korah and the 250 men dem went to meet Moses to the tabernacle. Then they burn incense just like they wor priests. Then Jehovah tell Moses and Aaron say: ‘Yor move from among Korah and his men dem.’

Even though Korah went to Moses to the tabernacle, but Dathan, Abiram, and their family refuse to go. Jehovah tell the Israelite dem to move from side Korah, Dathan, and Abiram tents. The Israelite dem move from there quick-quick. Dathan, Abiram, and their family stand outside their tents. Right away, the ground open and swallow them! To the tabernacle, fire come down and burn Korah and his 250 men dem.

Then Jehovah tell Moses say: ‘Take one stick from all the leader dem from each tribe, and write their name on it. But the stick from the Levi tribe, write Aaron name on it. Put the stick dem inside the tabernacle, and the person I will choose, flower will grow on their stick.’

The next day, Moses bring all the stick dem and show it to the leader dem. Flower wor growing on Aaron stick and it wor having ripe almonds on it. In this way, Jehovah wor showing that he na choose Aaron to be the high priest.

“Be obedient to those who are taking the lead among you and be submissive.”—Hebrews 13:17
