What happened to Korah in the Bible?
Korah introduced strange fire into the altar, which was foreign to what God had instructed for tabernacle worship. God brought them before Moses and Aaron, and the earth opened up, and they perished. Scripture describes this as the gainsaying of Korah.
Les explains that Korah perished in the gainsaying of Korah, as it is known in the Old Testament. Korah introduced strange fire into the altar, which was foreign to what God had instructed for tabernacle worship. When God brought them before Moses and Aaron, the earth opened up and they were gone. Their premise was to institute something foreign to the tabernacle worship, contrary to God's instruction, serving as a warning about false teaching.
