Verse Explanation
Moses told Korah and his followers that the Lord would show who truly belonged to Him and who was chosen to serve Him. Moses explained that God would reveal His decision. This demonstrated that spiritual authority comes from God's calling, not from personal ambition or public demand.
History
The role of priests and Levites was established through God's instructions at Sinai.
