Yet, it seems that Korah envied Moses and Aaron and resented their prominence, and this led him to say ​ — wrongly — ​ that they had arbitrarily and selfishly lifted themselves up above the congregation. ​ — Psalm 106: 16.
Tundub siiski, et Korah kadestas Moosest ja Aaronit ning teda ärritas nende silmapaistev positsioon. Seetõttu arvas ta – valesti –, et nad on end omavoliliselt ja omakasupüüdlikult kogudusest kõrgemale tõstnud.
