Korah

Korah The leader of a revolt against Moses and Aaron (Num. 16), who complained that the leaders were keeping the priesthood to themselves. The narrative may conceal a historical probability that there was a dispute about priestly prerogatives—who had the right to offer incense before the Lord? According to the narrative, those who objected to the Levitical privileges were swallowed up alive (Dathan and Abiram, Deut. 11: 6), though the sons of Korah were spared when he died (Num. 26: 11).

earthquakes

A Dictionary of the Bible | 1997 | | Â© A Dictionary of the Bible 1997, originally published by Oxford University Press 1997. (Hide copyright information) Copyright

earthquakes Frequently experienced in Palestine (Amos 1: 1) as natural phenomena; but also earthquakes are the product of apocalyptic symbolism, such as the earthquake recorded at the time of the crucifixion (Matt. 27: 51) and at the Resurrection of Jesus (Matt. 28: 2), perhaps even that during Paul's imprisonment at Philippi (Acts 16: 26). In the Marcan Apocalypse (Mark 13: 8) there is a prophecy of earthquakes, which the evangelist may regard as fulfilled at Jesus' crucifixion. Apocalyptic earthquakes are also a sign of the End (Rev. 6: 12).

Legends describing earthquakes are those when Dathan and Abiram are swallowed up (Num. 16: 30–4), and the divine theophany at Sinai (Exod. 19: 18).
