Numbers 16:10

and that he has brought you near, and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you? and do you seek the priesthood also?

KJV

And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?

Commentary

And he hath brought thee near to him,.... To be in his courts, to watch in his house, and wait on his priests, for which an amp le provision was made by tithes. Korah is there personally addressed: and all thy brethren, the sons of Levi, with thee; the whole tribe of them, excepting Aaron and his family, who were advanced to be priests: and seek ye the priesthood also? the high priesthood, as the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan; this opens the true cause of their discontent and rebellion; they could not be satisfied with being the ministers of the priests, but wanted to be priests themselves, and Korah perhaps to be high priest.
