Numbers 16:11

WEB

Therefore you and all your company are gathered together against the Lord: and Aaron, what is he that you murmur against him?"

KJV

For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?

Commentary

For which cause, both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the Lord,.... For gathering together against his ministers, whom he had put into office to act under him, and endeavouring to overturn a constitution of his erecting, and resisting and not submitting to an ordinance of his, is interpreted gathering against him, and acting in opposition to him; see Rom 13:1 , and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him? what is his transgression? what has he done? as Aben Ezra paraphrases it; he is not chargeable with any fault, he did not take upon him the office of high priest of himself, God called him to it, and put him in it; he is only his minister, and by no means to be blamed, and therefore it is unreasonable to envy him, or murmur against him; and, indeed, murmuring against him is murmuring against the Lord.
