[Avodah] Korachs Proof That the Entire Congregation is Holy

[Meir Rabi]

Rashi [16:3]  "You, Moses and Aharon, were not the only ones to hear Gd say
“I am the Lord your Gd …” argues Korach

This seems to be a proof for Moshe Rs superiority, and cause to accept his
nomination of Aharon. How is this understood?

The Nachalas YaAkov suggests that it is said only about Aharon. But that is
not how rashi reads, Lo Attem LeVadChem ShamU ... is in the plural.
besides even if said in the singular and referring to Aharon alone, it
would still backfire since it would point to Moshe Rs superiority.


Best,

Meir G. Rabi
