About this listen
Hashem doesn’t just answer Korach once.
He responds three times, with three miracles:
1. The earth opens its mouth and swallows Korach and his household.
2. Fire from Heaven consumes the 250 men who bring unauthorized incense.
3. Aharon’s staff—a dry stick—miraculously buds, blossoms, and grows almonds.
Why three?
The Maharal explains:
Each punishment addressed a different level of rebellion—
—Against order,
—Against holiness,
—And against truth itself.
The Ari z”l adds something incredible.
He writes in Sha’ar HaGilgulim that Korach is a reincarnation of Kayin.
Just as Kayin couldn’t handle being surpassed by Hevel,
Korach couldn’t handle being surpassed by Aharon.
So this time, the ground doesn’t just swallow blood.
It opens its mouth, and swallows the man himself.
