5-11. he spake unto Korah and unto all his company--They were first
addressed, not only because they were a party headed by his own cousin
and Moses might hope to have more influence in that quarter, but
because they were stationed near the tabernacle; and especially because
an expostulation was the more weighty coming from him who was a Levite
himself, and who was excluded along with his family from the
priesthood. But to bring the matter to an issue, he proposed a test
which would afford a decisive evidence of the divine appointment.
Even to-morrow--literally, "in the morning," the usual time of meeting
in the East for the settlement of public affairs.
the Lord will show who are his, . . . even him whom he hath chosen will
he cause to come near unto him--that is, will bear attestation to his
ministry by some visible or miraculous token of His approval.
