This occurs during the wilderness wanderings when Korah (a Levite) along with Dathan and Abiram (from the tribe of Reuben) led a rebellion against Moses' and Aaron's God-given authority. They challenged Moses' leadership and Aaron's priesthood, claiming that all the people were equally holy. God was about to demonstrate His judgment by causing the earth to swallow up the rebels and their families.
