And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD will shew who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him.
And Moses spoke to Korah and all his followers, saying, 'Tomorrow the LORD will show who belongs to Him and who is holy. He will bring the person He has chosen close to Himself.'
Moses is telling the rebels that God will prove the next day who He has truly chosen to serve Him as priests.
📚 Historical Context
This occurs during Korah's rebellion against Moses and Aaron's leadership in the wilderness. Korah, a Levite, along with 250 prominent Israelites, challenged Moses and Aaron's authority, claiming that all the congregation was holy and questioning why Moses and Aaron elevated themselves above the people. Moses proposed this test to let God demonstrate whom He had actually chosen for priestly service.
