Our Sedra deals with the infamous rebellion of Korach, Datan, Aviram & various other malcontents against Korach’s illustrious cousins Moshe & Ahron. Korach contends that Moshe & Ahron have grabbed too much glory & power for themselves. When reconciliation fails, Moshe sets up a test: Ahron & the rebels are to offer ketoret (incense) to G-d; only one will have their offering accepted, the others will die an unusual death. Hashem then causes the earth to open & swallowing Korach, while the other rebels
are consumed by a flame.

Moshe prevents a plague from breaking out among the general populace, many of whom sympathized with Korach. Ahron’s staff miraculously blooms into almond blossoms, & his role as Kohen Gadol is reaffirmed.

The Torah details the various gifts given to the Kohanim, & the obligation to support the Leviim with ma’aser, a tenth of the crops of the Land.

Ten Commandment Comparison

Many have attempted to solve the question, what is THE difference which can find the common denominator between all 31 differences between the 2 versions of the Ten Commandment? This innovative article suggests that our sages already answered this with one sentence in a well-known Midrash, just most never noticed that seemingly innocent sentence. It deals with the basic difference between the masculine side of the Torah and the feminine.
