Korach

Korach

“Rav Lachem” you say to me,

“Rav Lachem” you say?

“Rav LaCHEM”, Bnei Levi,

To speak to me this way!

Where were you at Har Sinai,

When I stayed the Maker’s hand?

Where were you when the Meraglim spoke,

That was your time to stand.

You open up your mouth with scorn,

You claim a right by birth,

Indeed, a mouth shall open up,

And trap you in the earth.

And on that note, Bnei Levi,

That’s the only ground you’ll merit,

A village here, a village there,

That’s the birthright you’ll inherit.

So be content, my kinsmen,

With your elevated status,

To bear the kelim of the mishkan,

And sing the Ein Sof’s praises.
