Korach was drawn into the rebellion out of his jealousy towards his cousin Elizaphan the son of Uzziel who had been appointed by Moshe as the Nasi over the family of Kahas by the order of Hashem. Kehus had four sons; Amram who was the first had his two sons raised to greatness, Moshe being the king and Aharon being the Kohen Gadol. Yitzhar was the second son and it was only fitting that his son Korach receive the position of Nassi. Instead this position was given to Elizaphan the son of Uzziel the youngest son of Kahas.<ref name="Rashi Bamidbar 16:1"/> | Korach was drawn into the rebellion out of his jealousy towards his cousin Elizaphan the son of Uzziel who had been appointed by Moshe as the Nasi over the family of Kahas by the order of Hashem.

− | + | Korach dressed his followers in wool Talasim entirely dyed with blue Techales. They can and stood before Moshe and asked him if a Talis made entirely from Techales dyed wool, requires Tziztzis - fringes or is exempt. When Moshe replied that it was required they began mocking him how a Talis created of other colors is becomes permitted through one string of Techalis, yet a Tallis that is created entirely from Techalis, can not exempt itself.<ref name="Rashi Bamidbar 16:1"/> | |
