Commentary on Numbers 20:3
The people's accusation—'would God that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD'—expresses desire to have perished in Korah's judgment. This reveals envy of the dead, preferring judgment to trusting God through difficulty. Their complaint conflates God's judgment with random misfortune, showing distorted perspective on divine providence and human mortality.
