Parshas Korach discusses the incident of Korach and his rebellion. Korach together with Dassan, Aviram and On ben Peles gathered a group of people together to rebel against Moshe and Aharon. They were jealous of people which held positions which they felt were unjustly allotted to them. As a punishment, a miracle occurred and the ground opened up and swallowed Korach, Dassan and Aviram with some of their family members.
