Psalms 106:16

AaronMoses
Envy and jealousy

14 They craved intensely in the wilderness and tested God in the desert.

15 So He granted their request, but sent a wasting disease upon them.

In the camp they envied Moses, as well as Aaron, the holy one of the LORD.

17 The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; it covered the assembly of Abiram.

18 Then fire blazed through their company; flames consumed the wicked.
