wolfbiblemoonMore petulant overreaction from God against people who dare question him.
* Some people are understandably questioning Moses' dominion over them and why he has a special place above them when all the people are God's people. God is so pissed by this dissension that the ground swallows a load of them up, he burns another 250 of them and then when other people start complaining that he'd killed so many he kills 14,700 people with a plague. Ruling with fear is definitely the best way to keep control of your people, they won't love you or respect you but they'll be obedient to your every whim.
