Their holy writings have become a record existing for generations. They were also faithful to tell people that they were the sons of Korah, the one who rebelled against God.
This shows us that all the psalms were written based upon the infinite grace of God. The sons of Korah were the descendants, the sons, of that great sinner and rebel, Korah, yet they became holy people writing psalms to praise God.
Today we are like the sons of Korah. In a sense, we are still poor sinners and rebels, yet we poor sinners can be those who are speakers of the holy Word! God could take care of His own status, so to speak, and therefore needed only the usual forms of retribution; but, when His authority was challenged indirectly and more subtly by undermining His human representatives, the punishment took on unusual and memorable form.
Characteristically of Numbers, this story is followed in chapters 17 and 18 by legislation that sets forth once and for all what the priestly and levitical duties are to be. Over the years the Korah story assumed great importance. Rabbis of mishnaic and talmudic times viewed themselves as direct spiritual descendants of Moses, and they interpreted the punishment of Korah as a warning to their own contemporaries who challenged the divine sanctity of rabbinic teaching.
It is in this light that we must see the assertion of Rabbi Akiba that Korah not only was punished in the desert but excluded from divine grace for all time to come Sanhedrin b. This is also the meaning of the rabbinic tradition that Korah argued with Moses about ritual fringes and other halakhic matters and attacked the sense and logic of the Torah, which is to say he battled not merely Moses but the God of Moses see Numbers Rabbah God stood behind His chosen leader then, and in the centuries to come He would stand behind the leaders who followed Moses and taught in His name.
Superficially, his act may appear to be the usual attempt by someone out of power to displace the incumbent rulers. Or, going further though this is not expressed : If we are all holy, what need is there for someone like Moses to instruct us, or why is there need for laws to make us holy?
Since the people are holy, commandments from without are not necessary Buber, Moses. He raised them to high position and He will answer the rebels, as indeed He does. But the question still seeks its answer. Ultimately, as Buber emphasizes, the question Korah asked poses an insoluble contradiction: for holiness can never be fully realized within history, yet the people are to act as if it can be or even as if it has been realized.
Wow thanks Thanks I have just read psalms and with your insight I was humbled by them during a difficult period in my life psalm gave me thecourage to go on. I was listening to the song on Psalm 34 by the Brooklyn Tabernacle choir and looked up the Psalm on biblegateway.

It began with the general question "Who were the writers of the Book of Psalms? I then remembered some were written by the Sons of Korah and the name Korah reminded me of someone in a famous story in the Old Testament. So I decided to look things up. From wiki. Seventy-three bear David's name. Asaph is listed on twelve. Some are attributed to Solomon. Moses Ethan and Heman are thought to have written one each.
The remainder are unknown in authorship. The Davidic psalms bear other hallmarks of David.
