against.
what is Aaron.
 He aimed at being a priest. His sin was the sin of rebellion against God’s high priest. This was “the gainsaying of Core.” (Numbers 16 by C.H. Mackintosh)
 It was not they {Moses and Aaron} who had aimed at the position or assumed the work; they were ordained of God. This ought to have settled the question; and it would have settled it for all save restless, self-occupied rebels, who sought to undermine the true servants of God in order to exalt themselves. This is always the way with the promoters of sedition or disaffection. Their real object is to make themselves somebody. They talk loudly and very plausibly about the common rights and privileges of God’s people; but, in reality, they themselves are aiming at a position for which they are in no way qualified; and at privileges to which they have no right. (Numbers 16 by C.H. Mackintosh)
