Before destruction a man's heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor.
#proverbs 18:12
Moses was humble and he is honored by all decent people more than 3000 years later. Korach was proud and he is reviled by all decent people.
With power comes #pride and with pride comes weakness. Stay humble to stay strong.
Shabbat Shalom Torah Family.

An evildoer listens to wicked lips, and a liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.
Proverbs 17:4 ESV
You can tell a lot about a person by whom he hears. Does he listen to astrologers, prosperity gospel teachers, or Hollywood directors? Don't listen to him or trust him. Does he listen to thoughtful expositors, knowledgeable teachers, or accomplished scholars? Then he might be worth listening to as well.
Instead of an inheritance in the land, the Kohanim (Levitical priests) are given the right to serve in the Temple and receive portions of the offerings (Numbers 18:20) and the Levites are given a tithe of the produce of Israel (Numbers 18:21,24).
This principle doesn't translate directly outside of the land of Israel (nor even in the land today) because nobody follows God's rules for dividing and inheriting land. Nobody has a right to claim any of those tithes or offerings today, but I think it's still important to find a way to keep the spirit of these laws however we can.
