Chasidut sur Les Nombres 16:13
הַמְעַ֗ט כִּ֤י הֶֽעֱלִיתָ֙נוּ֙ מֵאֶ֨רֶץ זָבַ֤ת חָלָב֙ וּדְבַ֔שׁ לַהֲמִיתֵ֖נוּ בַּמִּדְבָּ֑ר כִּֽי־תִשְׂתָּרֵ֥ר עָלֵ֖ינוּ גַּם־הִשְׂתָּרֵֽר׃
Est-ce peu que tu nous aies fait sortir d’un pays ruisselant de lait et de miel, pour nous faire mourir dans ce désert, sans prétendre encore t’ériger en maître sur nous!
Kedushat Levi
The reason why Datan and Aviram added a complaint against Moses that Korach had not mentioned, when they said: “you also did not bring us to a land of milk and honey,” (Numbers 16,13) was that Korach was a member of the tribe of Levi that had not been condemned to die in the desert. Korach therefore could not have leveled this accusation at Moses. [According to a view expressed in Baba batra 121. Ed.]
