Комментарий к Бамидбар 16:11
לָכֵ֗ן אַתָּה֙ וְכָל־עֲדָ֣תְךָ֔ הַנֹּעָדִ֖ים עַל־יְהוָ֑ה וְאַהֲרֹ֣ן מַה־ה֔וּא כִּ֥י תלונו [תַלִּ֖ינוּ] עָלָֽיו׃
Посему ты и все общество твое собрались против Господа—; а что касается Аарона, что он, что вы бормотали против него?'
Rashi on Numbers
לכן means because of this — because of all this that I have mentioned, אתה וכל עדתך הנועדים BOTH YOU AND ALL YOUR CONGREGATION WHO ARE GATHERED with you, על ה׳ are AGAINST THE LORD, for it is by His commission that I am acting in giving the Priesthood to Aaron; and this rebellion is therefore not against “us” (Midrash Tanchuma, Korach 6).

Ramban on Numbers
THEREFORE THOU AND ALL THY COMPANY. “Therefore, because of this [i.e., because of what I have previously said: Hear now, ye sons of Levi: is it but a small thing etc.] thou and all thy company that are gathered together [are] against the Eternal, for I acted as His agent in giving the priesthood to Aaron, and this controversy is [therefore] not directed against us.” This is Rashi’s language. And if so, the verse is saying: “thou and all thy company — it is ye that are gathered together against G-d, and not against Aaron.” And Rabbi Abraham ibn Ezra commented that the letter hei in the word hano’adim (‘that’ are gathered together) is redundant [thus the verse means: “thou and all thy company ‘are gathered together not against us but against G-d”]. It is possible that the verse is stating: “Therefore thou and all thy company that are gathered together against G-d — for it is not against Aaron [that you are gathered together] — be ye before G-d with Aaron tomorrow,”80Verse 16. and the verse is elliptic with respect to the conditions that Moses mentioned. The purport of the verses is thus as follows: At first he [Moses] spoke unto Korach and unto all his company, saying: ‘In the morning the Eternal will make known etc.,’81Verses 5-7. Ramban is thus stating that all three verses (5-7) were not equally addressed by Moses to the same group. The first two verses (5-6) and first half of Verse 7 were addressed to Korach and all his company, while the concluding part of that verse [ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi] Moses spoke only to Korach. This is made necessary because, as Ramban has stated above, among the assembled were people from all tribes. and afterwards he continued speaking to Korach, saying: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi,49Further, Verse 7. and told Korach alone, Hear now, ye sons of Levi.82Verse 8. Therefore he repeated himself saying, thou and all thy company that are gathered together against G-d,83In Verse 11 before us. meaning that the punishment would not be directed against Korach alone, but against his whole company, for they are all gathered together against G-d.

לכן, אתה וכל עדתך הנועדים, know that I leave the matter of judging who is right entirely up to the Lord. Let Him decide who has offended Him. I do not take any countermeasures against you at all.
