Even post  Korach

A plague kills thousands

Have to ask  G-d, once again
Not to kill them all

Sh’lach L’cha

A disturbing tale:
On Shabbat, the people see
Man gathering sticks


G-d informs Moses
That the whole community
Should stone him to death


And so it was done
Just as G-d had commanded
A fair punishment?

All fit for service
