That dispute</b> of <b>Hillel and Shammai,</b> who contested points of law, though their contests were never personal; they sought only to reveal authentic Jewish Law. Which instance shows a dispute <b>not undertaken for God's sake in heaven? Korach's quarrel, with his entire company,</b> against Moses, a quarrel rooted in the wish to rise against authority. יז kol ma|cha|lo|KET she|HI le|SHEM sha|MA|yim, so|FAH le|hit|ka|YEM, ve|she-ei|NAH le|SHEM sha|MA|yim, ein so|FAH le|hit|ka|YEM. ei|ZO hi ma|cha|lo|KET she|HI le|SHEM sha|MA|yim, zo ma|cha|lo|KET hi|LEL ve|sha|MAI. ve|she-ei|NAH le|SHEM sha|MA|yim, zo ma|cha|lo|KET KO|rach ve|CHOL a|da|TO. יז kol ma|ḥa|lo|QETH she|HIʾ le|SHEM sha|MA|yim, so|FAH le|hith|qay|YEM, ve|she|ʾe|NAH le|SHEM sha|MA|yim, ʾen so|FAH le|hith|qay|YEM. ʾe|ZO hiʾ ma|ḥa|lo|QETH she|HIʾ le|SHEM sha|MA|yim, zo ma|ḥa|lo|QETH hil|LEL ve|sham|MAIʾ. ve|she|ʾe|NAH le|SHEM sha|MA|yim, zo ma|ḥa|lo|QETH QO|raḥ ve|KHOL ʿa|dha|THO. יז kol ma|ḥa|lo|QET she|HI le|SHEM sha|MA|yim, so|FAH le|hit|qay|YEM, ve|she|e|NAH le|SHEM sha|MA|yim, en so|FAH le|hit|qay|YEM. e|ZO hi ma|ḥa|lo|QET she|HI le|SHEM sha|MA|yim, zo ma|ḥa|lo|QET hil|LEL ve|sham|MAI. ve|she|e|NAH le|SHEM sha|MA|yim, zo ma|ḥa|lo|QET QO|raḥ ve|KHOL ʿa|da|TO. יז kol ma|cha|loy|KES she|HI l'SHEIM sho|MA|yim, soy|FOH l'his|ka|YEIM, v'she-ei|NOH l'SHEIM sho|MA|yim, ein soy|FOH l'his|ka|YEIM. ei|ZOY hi ma|cha|loy|KES she|HI l'SHEIM sho|MA|yim, zoy ma|cha|loy|KES hi|LEIL v'sha|MAI. v'she-ei|NOH l'SHEIM sho|MA|yim, zoy ma|cha|loy|KES KOY|rach v'CHOL a|do|SOY.

Moreover, since he brought about their merits, the <b>merit of the multitude is ascribed to him, as it says</b> in the Torah: <b>Moses carried out the righteous</b> commandments <b>of God, and carried out His laws with</b> the Children of Israel. <b>Yeravam ben Nevat</b> illustrates the second type; he <b>sinned</b> himself <b>and led a multitude toward sin</b> by persuading them to worship idols.
