PORTION COMMENTARY

THE TWO WIVES

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:

A proverb says, "Woe to the wicked, and woe to his neighbor." This applies to Dathan and Abiram, the neighbors of Korah. Dathan and Abiram were neighbors with a contentious man. That is why they were punished with him and were swept from the world. (Numbers Rabbah 17:5)

COMMENTARY: Contention against leadership is contagious, and contentious people work hard to convince their companions to join their cause.
