Parashat Korach פָּרָשַׁת קוֹרַח Numbers 16:1-18:32, is the fifth Torah portion in Numbers, the the 4th Book of the five Books of the Bible and the 38th weekly Torah portion in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading which begins on Rosh Ha Shana, the Jewish New Year.
The name of the Parasha, "Korach," refers to Korach, head of the rebellion against Moses and Aaron.
In Parashat Korach, Korach, who is a Levi, is accompanied by Moses’ inveterate foes, Dathan and Abiram and 250 distinguished members of the community, offer incense to prove their worthiness for the priesthood. G-d, in his anger, opens the earth and swallows Korach and his followers.

G‑d also commands a donation from each crop of grain, wine and oil, as well as all firstborn sheep and cattle, and other specified gifts, be given to the Kohanim (priests).
