Legends and The Quran - Korah's Keys

Korah's Keys

The Qur'an describes Korah as exceedingly wealthy in the same way as the Talmud.

Qur'an

“ Korah was one of Moses' people, but he betrayed them and oppressed them. We gave him so many treasures that the keys would certainly weigh down a company of men possessed of great strength. ”

Talmud

“ And Rabbi Levi said: "The keys to Korah's treasure house was a load for 300 white mules and the keys and locks were leather." ”

Famous quotes containing the word keys:

    “And yet we constantly reclaim some part of that primal spontaneity through the youngest among us, not only through their sorrow and anger but simply through everyday discoveries, life unwrapped. To see a child touch the piano keys for the first time, to watch a small body slice through the surface of the water in a clean dive, is to experience the shock, not of the new, but of the familiar revisited as though it were strange and wonderful.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
