Even post  Korach

The people complain to G-d

A plague kills thousands

Have to ask  G-d, once again

Not to kill them all

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?
