The prophetic selection for Korah is taken from the Book of First Samuel. Samuel shares his farewell speech with the people of Israel.

Samuel shares that he has upheld his role with dignity. He has never defrauded the nation as a prophet and teacher. The prophet reviews the relationship between G-d and Israel. He recalls the judges - Yerubaal, Bedan, and Yiftach. Samuel shares the transformation of Israel into a monarchy and the anointing of Saul as king. Samuel admonishes the nation to be faithful to their covenant with G-d.
