In Genesis 4:10 we have the following verse:
ויאמר מה עשית קול דמי אחיך צעקים אלי מן האדמה
And he said: "What have you done? The voice of Dummy your brother is crying out to me from the ground."
From this verse we can derive two things about Dummy:
- He is your brother.
- He is trapped in the ground.
Who do we know that was trapped in the ground?
Korach!
But if Dummy is Korach, we must ask in what sense is he "your brother"?
Well what else do we know about "your brother"?
In Genesis 37:13 we find out that "your brother" is a shepherd:
הלא אחיך רעים בשכם
Is not your brother shepherding in Shechem?
And what do we know about a shepherd? Well the Mishnah in Bava Kamma 6:1 says:
נכנס הרואה תחתיו
The shepherd replaces him.
What was Korach's agenda? To replace Moshe.
Thus, Dummy = your brother = shepherd = Korach.
Now you might ask why some of these verses appear to use the plural form (e.g. צעקים, רעים) if they are talking about one person, namely Dummy. The answer to that lies in a Talmudic statement in Zevachim 43b:
ונאמרו קדשים בלשון רבים
And the holy ones are said in plural form.
And what was Korach's mantra? We find it in Numbers 16:3:
כל העדה כלם קדשים
The entire congregation is all holy ones.
So of course Korach (Dummy) would be referred to in the plural form!
slow clap Well done.
