Abiram is a figure mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the Book of Numbers. He is known for being one of the leaders of a rebellion against Moses and Aaron during the Israelites' journey in the wilderness. This rebellion is often associated with Korah, who sought to challenge the leadership of Moses and the priesthood of Aaron. In the biblical narrative, Abiram, along with Dathan and Korah, questioned the authority of Moses and claimed that all the congregation was holy. As a result of their rebellion, they faced severe consequences, which included being swallowed by the earth as a divine punishment for their actions.
