**בְּאָזְנֵינוּ שָׁמַעְנוּ.** מִכָּאן אַתָּה לָמֵד שֶׁהָיוּ מְדַבְּרִים בְּנֵי קֹרַח בִּשְׁבִיל דּוֹרוֹת הַלָּלוּ הַבָּאִים אַחֲרֵיהֶם, שֶׁאִלּוּ בִּשְׁבִיל עַצְמָם לֹא הָיָה לָהֶם לוֹמַר **אֲבוֹתֵינוּ סִפְּרוּ לָנוּ**, שֶׁהֲרֵי הֵם עַצְמָם רָאוּ נִסֵּי הַמִּדְבָּר וְהַיָּם וְהַיַּרְדֵּן וּמִלְחֲמוֹת יְהוֹשֻׁעַ. כָּךְ מְפֹרָשׁ בְּאַגָּדַת תְּהִלִּים (מדרש תהלים מד:א):

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**with our ears we heard** From here you learn that the sons of Korah were speaking for the generations following them, for if it were for themselves, they should not say, “our fathers told us,” because they themselves witnessed the miracles of the desert, the Jordan, and Joshua’s war. In this manner, it is explained in the Aggadah of Psalms (Mid. Ps. 44:1).
