Korah

The sons of Izhar were Korah, Nepheg, and Zichri.

The sons of Korah were Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph. These were the clans of the Korahites.

Now Korah son of Izhar, the son of Kohath son of Levi, along with some Reubenites—Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth—conducted

Then he said to Korah and all his followers, “Tomorrow morning the LORD will reveal who belongs to Him and who is holy, and He will bring that person near to Himself. The one He chooses, He will bring near to Himself.

You, Korah, and all your followers are to do as follows: Take censers,

Moses also said to Korah, “Now listen, you sons of Levi!

And Moses said to Korah, “You and all your followers are to appear before the LORD tomorrow—you and they and Aaron.

When Korah had gathered his whole assembly against them at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the glory of the LORD appeared to the whole congregation.

“Tell the congregation to move away from the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”

So they moved away from the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Meanwhile, Dathan and Abiram had come out and stood at the entrances to their tents with their wives and children and infants.

and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and their households—all Korah’s men and all their possessions.

just as the LORD commanded him through Moses. This was to be a reminder to the Israelites that no outsider who is not a descendant of Aaron should approach to offer incense before the LORD, lest he become like Korah and his followers.

But those who died from the plague numbered 14,700, in addition to those who had died on account of Korah.

and the sons of Eliab were Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. It was Dathan and Abiram, chosen by the congregation, who fought against Moses and Aaron with the followers of Korah who rebelled against the LORD.

And the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them along with Korah, whose followers died when the fire consumed 250 men. They serve as a warning sign.

However, the line of Korah did not die out.

“Our father died in the wilderness, but he was not among the followers of Korah who gathered together against the LORD. Instead, he died because of his own sin, and he had no sons.

The descendants of Kohath:

the son of Tahath, the son of Assir, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah,

Shallum son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his relatives from the Korahites were assigned to guard the thresholds of the Tent, just as their fathers had been assigned to guard the entrance to the dwelling of the LORD.

As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul longs after You, O God.

We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us the work You did in their days, in the days of old.

My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses to the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble.

Clap your hands, all you peoples; shout unto God with a voice of triumph.
