Korah was a Levite who led a rebellion against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness (Num.16). He was the son of Izhar, from the Kohathite clan (Exo.6.21,24). Korah, along with Dathan, Abiram, and 250 well-known community leaders, accused Moses and Aaron of exalting themselves above the congregation (Num.16.1-3). When Korah's followers presented incense offerings, the Lord destroyed them with fire (Num.16.35). The earth opened and swallowed Korah, Dathan, Abiram, and their households (Num.16.31-33). Korah's sons, however, did not die (Num.26.11). The bronze censers of the rebels were made into a covering for the altar, as a reminder not to rebel against the Lord (Num.16.38-40). Korah's descendants became temple musicians (1Ch.6.22,37; Psa.42-49; 84-88) and gatekeepers (1Ch.9.19; 26.1,19). Some were mighty warriors who joined David at Ziklag (1Ch.12.6), and others settled in Jerusalem after the exile (1Ch.9.31). The Korahites also sang at the reign of Jehoshaphat (2Ch.20.19) and were listed among the Levite clans (Num.26.58).
