Study note
Setting — The passage operates as a genealogical entry within a historical record, listing descendants to document tribal and priestly ancestry for the community.
The words — בֶּן (ben) translates literally as "son of," marking direct paternal succession, and קֹרַח (Korah) identifies the specific ancestor anchoring this segment of the list.
The thread — This name and lineage appear in Exodus 6:21 and Numbers 16:1, where Korah is listed as a son of Izhar and son of Kohath, and in Numbers 26:10, which records his rebellion and the earth swallowing him.
Why it lands — The text requires the reader to acknowledge unbroken ancestral lines and establish tribal identity, functioning as a structural record rather than a narrative event.
Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
