Korah

Korah appears here embedded in the Kohathite genealogy — the rebel whose earth-swallowing judgment ended his own story, yet whose family line continued to serve God faithfully afterward.

Korah is identified as the ancestor of the returning gatekeeper families — the same man whose rebellion against Moses ended in judgment, yet whose family line survived and now holds positions of sacred trust.

Korah is invoked here as a cautionary example — his allies Dathan and Abiram were swallowed alive by the earth, an event these listeners personally witnessed and that Moses cites as proof of God's power.
