Korah led a rebellion against Moses and Aaron (Numbers 16), which resulted in his death. Despite this, his descendants were later given roles of responsibility in the temple service, indicating God's grace and redemption. The lineage through Kore and Ebiasaph highlights the continuity of the Levitical duties passed down through generations. This lineage is also mentioned in <a href="/1_chronicles/6-22.htm">1 Chronicles 6:22-23</a>, emphasizing the importance of family heritage in temple service.<p><b>and his relatives from the Korahites</b><br>The Korahites were a subgroup of the Levites, specifically tasked with roles related to the tabernacle and later the temple. They were known for their musical contributions, as seen in the Psalms attributed to the sons of Korah (e.g., Psalms 42, 44-49). Their role in guarding the temple signifies a trusted position, reflecting their restored status and dedication to worship and service.<p><b>were assigned to guard the thresholds of the Tent</b><br>Guarding the thresholds of the Tent of Meeting was a critical duty, ensuring the sanctity and security of the sacred space. This role required vigilance and a deep sense of responsibility, as the Tent was where God's presence dwelled among His people. The assignment of this task to the Korahites underscores their reliability and the trust placed in them by the community.<p><b>just as their fathers had been assigned to guard the entrance to the dwelling of the LORD</b><br>This phrase connects the current duties of the Korahites to their ancestral responsibilities, highlighting the continuity of service across generations. The "dwelling of the LORD" refers to the tabernacle, and later the temple, as the central place of worship and divine presence. This continuity reflects the enduring nature of God's covenant with Israel and the importance of maintaining the sacred traditions and roles established by God. The reference to their fathers' assignments also serves as a reminder of the faithfulness required in serving God, a theme echoed throughout the Old Testament.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/s/shallum.htm">Shallum</a></b><br>A leader among the gatekeepers, specifically from the family of Korah.
