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 continuity reflects the enduring nature of God's covenant with Israel and the importance of maintaining the sacred traditions and roles established by God.
