Korah, a Levite, led a revolt against Moses and Aaron, challenging their leadership. As a result, Korah and his followers were swallowed by the earth as a divine judgment (Numbers 16). This phrase highlights a significant exception to the complete destruction of Korah's line.<br><br>"The line of Korah" refers to the descendants of Korah, who were spared despite the rebellion. This is significant because it demonstrates God's mercy and the possibility of redemption and restoration. The descendants of Korah went on to become prominent in Israel's history, particularly in the service of the temple. They are credited with several Psalms (e.g., Psalms 42, 44-49, 84-85, 87-88), which are rich in themes of worship and devotion to God.<br><br>"Did not die out" emphasizes the survival and continuation of Korah's lineage. This survival is a testament to God's grace and the idea that one's past does not have to determine one's future. The descendants of Korah became known for their faithfulness and contributions to Israel's worship practices. This phrase also serves as a reminder of the enduring nature of God's promises and the hope of redemption for future generations.<br><br>In a broader biblical context, the sparing of Korah's descendants can be seen as a type of Christ's redemptive work, where mercy triumphs over judgment. It underscores the theme of grace that runs throughout Scripture, where God provides opportunities for repentance and restoration.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/k/korah.htm">Korah</a></b><br>A Levite who led a rebellion against Moses and Aaron, challenging their leadership and the priesthood.
