This is significant because the Levites were set apart for religious duties in Israel. The mention of Korah's sons highlights the continuation of his lineage despite Korah's rebellion against Moses and Aaron, as recorded in <a href="/numbers/16.htm">Numbers 16</a>. Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph are noted as his descendants, indicating that not all of Korah's family perished in the rebellion. This preservation of Korah's line is important for understanding the role of the Korahites in later biblical history, particularly in their contributions to temple worship and music, as seen in the Psalms attributed to the sons of Korah (e.g., Psalms 42, 44-49, 84, 85, 87, 88).<p><b>These were the clans of the Korahites.</b><br>The term "clans" refers to the extended family groups within the tribe of Levi. The Korahites became a significant group within the Levitical order, known for their role in temple service. Despite their ancestor's rebellion, the Korahites were entrusted with important responsibilities, including gatekeeping and musical duties in the temple, as described in <a href="/1_chronicles/9-19.htm">1 Chronicles 9:19</a> and <a href="/1_chronicles/26.htm">1 Chronicles 26:1</a>. This demonstrates God's grace and redemption, as the descendants of a rebellious figure were given a place of honor in worship. The Korahites' involvement in temple music also points to the importance of worship and praise in Israel's relationship with God, foreshadowing the ultimate worship led by Jesus Christ, who is the fulfillment of the temple and the perfect mediator between God and humanity.<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.
