The Levites were set apart for religious duties and service in the tabernacle. This lineage is significant as it establishes the priestly and service-oriented roles within Israel. Izhar's descendants, therefore, were part of the group responsible for the care and transportation of the tabernacle, highlighting their importance in the religious life of Israel.<p><b>were Korah</b><br>Korah is a notable figure in the Bible, primarily for his role in leading a rebellion against Moses and Aaron, as recorded in <a href="/numbers/16.htm">Numbers 16</a>. This rebellion was significant as it challenged the God-ordained leadership and priesthood, resulting in severe consequences. Korah's story serves as a warning against pride and rebellion against divine authority. His lineage, being from the tribe of Levi, underscores the gravity of his actions, as he was expected to uphold the sanctity of the priestly duties.<p><b>Nepheg</b><br>Nepheg is mentioned here as one of Izhar's sons, but little else is known about him from the biblical text. His inclusion in the genealogy serves to establish the family line and the broader context of the Levitical families. The genealogies in the Bible often serve to connect various narratives and highlight the continuity of God's covenant people.<p><b>and Zichri</b><br>Zichri, like Nepheg, is not extensively detailed in the biblical narrative. However, the name Zichri appears in various genealogies throughout the Old Testament, indicating it was a common name. The mention of Zichri in this context helps to complete the family line of Izhar, emphasizing the importance of lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative. The genealogical records serve to affirm the historical and covenantal continuity of the Israelite people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/i/izhar.htm">Izhar</a></b><br>A member of the Levite tribe, Izhar was the son of Kohath and the father of Korah, Nepheg, and Zichri. The Kohathites were responsible for the care of the sanctuary's most sacred objects.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/k/korah.htm">Korah</a></b><br>Known for leading a rebellion against Moses and Aaron, Korah's account is a significant event in the wilderness journey of the Israelites.

His inclusion in the genealogy highlights the importance of family lineage in Israelite culture.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/z/zichri.htm">Zichri</a></b><br>Like Nepheg, Zichri is mentioned as a son of Izhar. His name, meaning "memorable" or "renowned," reflects the significance of names in Hebrew culture.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_lineage_and_heritage.htm">The Importance of Lineage and Heritage</a></b><br>Understanding the genealogies in the Bible helps us appreciate the continuity of God's plan through generations.
