The sons of Korah
The phrase "The sons of Korah" refers to the descendants of Korah, a significant figure in the Levitical lineage. Korah was a Levite who led a rebellion against Moses and Aaron, as detailed in Numbers 16. Despite Korah's rebellion and subsequent punishment, his descendants were spared and became prominent in Israel's religious life. This highlights God's mercy and the possibility of redemption and restoration, even after grave sin. The sons of Korah are later known for their contributions to the Psalms, indicating a legacy of worship and devotion to God.

were Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph
The names "Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph" are significant as they represent the continuation of Korah's lineage. "Assir" means "captive" or "prisoner," possibly reflecting the consequences of Korah's rebellion. "Elkanah" means "God has possessed" or "God has created," suggesting a divine claim or creation, which may indicate a turning back to God. "Abiasaph" means "my father has gathered," implying a sense of community and belonging within the family of God. These names collectively suggest a narrative of redemption, where despite past failures, there is a reclaiming and gathering by God.

These were the clans of the Korahites
The phrase "These were the clans of the Korahites" indicates the establishment of distinct family groups or clans within the tribe of Levi. The Korahites became an important part of the Levitical priesthood, serving in various capacities in the tabernacle and later the temple. This underscores the theme of God's grace and the importance of faithfulness in service. Despite their ancestor's rebellion, the Korahites were entrusted with significant roles in worship, illustrating that God can transform a legacy of rebellion into one of service and praise. This transformation is a powerful testament to the redemptive work of God in the lives of His people.

(24) The sons of Korah did not partake in his sin, and therefore "died not" (Numbers 26:11), but became the heads of important families.

Verse 24. - The sons of Korah. All Korah's sons were not cut off with him (Numbers 26:11). Three at least survived, and became the heads of "families of the Korhites."
