8 And the son of Pallu was Eliab.

9 The sons of Eliab were Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. These are the Dathan and Abiram, ^arepresentatives of the congregation, who contended against Moses and Aaron in the company of Korah, when they contended against the Lord;

10 ^aand the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up together with Korah when that company died, when the fire devoured two hundred and fifty men; ^band they became a sign.

11 Nevertheless ^athe children of Korah did not die.

12 The sons of Simeon according to their families were: of¹ Nemuel, the family of the Nemuelites; of Jamin, the family of the Jaminites; of Jachin, the family of the Jachinites;

13 of¹ Zerah, the family of the Zarhites; of Shaul, the family of the Shaulites.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Numbers 26:9

Numbers 26:11 >>

With Korah - According to this translation Korah was not consumed by fire with his two hundred and fifty men, but swallowed up by the earth. But others rather think he was devoured by the fire, and render these words, and the things of Korah, or belonging to Korah, namely, his tent and goods, and family, children excepted, as here follows. A sign - God made them a monument or example, to warn others not to rebel against God, or magistracy, nor to usurp the priestly office.
