Korah’s Rebellion

1 Now ⁱKorah the son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi, and ^jDathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, and On the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men.

11 Woe to them! For they walked in ^zthe way of Cain and abandoned themselves for the sake of gain ^ato Balaam’s error and ^bperished in Korah’s rebellion.

21 ^cThe sons of Izhar: Korah, Nepheg, and Zichri.

18 The ^zsons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, the years of the life of Kohath being 133 years.

3 “Our father ^ydied in the wilderness. He was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against the Lord ^zin the company of Korah, but ^adied for his own sin. And he had no sons.

9 The sons of Eliab: Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. These are the Dathan and Abiram, ^fchosen from the congregation, who contended against Moses and Aaron in the company of Korah, when they contended against the Lord 10 and ^gthe earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up together with Korah, when that company died, when the fire devoured 250 men, and ^hthey became a warning.

6 and ^mwhat he did to Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, son of Reuben, how the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households, their tents, and every living thing that followed them, in the midst of all Israel.

Love and Serve the Lord

1 ^e“You shall therefore love the Lord your God and ^fkeep his charge, his statutes, his rules, and his commandments always.

Descendants of Reuben

1 The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (^cfor he was the firstborn, but because ^dhe defiled his father’s couch, ^ehis birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel, so that he could not be enrolled as the oldest son; 2 ^fthough Judah became strong among his brothers and a ^gchief came from him, yet the birthright belonged to Joseph),
