Summary

This verse mentions the family of Korah, who rebelled against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. Despite their rebellion and subsequent punishment by God, some of Korah's descendants survived and continued to live among the Israelites. This serves as a reminder of the consequences of disobedience and the importance of remaining faithful to God's commands, as well as the mercy and grace that can still be extended to future generations despite the sins of their ancestors.
