1 Chronicles 6:22The sons of Kohath: Amminadab his son, Korah his son, Assir his son,
The setting
Jerusalem, ~450 BC. The chronicler records Korah's name without shame. The same family that rebelled against Moses now leads worship in the rebuilt temple. Redemption spans generations...
The emotion here: amazed at God's redemptive power through broken family lines
The original word
Qorach (קֹרַח) — baldness, but this rebel's descendants became worship leaders
Why it matters
Korah's sons survived his rebellion and founded a guild that wrote 11 Psalms
