Exodus 6:24The sons of Korah: Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph; these are the families of the Korahites.
The setting
Egypt, ~1500 BC. Moses records the Levitical clans, not knowing that Korah's descendants will both rebel against leadership and write beautiful psalms. Modern-day Nile Delta, Egypt.
The emotion here: unknowing solemnity while recording names that will hold both tragedy and triumph
The original word
mishpəḥōṯ (מִשְׁפְּחֹת) — families or clans, emphasizing extended kinship groups
Why it matters
Despite Korah's later rebellion, his descendants became temple musicians who wrote Psalms 42-49
