The sons of Izhar
The phrase "The sons of Izhar" introduces us to the lineage of Izhar, who was a son of Kohath, one of the sons of Levi. The Levites were set apart for religious duties, and Kohath's descendants, in particular, were responsible for the care of the sanctuary. The Hebrew root for "Izhar" (יִצְהָר) means "shining" or "oil," which can symbolize anointing and the presence of the Holy Spirit. This lineage is significant as it sets the stage for understanding the roles and responsibilities within the Levitical priesthood, emphasizing the importance of family heritage in God's plan.

were Korah
"Korah" is a pivotal figure in the narrative of the Israelites. His name in Hebrew (קֹרַח) means "baldness" or "ice," which might metaphorically suggest a lack of spiritual warmth or covering. Korah is most famously known for leading a rebellion against Moses and Aaron, as detailed in Numbers 16. This rebellion highlights the dangers of pride and discontentment with God's appointed leadership. Korah's account serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of challenging divine authority and the importance of humility and obedience.

Nepheg
"Nepheg" is a less prominent figure, and his name in Hebrew (נֶפֶג) is somewhat obscure, possibly meaning "sprout" or "shoot." This could symbolize new growth or potential within the family line. Although not much is known about Nepheg, his inclusion in the genealogy underscores the importance of every member within the community of Israel. Each person, regardless of their prominence in the biblical narrative, plays a role in the unfolding of God's redemptive history.

and Zichri
"Zichri" is another descendant of Izhar, and his name in Hebrew (זִכְרִי) means "memorable" or "remembrance." This name suggests the importance of being remembered by God and others, perhaps for faithfulness or notable deeds. In the broader biblical context, remembrance is a key theme, as God often calls His people to remember His works and commandments. Zichri's name serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy that individuals can leave through their faith and actions.

Verse 21. - The sons of Izhar. Korah is mentioned as a "son (descendant) of Izhar" in Numbers 16:1 and 1 Chronicles 6:38. The other "sons" are not elsewhere mentioned. Zithri in this verse should be Zichri.
