Strong's Lexicon Qorach: Korah Original Word: קֹרַח Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root קָרַח (qarach), meaning "bald" or "ice." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Korah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as Korah is a proper name specific to the Hebrew Bible. Usage: The name "Korah" is primarily associated with a Levite who led a rebellion against Moses and Aaron during the Israelites' wilderness journey. The name may imply a sense of coldness or barrenness, possibly reflecting Korah's spiritual state or the outcome of his actions. Cultural and Historical Background: Korah was a descendant of Levi, specifically from the Kohathite branch, which was responsible for carrying the most sacred objects of the tabernacle. Despite his privileged position, Korah, along with Dathan, Abiram, and 250 community leaders, challenged the leadership of Moses and Aaron, questioning their authority and seeking a more democratic form of leadership. This rebellion is a significant event in Israel's history, illustrating the dangers of pride and discontentment with God's appointed leaders.
