This name appears in the New Testament in Jude 1:11, where the rebellion of Korach is referenced as a cautionary example. Usage: The name Korach appears in the Hebrew Bible as a significant figure, primarily known for leading a rebellion against Moses and Aaron. Context: Korach is a prominent figure in the Torah, particularly in the Book of Numbers. He was a Levite, the son of Izhar, the grandson of Kohath, and a cousin of Moses and Aaron. Korach is most famously known for his role in the rebellion against the leadership of Moses and Aaron, as recorded in Numbers 16. Along with Dathan, Abiram, and 250 other community leaders, Korach challenged the authority of Moses and Aaron, questioning why they exalted themselves above the assembly of the LORD. This rebellion was seen as a direct challenge to God's chosen leadership. In response, God demonstrated His support for Moses and Aaron by causing the earth to open and swallow Korach, his followers, and their households, while fire consumed the 250 men offering incense. This event served as a powerful reminder of the consequences of rebellion against divine authority. Korach's story is often cited as a warning against pride and insubordination.
