Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from קֹרַח (Qorach), which is Strong's Hebrew Number 7141.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the term "Korchite," as it is a specific Hebrew designation for a group within the Levitical tribe. However, the Greek Septuagint may use transliterations or equivalent terms to refer to the descendants of Korah in the context of their roles and duties. Usage: The term "Korchite" is used to denote individuals who are descendants of Korah, a Levite who led a rebellion against Moses and Aaron. The Korchites are mentioned in the context of their duties and roles within the Levitical service. Context: The Korchites were a subgroup of the Kohathites, who were one of the major divisions of the Levites. The Kohathites were responsible for the care of the sanctuary's most sacred objects. Despite the infamous rebellion led by their ancestor Korah, the descendants of Korah, known as the Korchites, continued to serve in the tabernacle and later in the temple. They are noted for their role as gatekeepers and singers in the temple service. The Psalms attributed to the "sons of Korah" reflect their significant contribution to the worship practices of Israel. The Korchites are mentioned in several passages, including 1 Chronicles 9:19, which states, "Shallum son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his relatives from his family, the Korahites, were responsible for guarding the thresholds of the tent, just as their fathers had been responsible for guarding the entrance to the dwelling of the LORD."
