“Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men:”
Korah son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and certain Reubenites — Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth — became insolent — the genealogical precision (tracing Korah's descent through Kohath to Levi) establishes his standing within the priestly-Levitical structure; the Reubenites (Dathan, Abiram, On) represent the secular leadership challenge distinct from Korah's priestly claim.
