Commentary

4 notes on this verse
And the sons of Uzziel, Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Zichri. The two first of these were the men that were ordered by Moses to carry out of the camp the two sons of Aaron, who were killed by lightning for offering strange fire, Lev 10:4.

This site's exposition

And the sons of Izhar; Korah

on Exodus 6:21-22

Korah is entered in the family record of Moses and Aaron with no comment attached, and Numbers 16 tells what he did with the standing this line gave him. Adam Clarke reads the inclusion as a mark of the impartiality of the man writing. Mishael and Elzaphan, named in the next verse, are the two who carry the bodies of Nadab and Abihu out of the camp at Leviticus 10:4.
