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.
