And the sons of Korah; Assir

on Exodus 6:24-25

Korah's sons are named here, and Numbers 26:11 says the children of Korah did not die when the earth opened on their father. Eleven psalms carry their name in the title, at Psalms 42, 44 to 49, 84, 85, 87 and 88, so the house that rebelled against the priesthood ends up leading the singing. Phinehas, named at the close of verse 25, is the grandson of Aaron who acts at Numbers 25:7 to 13 and receives the covenant of an everlasting priesthood.
