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.

4 And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers. 5 And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.
