Numbers 26:5-11 (New International Version)
View In My Bible
5
The descendants of Reuben,1 the firstborn son of Israel, were: through Hanoch,2 the Hanochite clan; through Pallu,3 the Palluite clan;
6
through Hezron,4 the Hezronite clan; through Carmi,5 the Carmite clan.
7
These were the clans of Reuben; those numbered were 43,730.
8
The son of Pallu was Eliab,
9
and the sons of Eliab6 were Nemuel, Dathan and Abiram. The same Dathan and Abiram were the community7 officials who rebelled against Moses and Aaron and were among Korah's followers when they rebelled against the LORD.8
10
The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them9 along with Korah, whose followers died when the fire devoured the 250 men.10 And they served as a warning sign.11
11
The line of Korah,12 however, did not die out.13
