noun

Origin of Korah¹

From Late Latin Core, from Greek Koré, from Hebrew Qōraḥ, probably “bald”

A small kind, called Deo Korah, is hung up as a household god and worshipped.

No Korah, Dathan, or Abiram rose up to decline his rule and embarrass him in his new position.

Does he not stand there as if he were imploring fire from heaven to descend and destroy this troop of Korah?

It is difficult to discover from this whether Korah was the son or grandson of Esau, as he is described in both characters.

He advised Korah with his associates to appear with their censers full of incense to stand the trial.
