Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Qorchi" as it is a specific Hebrew family designation. However, the Greek term "Κορέ" (Kore) in the New Testament (Strong's Greek 2879) refers to Korah, the ancestor of the Korhites.

Usage: The term "Qorchi" refers to a descendant or member of the family of Korah. In the context of the Bible, it is used to identify those who are part of the Levitical family line descending from Korah, a significant figure known for his rebellion against Moses and Aaron as recorded in the Book of Numbers.

Cultural and Historical Background: Korah was a Levite who led a rebellion against Moses during the Israelites' wilderness journey. Despite his rebellion, his descendants, known as the Korahites or Korhites, were later integrated into the Levitical duties, particularly in the service of the tabernacle and temple worship. The Korahites became known for their role as gatekeepers and musicians, contributing to the worship practices of ancient Israel.
