However
This word serves as a pivotal conjunction, indicating a contrast or exception to what has been previously stated. In the context of Numbers 26, the chapter recounts the census of the Israelites and the consequences of past rebellions, particularly the rebellion led by Korah. The use of "however" introduces a significant deviation from the expected outcome, highlighting God's mercy and the preservation of a remnant. This serves as a reminder of God's grace and the possibility of redemption even amidst judgment.

the sons of Korah
Korah was a Levite who led a rebellion against Moses and Aaron, challenging their leadership and, by extension, God's ordained order (Numbers 16). The phrase "the sons of Korah" refers to his descendants, who, despite their ancestor's rebellion, were spared from the judgment that befell Korah and his followers. Historically, the sons of Korah became known for their role in temple worship, contributing to the Psalms (e.g., Psalms 42-49, 84-85, 87-88). This highlights the transformative power of God's grace, as the descendants of a rebel became worship leaders, illustrating the theme of redemption and the potential for a new legacy.

did not die
This phrase underscores the miraculous nature of their survival. In the Hebrew context, the verb used here conveys not just the absence of death but the active preservation of life. Theologically, this serves as a testament to God's sovereignty and mercy. While Korah and his immediate followers faced divine judgment, his sons were spared, symbolizing hope and the possibility of restoration. This preservation allowed them to contribute significantly to Israel's spiritual heritage, reminding believers that God's plans can transcend human failure and rebellion. The survival of the sons of Korah is a powerful narrative of grace, emphasizing that one's past does not dictate their future in God's redemptive plan.

(11) Notwithstanding the children of Korah died not.--See Notes on Numbers 16:27; Numbers 16:32.

Verse 11. - The children of Korah died not. The confused nature of the narrative in chapter 16 is well exemplified by this statement; we should certainly have supposed from Numbers 16:32 that Korah's sons had perished with him, if we were not here told to the contrary. The sons of Korah are frequently mentioned among the Levites, and Samuel himself would seem to have been of them (see on 1 Chronicles 6:22, 28, 33-38, and titles to Psalm 42, 88, etc.); it is, however, slightly doubtful whether the Kohathite Korah of 1 Chronicles 6:22, the ancestor of Samuel, is the same as the Izharite Korah, the ancestor of Heman, in 1 Chronicles 6:38.
