Contextual Overview

5 Reuben was the first-born son of Israel. Reuben's sons were the family of the Hanochites from Hanoch, the family of the Palluites from Pallu, 6 the family of the Hezronites from Hezron, and the family of the Carmites from Carmi. 7 These are the families of the Reubenites, and their number was 43,730. 8 Eliab was the son of Pallu. 9 The sons of Eliab were Nemuel, Dathan and Abiram. These are Dathan and Abiram who were chosen by the people and who joined with Korah to argue against Moses and Aaron. They argued against the Lord, 10 and the earth opened its mouth and took them together with Korah, when that group died. The fire destroyed 250 men, and taught others to be careful. 11 But the sons of Korah did not die. 12 The sons of Simeon by their families were the family of the Nemuelites from Nemuel, the family of the Jaminites from Jamin, the family of the Jachinites from Jachin, 13 the family of the Zerahites from Zerah, and the family of the Shaulites from Shaul. 14 These are the families of the Simeonites, 22,200 people.
