Korah

Meaning: baldness; ice; frost · Male · 4 cross references

This Korah entry refers to Esau's son by Aholibamah, not Korah the Levite rebel. He belongs to the genealogical formation of Edom through Esau's household. First appears in Gen 36:5.1

AI summary: This Korah matters because the cross references place him among the sons and chiefs descending from Esau through Aholibamah. His name helps define the internal branch structure of Edom and should not be confused with the much more famous Korah of the wilderness rebellion. The significance here is genealogical and political within a neighboring nation. Taken together, the material presents this Korah as an Edomite son whose line contributes to the structure of Esau's descendants.1
