Peleth

Male · 1 cross reference

AI summary: This Peleth matters because his single cross reference supports the identity of one of the men drawn into Korah's rebellion. Even a brief paternal notice helps anchor that act of defiance in a remembered household. Taken together, the material presents this Peleth as a familial source in the wilderness rebellion.1
