⁵Reuben was the firstborn of Israel. These were the descendants of Reuben: ⁶the Hezronite clan from Hezron, ⁷These were the clans of Reuben, and their registration numbered 43,730. ⁸Now the son of Pallu was Eliab, ⁹and the sons of Eliab were Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. ¹⁰It was Dathan and Abiram, chosen by the congregation, who rebelled against Moses and Aaron with the followers of Korah who rebelled against the LORD. And the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them along with Korah, whose followers died when the fire consumed 250 men. They serve as a warning sign. ¹¹However, the line of Korah did not die out.
