Descendants of Levi

The importance of the genealogy of Levi can be seen after the return of a remnant from the Babylonian exile in the land of Israel in the days of Ezra. Anyone who claims the priesthood, but whose name is not found in the genealogy, is excluded from the priesthood as unclean (Ezra 2:61-62).

Korah (1Chr 6:22) is the leader who revolted against Moses and was swallowed up by the earth (Num 16:32).
