Context of Numbers 26:11
9and Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram were the sons of Eliab. (It was Dathan and Abiram, men chosen by the community, who defied Moses and Aaron’s authority. They joined Korah’s followers when they defied the Lord’s authority. 10The ground opened up and swallowed them along with Korah. They and their followers died when the fire consumed the 250 men. This was a warning. But the descendants of Korah didn’t die.) 12The families descended from Simeon were the family of Nemuel, the family of Jamin, the family of Jakin, 13the family of Zerah, and the family of Shaul.
