Context of Numbers 26:9

7These were the families of Reuben. The total number of men was 43,730. 8Eliab was the son of Pallu, and 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. 11But the descendants of Korah didn’t die.)
