Context of Numbers 26:12

10But the earth opened up its mouth and swallowed them with Korah, and fire devoured 250 of their followers. This served as a warning to the entire nation of Israel. 11However, the sons of Korah did not die that day. These were the clans descended from the sons of Simeon: The Jemuelite clan, named after their ancestor Jemuel. The Jaminite clan, named after their ancestor Jamin. The Jakinite clan, named after their ancestor Jakin. 13The Zoharite clan, named after their ancestor Zohar. The Shaulite clan, named after their ancestor Shaul. 14These were the clans of Simeon. Their registered troops numbered 22,200.
