Description
Miriam von Nordheim-Diehl deals with the "Korach problem" of the Old Testament. The following question can be described as the "Korach problem": How can it be that - as Num. 16f. reports that a Levite named Korah led a rebellion against Moses and Aaron, and as punishment he was swallowed up by the face of the earth along with all who belonged to him, and yet his descendants, the sons of Korah, became famous as psalmists? According to the Psalm headings, the sons of Korah are indicated as the authors or at least collectors and editors of the so-called Korach psalms psalms that in part contain a pronounced Zion theology (see above Ps 46 and 48). But that's not the only thing that's surprising. Moreover, for the chroniclers, the Korahites represent a vital pillar of the temple staff. According to the Chronicle, the Korahites were not merely Levites, but were famous singers and gatekeepers, and even fought as heroes at David's side. Historically, such a career would be unthinkable for the descendants of a rebel, a rebel against Moses.
