5 The tribe of Reuben (Reuben was the eldest son of Jacob): the clans of Hanoch, Pallu,
6 Hezron, and Carmi.
7 These clans numbered 43,730 men.
8 The descendants of Pallu were Eliab
9 and his sons Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. (These are the Dathan and Abiram who were chosen by the community. They defied Moses and Aaron and joined the followers of Korah when they rebelled against the Lord.
10 The ground opened and swallowed them, and they died with Korah and his followers when fire destroyed 250 men; they became a warning to the people.
11 But the sons of Korah were not killed.)
