Unresolved interpretation: Kohath’s sons and Korah’s father at 1 Chronicles 6

1 Chronicles 6:18 says, “The sons of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel,” and 6:37–38 give Heman’s forebears as “the son of Tahath, the son of Assir, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath”.

  ¹Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took some men.
  Publisher text Rights & provenance

1 Chronicles 6:22 names the sons of Kohath as “Amminadab his son, Korah his son”, making Korah the son of Amminadab; 6:37–38 and Numbers 16:1 name Korah the son of Izhar. 6:18 names the sons of Kohath Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. 6:23 makes Ebiasaph the son of Elkanah, and 6:37 the son of Korah; both lines make Tahath the son of Assir, and Assir the son of Ebiasaph (6:23–24, 6:37). This collection holds Korah (son of Izhar) (person-korah-izhar) as the son of Izhar, records Amminadab, Korah and the names after them of 6:22–24 in the name list 1ch-6-22-28 without joining them to any entry (nor to Amminadab the father of Nahshon, person-amminadab), and does not join the same names of the two lines to each other. The text does not say whether any of these are the same men, and the collection does not decide it.
