Korahite; a gentilic adjective designating members of the Levitical clan descended from Korah son of Izhar.
This gentilic adjective identifies members of the Levitical family descended from Korah son of Izhar, always appearing with the definite article. The Korahites served as temple gatekeepers and musicians, as detailed in Chronicles (1 Chr 9:19, 31; 12:7; 26:1, 19). They are listed among Levitical clans in Numbers 26:58 and Exodus 6:24. Second Chronicles 20:19 records them rising to praise the Lord before Jehoshaphat's battle. The psalm superscriptions attributed to 'the sons of Korah' likely designate this same guild. Spanish 'coraíta' and English 'Korahite' preserve the patronymic connection to their ancestor.

1. Korahite (gentilic) — A gentilic adjective derived from Korah (qorach), designating members of the Levitical clan descended from Korah son of Izhar. Always used with the article, it appears as a collective singular (Exod 6:24; Num 26:58; 1 Chr 9:31) and in the plural (1 Chr 9:19; 12:7; 26:1; 2 Chr 20:19). The Korahites served as temple gatekeepers and musicians, and are likely the guild behind the 'sons of Korah' psalm superscriptions. Spanish 'coraíta/korajita' and English 'Korahite/Korahites' faithfully render the patronymic. 8×
