Korah (Hebrew: קֹרַח Qōraḥ; Arabic: قارون Qārūn), son of Izhar, is an individual who appears in the Biblical Book of Numbers of the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) and four different verses in the Quran, known for leading a rebellion against Moses. Some older English translations, as well as the Douay–Rheims Bible, spell the name Core,[1] and many Eastern European translations have "Korak" or "Korey".[2]
The name Korah is also used for at least one other individual in the Hebrew Bible: Korah (son of Esau).
