Solving a Family Tree Puzzle

Scholars note a puzzle in this verse: Amminadab is named as Korah's father, while other passages name Izhar. The common explanations are that Amminadab was another name for Izhar, or that Izhar's name was accidentally omitted in a copy. This shows that even complex lists in Scripture have been carefully studied and have reasonable explanations.
