While this verse is a simple genealogical entry, commentator Matthew Henry draws a powerful lesson from the broader census. He notes that the census lists the ongoing lineage of Israel but also implicitly reminds readers of those who were judged, like Korah. However, Korah's children survived because they did not join their father's rebellion. This highlights a key principle: if we avoid partaking in the sins of others, we can also avoid their punishment, demonstrating God's just and discriminating judgment.
