"Who was Korah’s father?" (Alleged Contradiction #E4579)
And these were the sons of Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon, Esau’s wife: and she bare to Esau Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah. These were dukes of the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz the firstborn son of Esau; duke Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke Kenaz, duke Korah, duke Gatam, and duke Amalek: these are the dukes that came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these were the sons of Adah.
Genesis 36:14-16
Was Esau or Eliphaz the father of Korah?
Response
There were apparently two Korahs. One (the son of Eliphaz) was named for his uncle (the son of Esau). This sort of thing happens all of the time, even today in our culture—different people have the same names.
