Parshat Korach recounts the rebellion of Korach, Dothan, Aviram and 250 men against the leadership of Moshe, and then reports the terrible punishment Hashem meted out to them – the earth would open its “mouth”, swallow them and all they possessed, and then would close its mouth again. Nevertheless, in Parshat Pinchas, the Torah states that the sons of Korach did not die. Rashi explains this contradiction by saying that they had thoughts of teshuvah, and Hashem found an elevated place for them in Gayhinom (usually inaccurately translated as Hell) high above the flames. There the sons of Korach composed psalms.
