The Bnei Qoraḥ (sons of Ḳoraḥ a/k/a Qoraḥites) were an important branch of the singers of the Kohathite division (2 Chronicles 20:19). Eleven psalms are attributed to the Qoraḥites: Psalms 42, Psalms 44 - 49, Psalms 84, Psalms 85, Psalms 87, and Psalms 88. Some of the sons of Qoraḥ also were "porters" of the temple (1 Chronicles 9:17-19); one of them was over "things that were made in the pans" (v31), i.e., the baking in pans for the meat-offering (Leviticus 2:5).

In the communities of Morocco and Mumbai, the day after Yom Kippur was a holiday for priests known as Yom Simḥat Kohen. The origins of this practice can be found in Mishnah Yoma 7:4, where the high priest makes a festival for his loved ones after successfully completing the Yom Kippur rituals. In Mumbai, the practice (as recorded in Joseph Ezekiel Rajpurkar’s bilingual Hebrew/Marathi siddur) was to recite Psalms 85 on Yom Simḥat Kohen. The editor has included the text of Psalms 85, Rajpurkar’s Marathi translation, a new English translation, and a vocalized version of the Arabic tafsir of Rav Saadiah Gaon. . . .
