Kohath's descendants were given the responsibility of caring for the most sacred objects of the tabernacle, including the Ark of the Covenant. The Hebrew root for "Kohath" (קְהָת) suggests assembly or congregation, which is fitting given the Kohathites' role in the religious life of Israel. Historically, the Kohathites were central to the worship practices of the Israelites, emphasizing the importance of maintaining holiness and reverence in the presence of God.<p><b>Amram</b><br />Amram is perhaps best known as the father of Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, making him a pivotal figure in the history of Israel. The name "Amram" (עַמְרָם) can be translated as "exalted people" or "people of the exalted one," reflecting the significant role his descendants played in leading the Israelites out of Egypt and establishing the priesthood. This highlights the theme of God raising up leaders from among His people to fulfill His divine purposes.<p><b>Izhar</b><br />The name "Izhar" (יִצְהָר) means "shining" or "oil," which can symbolize anointing and the presence of the Holy Spirit. Izhar's descendants, like the rest of the Kohathites, were entrusted with sacred duties, underscoring the idea that those who serve in God's presence must be filled with His Spirit and shine His light to others. This serves as a reminder of the call to holiness and the transformative power of God's presence.<p><b>Hebron</b><br />Hebron (חֶבְרוֹן) is a name that means "association" or "fellowship." It is also the name of a significant city in the biblical narrative, known as a place of refuge and a city of the patriarchs. The name suggests a sense of community and unity, which is essential for those who serve in the house of God. The Kohathites, including the descendants of Hebron, were to work together in harmony to fulfill their sacred duties, reflecting the unity that should characterize the body of Christ.<p><b>Uzziel</b><br />The name "Uzziel" (עֻזִּיאֵל) means "God is my strength." This name encapsulates the reliance on divine strength required for those who serve in the temple. The Kohathites, tasked with carrying the weighty and holy objects of the tabernacle, needed God's strength to fulfill their responsibilities. This serves as an inspirational reminder that in our service to God, we must depend on His strength rather than our own, trusting that He equips us for the tasks He calls us to undertake.<span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/1_chronicles/6-18.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">The sons</span><br /><span class="heb">וּבְנֵ֖י</span> <span class="translit">(ū·ḇə·nê)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine plural construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> </span><span class="str2">A son</span><br /><br /><span class="word">of Kohath:</span><br /><span class="heb">קְהָ֑ת</span> <span class="translit">(qə·hāṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6955.htm">Strong's 6955: </a> </span><span class="str2">Kohath -- a son of Levi</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Amram,</span><br /><span class="heb">עַמְרָ֣ם</span> <span class="translit">(‘am·rām)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6019.htm">Strong's 6019: </a> </span><span class="str2">Amram -- the father of Moses, also an Israelite</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Izhar,</span><br /><span class="heb">וְיִצְהָ֔ר</span> <span class="translit">(wə·yiṣ·hār)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3324.htm">Strong's 3324: </a> </span><span class="str2">Izhar -- a Levite</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Hebron,</span><br /><span class="heb">וְחֶבְר֖וֹן</span> <span class="translit">(wə·ḥeḇ·rō·wn)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2275.htm">Strong's 2275: </a> </span><span class="str2">Hebron -- 'association, league', a city in southern Judah</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and Uzziel.</span><br /><span class="heb">וְעֻזִּיאֵֽל׃</span> <span class="translit">(wə·‘uz·zî·’êl)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5816.htm">Strong's 5816: </a> </span><span class="str2">Uzziel -- 'my strength is God', the name of several Israelites</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/1_chronicles/6-18.htm">1 Chronicles 6:18 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/1_chronicles/6-18.htm">1 Chronicles 6:18 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/1_chronicles/6-18.htm">1 Chronicles 6:18 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/1_chronicles/6-18.htm">1 Chronicles 6:18 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/1_chronicles/6-18.htm">1 Chronicles 6:18 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/1_chronicles/6-18.htm">1 Chronicles 6:18 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/1_chronicles/6-18.htm">1 Chronicles 6:18 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/1_chronicles/6-18.htm">1 Chronicles 6:18 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/1_chronicles/6-18.htm">1 Chronicles 6:18 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/1_chronicles/6-18.htm">1 Chronicles 6:18 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/1_chronicles/6-18.htm">OT History: 1 Chronicles 6:18 The sons of Kohath were Amram (1 Chron. 1Ch iCh i Ch 1 chr 1chr)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/1_chronicles/6-17.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="1 Chronicles 6:17"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="1 Chronicles 6:17" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/1_chronicles/6-19.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="1 Chronicles 6:19"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="1 Chronicles 6:19" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
