The Kohathites were one of the major divisions of the Levites, who were set apart for religious duties. The Kohathites had the special responsibility of caring for the most sacred objects of the tabernacle, including the Ark of the Covenant, the table of showbread, the lampstand, and the altars. This role highlights the importance of the Kohathites in maintaining the spiritual life of Israel. The division into clans indicates a structured organization within the tribe, which was necessary for the orderly conduct of their duties.<p><b>were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel</b><br>Amram is perhaps the most notable of Kohath's sons, as he was the father of Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, key figures in the Exodus narrative.
