The Kohathites were one of the three main divisions of the Levites, tasked with the care of the sanctuary's most sacred objects. Izhar's lineage is significant because it highlights the hereditary nature of the Levitical priesthood and their specific roles in temple service. This lineage underscores the importance of maintaining purity and order in worship practices, as prescribed in the Mosaic Law.<p><b>the son of Kohath</b><br>Kohath was one of Levi's three sons, and his descendants were given the responsibility of caring for the most sacred parts of the tabernacle, including the Ark of the Covenant. This role required a high level of sanctity and reverence, reflecting the holiness of God. The Kohathites' duties are detailed in <a href="/numbers/4.htm">Numbers 4</a>, where they are instructed on how to transport the holy items without directly touching them, emphasizing the sacredness of their charge.<p><b>the son of Levi</b><br>Levi was the third son of Jacob and Leah, and his descendants were set apart for religious duties. The tribe of Levi did not receive a territorial inheritance like the other tribes of Israel; instead, they were given cities scattered throughout the land and were supported by the tithes of the other tribes. This arrangement highlights the Levites' role as spiritual leaders and mediators between God and the people of Israel. The Levitical priesthood is a type of Christ, who is our ultimate High Priest, mediating between God and humanity.<p><b>the son of Israel</b><br>Israel, originally named Jacob, was the patriarch of the twelve tribes of Israel. His name change from Jacob to Israel signifies his transformation and the covenant relationship established with God. The mention of Israel here connects the Levitical line to the broader narrative of God's chosen people and His promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This lineage underscores the continuity of God's covenantal faithfulness and the unfolding of His redemptive plan through the history of Israel.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/i/izhar.htm">Izhar</a></b><br>A descendant of Levi, Izhar is one of the sons of Kohath.
