Unlike other tribes, they did not receive a territorial inheritance in the Promised Land but were given cities among the other tribes. Their role was crucial in maintaining the spiritual life of Israel, serving as priests, musicians, and caretakers of the Tabernacle.<p><b>The Libnite clan, the Hebronite clan, the Mahlite clan, the Mushite clan, and the Korahite clan:</b><br>These clans represent the subdivisions within the tribe of Levi. Each clan had specific roles and responsibilities in the service of the Tabernacle. The Korahites, for example, were known for their role in the rebellion against Moses and Aaron (Numbers 16), which serves as a warning against challenging God’s appointed leaders. The mention of these clans highlights the organization and structure within the tribe, ensuring that the duties of worship and sacrifice were carried out efficiently.<p><b>Now Kohath was the father of Amram:</b><br>Kohath was one of the three sons of Levi, and his descendants held a special place among the Levites. Amram, a descendant of Kohath, was the father of Moses and Aaron, making this lineage particularly significant. This connection underscores the importance of the Kohathite line in Israel's history, as Moses and Aaron were central figures in the Exodus and the establishment of Israel's religious practices. The Kohathites were responsible for carrying the most sacred objects of the Tabernacle, emphasizing their privileged and holy role.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/l/levites.htm">Levites</a></b><br>A tribe set apart for religious duties and service to the Tabernacle, distinct from the other tribes of Israel.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/l/libnites,_hebronites,_mahlites,_mushites,_korahites.htm">Libnites, Hebronites, Mahlites, Mushites, Korahites</a></b><br>These are the families or clans within the tribe of Levi, each descending from one of Levi's sons or grandsons.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/k/kohath.htm">Kohath</a></b><br>One of Levi's sons, whose descendants had specific duties related to the sanctuary.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/a/amram.htm">Amram</a></b><br>A descendant of Kohath, father of Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, significant figures in Israel's history.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/c/census_of_israel.htm">Census of Israel</a></b><br>The context of this verse is a census commanded by God to count the Israelites, including the Levites, as they prepared to enter the Promised Land.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_heritage_and_lineage.htm">The Importance of Heritage and Lineage</a></b><br>Understanding our spiritual heritage can deepen our appreciation for God's work throughout history.
