The Kohathites were one of the main divisions of the Levites, who were set apart for religious duties. Kohath's descendants were responsible for the care of the sanctuary's most sacred objects, including the Ark of the Covenant, the table of showbread, and the lampstand. This role highlights the importance of the Kohathites in maintaining the spiritual life of Israel. Their duties are detailed in <a href="/numbers/4.htm">Numbers 4</a>, where God assigns specific tasks to the Levites. The Kohathites' responsibilities underscore the holiness and reverence required in handling sacred items, reflecting the broader theme of holiness in worship.<p><b>Amram:</b><br>Amram is most notably recognized as the father of Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, making him a significant figure in Israel's history. His lineage is crucial as it connects to the leadership of Israel during the Exodus. Amram's marriage to Jochebed, who was also of the tribe of Levi, is mentioned in <a href="/exodus/6-20.htm">Exodus 6:20</a>. This union produced Moses, who would become the deliverer of Israel, and Aaron, the first high priest. Amram's family is a type of Christ in that Moses is seen as a deliverer, prefiguring Jesus' role as the ultimate deliverer from sin.<p><b>Izhar:</b><br>Izhar was another son of Kohath, and his descendants, the Izharites, are mentioned in the genealogies of the Levites. While not as prominent as Amram, Izhar's lineage is significant in the broader context of the Levitical duties and the organization of the tribes of Israel. His descendants played roles in the service of the tabernacle and later the temple, contributing to the worship and religious life of the nation.<p><b>Hebron:</b><br>Hebron, not to be confused with the city of the same name, was another son of Kohath. His descendants, the Hebronites, are mentioned in the genealogies and were part of the Levitical order. The city of Hebron itself holds historical and spiritual significance as a place where Abraham settled and where David was anointed king. The name Hebron means "association" or "fellowship," which can symbolize the communal and covenantal aspects of Israel's relationship with God.<p><b>Uzziel:</b><br>Uzziel was the youngest son of Kohath, and his descendants, the Uzzielites, also served in the Levitical duties. Uzziel's lineage is mentioned in various genealogical records, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the purity and order of the Levitical priesthood. The name Uzziel means "God is my strength," reflecting a common theme in biblical names that emphasize reliance on God's power and presence. This theme is echoed throughout scripture, reminding believers of the strength found in God alone.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/k/kohath.htm">Kohath</a></b><br>Kohath is one of the sons of Levi, making him a grandson of Jacob.

He was one of the travellers with Jacob into Egypt, was probably about twenty years the junior of Joseph, lived thirty years after his death, and attained the age of one hundred and thirty-three years, after a residence in Egypt of about one hundred and fifteen years in all. The Kohathites are expressly mentioned in their sacred duties in the time of David (<a href="/1_chronicles/15-5.htm">1 Chronicles 15:5-8</a>), and in the time of Hezekiah (<a href="/2_chronicles/29-12.htm">2 Chronicles 29:12-14</a>).
