The Kohathites were one of the main Levitical families responsible for the care of the sanctuary. They were tasked with carrying the most sacred objects of the tabernacle, such as the Ark of the Covenant, during the Israelites' wilderness journeys. This role highlights the importance of the Kohathites in maintaining the holiness and order of worship, reflecting the broader theme of God's holiness and the need for reverence 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 Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, and Aaron became the first high priest. This connection underscores the theme of God's providence and preparation, as Amram's descendants played pivotal roles in the establishment of Israel as a nation and in the development of its religious practices.<p><b>Izhar:</b><br>Izhar was another son of Kohath, and his descendants, the Izharites, were part of the Levitical duties. Although not as prominently featured as Amram's line, the Izharites contributed to the service and maintenance of the tabernacle. This reflects the broader biblical principle that all members of the community have a role to play in God's plan, emphasizing the value of service and faithfulness in seemingly lesser-known roles.<p><b>Hebron:</b><br>Hebron, another son of Kohath, should not be confused with the city of Hebron, although both share the same name. The Hebronites, his descendants, were also involved in the Levitical duties. The name Hebron means "association" or "fellowship," which can symbolize the unity and cooperation required among the Levites to fulfill their sacred duties. This unity is a recurring theme in Scripture, pointing to the importance of community and collaboration in fulfilling God's purposes.<p><b>Uzziel:</b><br>Uzziel, the fourth son of Kohath, is the ancestor of the Uzzielites. His descendants also served in the tabernacle, contributing to the overall function and worship practices of Israel. The name Uzziel means "God is my strength," which can be seen as a reminder of the source of strength and ability for those serving in God's work. This reflects the biblical theme that true strength and capability come from reliance on God.<p><b>Four in all:</b><br>The mention of "four in all" emphasizes the completeness and order within the family of Kohath. The number four often symbolizes universality or completeness in biblical numerology. This detail underscores the organized structure of the Levitical families and their designated roles, which were divinely appointed to ensure the proper worship and service to God. It also reflects the broader biblical theme of God's order and design in creation and in the community of His people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/k/kohath.htm">Kohath</a></b><br>Kohath was one of the sons of Levi, making him a grandson of Jacob.
