This task underscores their role in maintaining the sanctity of the tabernacle. Elzaphan is also referenced in <a href="/numbers/3-30.htm">Numbers 3:30</a> as a leader of the Kohathite clans, further emphasizing his leadership role within the tribe. Sithri, while not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible, is part of this significant lineage, contributing to the overall understanding of the Levitical family's structure and responsibilities.
