The name appears in the context of the Levitical lineage, which is significant for understanding the priestly and musical roles within the Israelite community. Tokhath is found in the genealogies that trace the descendants of Levi, one of the twelve sons of Jacob, whose descendants were set apart for religious duties.<br><br><b>Biblical Reference:</b><br><br>Tokhath is mentioned in <a href="/1_chronicles/6-24.htm">1 Chronicles 6:24</a> , which states: "Tahath his son, Uriel his son, Uzziah his son, and Shaul his son." In this passage, Tokhath is referred to as "Tahath," a variant of the name, which is common in ancient genealogical records. The context of this verse is a detailed listing of the descendants of Levi, specifically through the line of Kohath, one of Levi's three sons. The Kohathites held a special place among the Levites, as they were responsible for the care of the sanctuary's most sacred objects.<br><br><b>Genealogical Significance:</b><br><br>The genealogies in 1 Chronicles serve to establish the continuity and legitimacy of the Levitical priesthood and their roles in the worship practices of Israel. Tokhath, as part of this lineage, underscores the hereditary nature of the Levitical duties. The Kohathites, to whom Tokhath belonged, were entrusted with the transportation and care of the Ark of the Covenant and other holy items during the Israelites' wanderings in the wilderness (<a href="/numbers/4-4.htm">Numbers 4:4-15</a>).<br><br><b>Role and Function:</b><br><br>While the Bible does not provide specific details about Tokhath's personal life or individual contributions, his inclusion in the genealogical record highlights the importance of family lineage in maintaining the religious and cultural traditions of Israel. The Kohathites, including Tokhath's descendants, played a crucial role in the religious life of the nation, ensuring that the sacred rituals and worship practices were carried out according to divine instructions.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b><br><br>From a theological perspective, the mention of Tokhath in the genealogies reflects the biblical emphasis on God's covenantal faithfulness to His people. The preservation of the Levitical line demonstrates God's provision for the spiritual leadership and guidance of Israel. It also points to the broader theme of God's sovereignty in orchestrating the history and destiny of His chosen people.<br><br>In summary, Tokhath, though a minor figure in the biblical narrative, represents a vital link in the chain of Levitical service, contributing to the continuity and stability of Israel's worship and religious identity. His place in the genealogy underscores the importance of family heritage and divine calling in the unfolding account of God's redemptive plan.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">TOKHATH</span><p>tok'-hath.<br><br>See <a href="../t/tikvah.htm">TIKVAH</a>.<p><a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/8445.htm"><span class="l">8445.
