The Kohathites were one of the three main divisions of the Levites, who were set apart for specific duties related to the tabernacle and later the temple. Amram, the most notable of Kohath's sons, was the father of Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, making him a significant figure in the narrative of the Exodus. Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel also contributed to the Levitical lineage, with their descendants playing roles in the religious and communal life of Israel. The mention of these sons highlights the importance of lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative, emphasizing the continuity of God's covenant with the people of Israel. This lineage is crucial for understanding the priestly and prophetic roles that emerge later in the biblical story.<p><b>Kohath lived 133 years.</b><br>The lifespan of Kohath, recorded as 133 years, reflects the longer lifespans typical of the patriarchal period, which gradually decreased over time. This detail underscores the historical context of the early Israelite community and their understanding of genealogy and legacy. The longevity of Kohath and his descendants is significant in maintaining the continuity of the Levitical line, which was essential for the religious leadership and service in Israel. The specific mention of his age also serves to authenticate the historical record, providing a framework for the chronology of the events leading up to the Exodus.<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.

Kohath, who was probably about twenty at the time of the descent into Egypt, must have considerably outlived Joseph, who died about seventy years after the descent. His eldest son, Amram, is not likely to have been born much later than his father's thirtieth year. (See <a href="/genesis/11-12.htm">Genesis 11:12-24</a>.)
