Kohath's lineage is particularly important in the context of the Levitical priesthood and the service of the Tabernacle. His descendants, known as the Kohathites, played a crucial role in the religious and ceremonial life of the Israelites. Genealogy and Family Kohath was the second son of Levi, as recorded in <a href="/genesis/46-11.htm">Genesis 46:11</a>: "The sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari." Kohath had four sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel (<a href="/exodus/6-18.htm">Exodus 6:18</a>). Amram, Kohath's son, is notably the father of Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, making Kohath the grandfather of these central biblical figures (<a href="/exodus/6-20.htm">Exodus 6:20</a>). Role and Duties The Kohathites were entrusted with the care of the most sacred objects of the Tabernacle. According to <a href="/numbers/4-4.htm">Numbers 4:4-15</a>, their duties included the transportation of the Ark of the Covenant, the table of showbread, the lampstand, the altars, and the sacred utensils. These items were to be covered by Aaron and his sons before the Kohathites could carry them, emphasizing the holiness and sanctity of their charge. <a href="/numbers/4-15.htm">Numbers 4:15</a> states, "After Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy objects and all their accessories, the camp is then ready to move. The Kohathites are to come and do the carrying, but they must not touch the holy things, or they will die." This passage underscores the gravity and reverence associated with their responsibilities. Inheritance and Cities The Kohathites, like other Levites, did not receive a territorial inheritance in the Promised Land. Instead, they were given specific cities to dwell in, scattered among the tribes of Israel. <a href="/joshua/21-4.htm">Joshua 21:4-5</a> details the allocation of cities to the Kohathites, including Hebron in Judah, which was designated as a city of refuge. Significance in Israelite Worship The Kohathites' role in the transportation and care of the Tabernacle's sacred objects highlights their integral part in the worship and religious practices of ancient Israel. Their duties required a high level of sanctity and obedience to God's commands, reflecting the broader Levitical emphasis on holiness and service. Legacy Kohath's legacy is primarily seen through his descendants, particularly Moses and Aaron, who were pivotal in leading the Israelites out of Egypt and establishing the priestly and legal systems that would define Israelite society. The Kohathites' service in the Tabernacle set a precedent for the later Temple service in Jerusalem, continuing their influence in Israel's religious life. In summary, Kohath is a foundational figure in the Levitical lineage, with his descendants playing a vital role in the spiritual and communal life of Israel. His account and the duties of the Kohathites serve as a testament to the importance of obedience, reverence, and dedication in the service of God.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div>Kohathcongregation; wrinkle; bluntness<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div>Kohath(assembly), second of the three sons of Levi, from whom the three principal divisions of the Levites derived their origin and their name.
