Kohathites

Moses divided the Levites into three sections by their descent from the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. They were under the general supervision of Eleazar, the son of Aaron.

The leader of the Kohathites was Elizaphan (Num. 3:30). At the building of the Tabernacle they numbered 8,600 men (3:28), with 2,750 qualified for active service (4:36). They camped on the south side of the Tabernacle (3:29). Their duty was to have charge of the Ark, the table of the bread of the Presence, the lampstands, the altars of burnt offering and of incense, the sacred vessels used in the service, and the veil (3:31; 4:4-15).
