Contextual Overview

¹⁴ In the Sinai Desert the Lord commanded Moses ¹⁵ to register the Levites by clans and families, enrolling every male a month old or older, ¹⁶ and Moses did so. ¹⁷Levi had three sons: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari, who were the ancestors of the clans that bear their names. Gershon had two sons: Libni and Shimei; Kohath had four sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel; and Merari had two sons: Mahli and Mushi. They were the ancestors of the families that bear their names. ²¹ The clan of Gershon was composed of the families of Libni and Shimei. ²² The total number of males one month old or older that were enrolled was 7,500. ²³ This clan was to camp on the west behind the Tent, ²⁴ with Eliasaph son of Lael as chief of the clan. ²⁵ They were responsible for the Tent, its inner cover, its outer cover, the curtain for the entrance, ²⁶ the curtains for the court which is around the Tent and the altar, and the curtain for the entrance of the court. They were responsible for all the service connected with these items.

Reciprocal: Leviticus 10:4 - Uzziel Numbers 4:4 - General Numbers 4:15 - These things

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the chief of the house of the father of the families of the Kohathites [shall be] Elizaphan the son of Uzziel. The same man, who, with his brother Mishael, carried Nadab and Abihu out of the camp, and buried them, Leviticus 10:4; he descended from the last and youngest of the families of the Kohathites; and some think this was one reason at least of Korah's dissatisfaction, and of his entering into a conspiracy against Moses and Aaron, because one of a younger family of his house was preferred to this dignity before him.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Of the Levites, the Kohathites, the kinsmen of Moses and Aaron, and the most numerous, have the most important charge confided to them, namely, that of the ark, the altars, and the more especially sacred furniture generally.
