Context:Kehath is a significant figure in the Hebrew Bible, recognized as the second son of Levi, making him a grandson of Jacob (Israel). He is the progenitor of the Kohathites, one of the three main divisions of the Levites, who were assigned specific duties related to the tabernacle and later the temple. The Kohathites were responsible for the care of the sanctuary's most sacred objects, including the Ark of the Covenant, the table of showbread, the lampstand, the altars, and the sacred utensils. This role underscored their importance in the religious life of Israel.

Kehath had four sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. Amram, his most notable son, was the father of Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, making Kehath the grandfather of these pivotal biblical figures. The descendants of Kehath, particularly through Aaron, played a crucial role in the priesthood and the religious leadership of Israel.

The name Kehath appears in several genealogical lists and narratives within the Pentateuch, emphasizing his role in the lineage of the Levites. Notably, in the Book of Numbers, the duties and responsibilities of the Kohathites are detailed, highlighting their sacred charge in the service of the tabernacle (Numbers 4:1-20).

The Berean Standard Bible references Kehath in passages such asGenesis 46:11,Exodus 6:16, andNumbers 3:17, where his lineage and the duties of his descendants are outlined.
