Book ◦ Chapter

and the leader of the families of the Kohathites
The Kohathites were one of the four main divisions of the Levites, the others being the Gershonites, Merarites, and the priests descended from Aaron. The Kohathites had the special duty of caring for the most sacred objects of the tabernacle, including the Ark of the Covenant, the table of showbread, the lampstand, and the altars. This role highlights the importance of their leadership, as they were entrusted with the most holy items. The Kohathites' responsibilities are detailed inNumbers 4, emphasizing their significant role in the religious life of Israel. Their tasks required a high level of reverence and precision, reflecting the holiness of God and the sacredness of worship.

was Elizaphan
Elizaphan, also spelled Elzaphan in some translations, was chosen as the leader of the Kohathite families. His name means "God has protected" or "God is my treasure," which may reflect his role in safeguarding the holy items of the tabernacle. Leadership among the Levites was crucial, as it ensured the proper handling and transportation of the tabernacle's sacred objects. Elizaphan's leadership would have required him to be a man of integrity and deep respect for the divine commandments.

son of Uzziel
Uzziel was a descendant of Levi, making Elizaphan a member of the Levitical tribe. Uzziel was the uncle of Aaron and Moses, as he was the brother of Amram, their father. This familial connection places Elizaphan in close relation to the central figures of Israel's leadership during the Exodus. The mention of his lineage underscores the importance of family heritage and the continuation of responsibilities through generations. It also highlights the interconnectedness of the Levitical families and their shared duty in serving the Lord.
