Now the leader of the clan of the families of the Kohathites was Elizaphan son of Uzziel.p>

&#8220;Do not allow the tribe of the families of the Kohathites to be cut off<n id="1" /> from among the Levites;

<t /><p class="bodytext">So Moses and Aaron and the leaders of the community numbered the Kohathites by their families and by clans,

And the Kohathites set out, carrying the articles for the sanctuary;<n id="1" /> the tabernacle was to be set up<n id="2" /> before they arrived.<n id="3" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">From Kohath came the family of the Amramites, the family of the Izharites, the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites; these were the families of the Kohathites.<n id="1" />

These were those numbered from the families of the Kohathites, everyone who served in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the <sc>Lordsc> by the authority of Moses.p>

<p class="bodytext">And these are the Levites who were numbered according to their families: from Gershon, the family of the Gershonites; of Kohath, the family of the Kohathites; from Merari, the family of the Merarites.
