Numbers 3:27-32

27There were four families in Kohath's clan. They were the families of Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.

28There were 8,600 males who were one month old or older in this clan. They had to take care of the things inside the special Tent.

29Kohath's clan had to put up their tents on the south side of the tabernacle.

30The leader of Kohath's descendants was Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.

31Kohath's family had to take care of the Covenant Box, the table and the lampstands. They had to take care of the altars and the tools that the priests used in the special Tent. They also took care of the curtain in front of the Most Holy Place in the Tent. They did all the work with those things.

32Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, was the most important leader of the Levites. He ruled over those people who took care of God's special Tent.
