Kohath
        (assembly), second of the three sons of Levi, from whom the three principal divisions of the Levites derived their origin and their name. Ge 46:11; Ex 6:16 In the journeyings of the tabernacle of the sons of Kohath (Kohathites) had charge of the most holy portions of the vessels. Nu 4:1 ... Of the personal history of Kohath we know nothing, except that he came down to Egypt with Levi and Jacob, Ge 46:11 that his sister was Jochebed, Ex 6:20 and that he lived to the age of 133 years. Ex 6:18 (B.C. about 1491.)
