קְהָתִי

The descendants of Kohath. They formed the first of the three divisions of the Levites (Exodus 6:16,18; Numbers 3:17 ). In the journeyings of the Israelites they had the charge of the most holy portion of the vessels of the tabernacle, including the ark (Numbers 4 ). Their place in the marching and encampment was south of the tabernacle (Numbers 3:29,31 ). Their numbers at different times are specified (3:28; 4:36; 26:57,62). Samuel was of this division.
