1. Son of Kohath and brother of Amram (Exodus 6:18; 1 Chronicles 6:2). He was the father of Mishael, Elzaphan, and Zithri (Exodus 6:22). The first two, at the bidding of Moses, carried from the Tabernacle the bodies of Nadab and Abihu, their cousins (Leviticus 10:4).

Another son of Uzziel, named Amminadab, was one of the Levite chiefs selected to carry the Ark of the Covenant to the tent which David had pitched for it in Zion (1 Chronicles 15:10). Two other sons of Uzziel were named respectively Micah and Jesiah (ib. 23:20). His descendants were termed "Uzzielites" (Numbers 3:27; 1 Chronicles 26:23).
