Berean Strong's Lexicon Qehath: Kohath Original Word: קְהָת Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to ally oneself Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Kohath, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew lineage. However, the Greek term "Λευί" (Levi) in the Septuagint refers to the tribe to which Kohath belongs. Usage: Kohath is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a significant figure in the lineage of Levi. Kohath was one of the three sons of Levi, making him a grandson of Jacob (Israel). The descendants of Kohath, known as the Kohathites, played a crucial role in the religious and ceremonial life of Israel, particularly in the service of the Tabernacle and later the Temple. Cultural and Historical Background: Kohath is a central figure in the Levitical priesthood. The Kohathites were entrusted with the care of the most sacred objects of the Tabernacle, including the Ark of the Covenant, the table of showbread, the lampstand, the altars, and the sacred utensils. This responsibility highlights the importance of the Kohathites in maintaining the holiness and proper worship practices of Israel. The Kohathites were not given land like other tribes but were instead given cities within the territories of other tribes, emphasizing their unique role and dependence on the broader community of Israel.
