27 And of Kohath came the family of the Amramites, and the family of the Izharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites: these are the families of the Kohathites.

28 The number of all the males from a month old and above, was eight thousand and six hundred, having the [a]charge of the Sanctuary.

29 The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the South side of the Tabernacle.

30 The captain and ancient of the house and families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel:

31 And their charge shall be the [b]Ark, and the Table, and the Candlestick, and the altars, and the instruments of the Sanctuary that they minister with, and the veil, and all that serveth thereto.

32 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the Priest shall be [c]chief captain of the Levites, having the oversight of them that have the charge of the Sanctuary.
