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