11 The sons of Leʹvi+ were Gerʹshon, Koʹhath, and Me·rarʹi.+

27 From Koʹhath came the family of the Amʹram·ites, the family of the Izʹhar·ites, the family of the Hebʹron·ites, and the family of the Uz·ziʹel·ites. These were the families of the Koʹhath·ites.+ 28 The number of all the males from a month old and up was 8,600; they were responsible for taking care of the holy place.+ 29 The families of the sons of Koʹhath camped on the south side of the tabernacle.+ 30 The chieftain of the paternal house of the families of the Koʹhath·ites was E·li·zaʹphan the son of Uzʹzi·el.+ 31 Their responsibility was to care for the Ark,+ the table,+ the lampstand,+ the altars,+ the utensils+ used to minister in the holy place, the screen,*+ and all the service connected with these.+
