What the Bible says about
Kohath
(From Forerunner Commentary)
|
Exodus 6:16-20
Moses' family was not one of any distinction in Israel. He was descended from Levi through Kohath to Amram who married Jochebed. Jochebed was Amram's aunt, strangely enough; she was his father's sister. She was probably about the same age as Amram or maybe even younger. From that marriage, Moses was born. It is interesting to consider that, in Leviticus 18:12, such marriages were forbidden, but this was before that injunction. Nevertheless, Moses was the product of an interesting relationship.

Numbers 16:6-7
This is an inter-family squabble, mostly an argument among Levites, headed by a grandson of Kohath, Korah. Moses puts the blame squarely on the ones who were in charge. These Levites thought they had been kept out of the good positions. Their job was to take down the Tabernacle, cart it off, and do other physical labors, while Aaron's family got to be priests.
