The rest of the Kohathite clans of the Levites were allotted cities from the tribe of Ephraim.

“Take a census ¹  of the Kohathites from among the Levites, by their families and by their clans,

The rest of the Kohathite clans received ten cities and their grazing areas.

Now the leader of the clan of the families of the Kohathites was Elizaphan son of Uzziel.

They were assigned to the Kohathite clans of the Levites who were descendants of Aaron, ¹  for the first lot belonged to them.

The families of the Kohathites were to camp on the south side of the tabernacle.

These were those numbered from the families of the Kohathites, everyone who served in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the Lord by the authority of Moses.

“Do not allow the tribe of the families of the Kohathites to be cut off ¹  from among the Levites;

And these are the Levites who were numbered according to their families: from Gershon, the family of the Gershonites; of Kohath, the family of the Kohathites; from Merari, the family of the Merarites.

These were the areas where Aaron’s descendants lived: ¹  The following belonged to the Kohathite clan, for they received the first allotment: ² 

From Kohath came the family of the Amramites, the family of the Izharites, the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites; these were the families of the Kohathites. ¹ 

Some of the Kohathites, their relatives, were in charge of preparing the bread that is displayed each Sabbath.

The sons of Kohath by their families were: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.

The first lot belonged to ¹  the Kohathite clans. The Levites who were descendants of Aaron the priest were allotted thirteen cities from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin.

Within the territory of the tribe of Benjamin they were allotted ¹  Geba and its pasturelands, Alemeth and its pasturelands, and Anathoth and its pasturelands. Their clans were allotted thirteen cities in all.

The clans of Kohath’s descendants also received territory within the tribe of Ephraim. ¹ 

Counting every male from a month old and upward, there were 8,600. They were responsible for the care ¹  of the sanctuary.

So Moses and Aaron and the leaders of the community numbered the Kohathites by their families and by clans,

But to the Kohathites he gave none, because the service of the holy things, which they carried ¹  on their shoulders, was their responsibility. ² 

And the Kohathites set out, carrying the articles for the sanctuary; ¹  the tabernacle was to be set up ²  before they arrived. ³
