Strong's Lexicon Qehathi: Kohathite Original Word: קְהָתִי Word Origin: Derived from קְהָת (Qehath), the name of a Levitical family. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Qehathi" as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a Levitical family. However, the Greek term "Λευίτης" (Leuites, Strong's G3019) refers to Levites in general, which would include the Kohathites. Usage: The term "Qehathi" refers to a descendant of Kohath, one of the sons of Levi. The Kohathites were one of the three main divisions of the Levites, who were assigned specific duties related to the tabernacle and later the temple. Their responsibilities included the care and transportation of the most sacred objects of the tabernacle, such as the Ark of the Covenant, the table of showbread, the lampstand, and the altars. Cultural and Historical Background: The Kohathites played a crucial role in the religious life of ancient Israel. As part of the tribe of Levi, they were set apart for service to God and the community. The Levites, including the Kohathites, did not receive a territorial inheritance like the other tribes of Israel; instead, their inheritance was the Lord and the service of the tabernacle. The Kohathites' duties were considered highly significant, as they were entrusted with the most sacred elements of Israel's worship.
