- Genesis 46:11
The sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Commentary on Genesis 46:111 voice
In the speech of Stephen (Ac 7:14) the number is stated to be seventy-five; but as that estimate includes five sons of Ephraim and Manasseh (1Ch 7:14-20), born in Egypt, the two accounts coincide.

- Exodus 6:16
These were the names of the sons of Levi according to their records: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. Levi lived 137 years.
Commentary on Exodus 6:162 voices
And these are the names of the sons of Levi, according to their generations,.... Whose sons, according to the order of their birth, were as follow: Gershom, and Kohath, and Merari; see Gen 46:11, and the years of the life of Levi were one hundred and thirty seven years; and exactly the same number of years is assigned him by Polyhistor from Demetrius (c), an Heathen writer.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
The years of the life of Levi - Bishop Patrick observes that Levi is thought to have lived the longest of all Jacobs sons, none of whose ages are recorded in Scripture but his and Josephs, whom Levi survived twenty-seven years, though he was much the elder brother. By the common computation this would be twenty-three years: by Kennicotts computation at the end of Genesis 31. (See Clarkes note at Gen 31:55) Levis birth is placed twenty-four years before that of Joseph; his death, therefore, would be only three years later.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- Exodus 6:18
The sons of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. Kohath lived 133 years.
Commentary on Exodus 6:181 voice
And the sons of Kohath, Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel,.... So they are reckoned in 1Ch 6:18 though only the family of the Hebronites are mentioned in Num 26:58. and the years of the life of Kohath were one hundred and thirty three years. A Jewish chronologer says (f) he died one hundred years before the going out of Egypt: just the same number of years is ascribed to him by Polyhistor from Demetrius, an Heathen historian (g). (f) Shalshalet Hakabalaut, ut supra. (fol. 5. 1.) (g) Apud Euseb. ut supra. (Praepar. Evangel. l. 9. c.

- Numbers 3:19
The sons of Kohath by their clans were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
Commentary on Numbers 3:192 voices
And the sons of Kohath, by their families,.... Who was the second son of Levi: Amram, and Izehar, Hebron, and Uzziel; so in Exo 6:18; and from whom were named the family of the Amramites, to which Moses and Aaron belonged; and the families of the Izeharites, Hebronites, and Uzzielites, as they are called, Num 3:27.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Number the children of Levi--They were numbered as well as the other tribes; but the enumeration was made on a different principle--for while in the other tribes the number of males was calculated from twenty years and upward [Nu 1:3], in that of Levi they were counted "from a month old and upward." The reason for the distinction is obvious.

- Numbers 3:27
From Kohath came the clans of the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites; these were the clans of the Kohathites.
Commentary on Numbers 3:272 voices
And of Kohath was the family of the Amramites,.... So called from Amram, the first son of Kohath, and father of Aaron and Moses; so that Moses and Aaron, and their children, are included in this family: and the family of Izeharites; of which family was Korah, Num 16:1, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites; which four families had their names from Kohath's four sons, Num 3:19, these are the families of the Kohathites; which were as many as both the other sons of Levi.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Of the Levites, the Kohathites, the kinsmen of Moses and Aaron, and the most numerous, have the most important charge confided to them, namely, that of the ark, the altars, and the more especially sacred furniture generally.

These were the families of the Levites: The Libnite clan, the Hebronite clan, the Mahlite clan, the Mushite clan, and the Korahite clan. Now Kohath was the father of Amram,
- Numbers 26:59
and Amram’s wife was named Jochebed. She was also a daughter of Levi, born to Levi in Egypt. To Amram she bore Aaron, Moses, and their sister Miriam.
Commentary on Numbers 26:591 voice
whom her mother bare - literally, whom she bare; the subject is wanting, and the verb is in the feminine gender. The words her mother are merely conjectural. The text is probably imperfect.
