These were the sons of Levi
on Numbers 3:17-20
The eight families named here are the working units of the rest of the chapter. Each of the three houses is about to receive a side of the tabernacle, a number, a chief and a load.
This site's exposition
Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel
John Gill traces the four Kohathite clans to these sons, with Moses and Aaron in the Amramite clan. Izhar is the father of Korah at Exodus 6:21, and Uzziel the father of Elizaphan, chief of the Kohathites at verse 30. One house holds priest, rebel and chief.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
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.

proposed
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.
