Commentary
3 notes on this verseAnd 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.
This site's exposition
And of Kohath was the family of the Amramites
on Numbers 3:27-28
Kohath's four families number eight thousand six hundred, the largest of the three houses. The Amramites are the family of Moses and Aaron, and the Izeharites are the family of Korah, whom Numbers 16:1 traces through Izhar back to Kohath. The men who will carry the holy furniture and the man who will challenge the priesthood come out of the same house of Levi.
