Kohathites

The Kohathites were a subgroup of the Levites, a tribe assigned specific religious duties in ancient Israel. They lived during biblical times and were responsible for caring for the sanctuary's sacred objects, like the Ark of the Covenant, the lampstands, and other holy items. Instead of handling these objects directly, they would assist the priests (descendants of Aaron) and ensure the proper care and transportation of these sacred items. Their role was crucial in maintaining the religious rituals and reverence associated with the Israelite worship practices.
