SIBI-P1 H6956-02
the Kohathite clansmen
| Root | קהת (q-h-t) |
| Core Meanings | possibly assembly, gathered clan (etymology uncertain; traditionally a proper name) |
| Semantic Range | members of the clan of Kohath; Levitical sub-tribe descended from Kohath; specifically those assigned sacred transport duties in the wilderness period. |
| Conceptual Significance | The Kohathites were one of the principal Levitical divisions, entrusted with carrying the most sacred furnishings of the Tabernacle. Their designation highlights covenantal lineage and sacred responsibility within Israel’s priestly structure. |
| Morphological Notes | Definite article (הַ) + gentilic noun masculine plural absolute from קֳהָתִי ("Kohathite"); refers collectively to the male members of the Kohathite clan. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a definite masculine plural gentilic ("the" + Kohathite), referring to the male members of the clan descended from Kohath. "Clansmen" preserves the masculine plural force of the morphology, while "Kohathite" retains the patronymic connection to the ancestor Kohath (קהת). |
