דברי הימים א, פרק ה׳, פסוק כ״ח

Genealogies often reflect more than just a simple birth order; they reveal the historical weight and spiritual legacy of specific families. When recording the four sons of Kohath, namely Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, the family lineage is given special prominence due to its profound historical significance.

Although standard birth order would normally dictate a different sequence, Kohath and his sons are intentionally listed before his brother Gershon. This deliberate placement serves as a mark of respect and honor for Kohath's most famous descendants, Moses and Aaron [מצודת דוד]. Furthermore, these specific names appear in several parallel passages throughout the Bible, reflecting the established tradition of recording this prominent lineage [מנחת שי].
