While Yocheved mothered Miriam, Moses and Aaron, the prophetess, leader and High Priest of Israel, her three brothers fathered the three constituent families of the tribe of Levi.[1] Eventually, the Levites were set apart from the rest of the Jewish people, dedicated to the Tabernacle and Temple service, assisting the Priests, the Kohanim—which was the family of Aaron. Throughout the Israelite’s 40 year sojourn in the desert, these families were charged with the mission of carrying the Tabernacle and its accessories: The Kehathites (the family of Kehos, the first son of Levi), carried the holiest items of the Tabernacle: the ark, candelabra, table, altars and all their utensils. The name Kehos in Hebrew means “gathering.” [5] The name Gershon means “expulsion.” The name Merari means “bitterness.”[6] Home and Away The first to be counted, and the family charged with the carrying the holy vessels of the Tabernacle, was the Kehos family. The first command from G-d to Moses to count, in Bamidbar reads thus: :‫ָנׂשא ֶא ת ֹראׁש ְּב ֵני ְק ָה ת ִמ ּתֹוְך ְּב ֵני ֵלִו י ְל ִמ ְׁש ְּפ ֹח ָת ם ְל ֵב ית ֲאֹב ָת ם‬ Make a count of the sons of Kohath from among the children of Levi by their families, according to their fathers' houses.[2] The second reads thus: :‫ָנׂשא ֶא ת ֹראׁש ְּב ֵני ֵגְר ׁשֹון ַּגם ֵה ם ְל ֵב ית ֲאֹב ָת ם ְל ִמ ְׁש ְּפ ֹח ָת ם‬ Take a census of the sons of Gershon, of them too, following their fathers' houses, according to their families.[3] Then you have the third one: :‫ְּב ֵני ְמ ָר ִר י ְל ִמ ְׁש ְּפ ֹח ָת ם ְל ֵב ית ֲאֹב ָת ם ִּת ְפ ֹק ד ֹא ָת ם‬ [As for] the sons of Merari, you shall count them by their families, according to their fathers' houses.[4] The first glaring difference is the use of the word ‘naso.’ The literal meaning of the word is to ‘raise,’ or ‘lift.’ In this context, it refers to ‘taking’ a census, as it is designed to accentuate the value of each individual counted, to lift up his head. A Portable Homeland One of the prophets who lived during that time, Malachi, made a fascinating and disturbing statement: ...‫ ממזרח שמש ועד מבואו גדול שמי בגוים ובכל מקום מוקטר מוגש לשמי ומנחה טהורה‬:‫ יא‬,‫מלאכי א‬ Malachi
