Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 2. - Take the sum of the sons of Kohath. The Levites having been separated from the other tribes, the Kohathites are now to be separated from amongst the other Levites for the most honourable and sacred duties. To them the preference was given presumably because the priests were Kohathites.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English ReadersIV.(2) Of the sons of Kohath . . . --Kohath appears to have been the second son of Levi (Numbers 3:17), but the Kohathites here stand first because Moses and Aaron belonged to them, and it was their office to bear the Ark.
