What Does 1 Chronicles 6:18 Mean?

Kohath's four sons are listed once more, here as the founders of the Kohathite families. In the wilderness this clan bore the holiest furnishings -- the ark, the table, and the lampstand -- carried on their shoulders.

To carry the most sacred objects was a high honor and a heavy charge, demanding reverence at every step. Holiness is never to be handled casually. The Kohathites' careful burden reminds the reader that drawing near to God calls for awe, a reverence made perfect access through Christ.
