Study note
Setting — The Chronicler records the Kohathite lineage during a continuous genealogical account, linking the preceding generation in verse 21 to the succeeding line in verse 23.
The words — The text employs בְּנֵ֖י (benei, "sons") and בְּנ֔/וֹ (beno, "his son") to mark direct paternal descent from Kohath through Amminadab, Korah, and Assir.
The thread — This sequence parallels Exodus 6:21 and 6:24, which place Korah as a son of Izhar and list Assir and Elkanah among his descendants, while 1 Chronicles 6:2 outlines Kohath’s other sons.
Why it lands — The passage requires acceptance of the documented ancestral chain as the foundation for later Levitical service, leaving no room for speculative lineage.
