Numbers 3:30
"And the chief of the house of the father of the families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And the chief of the house of the father of the families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel. The same man, who, with his brother Mishael,

carried Nadab and Abihu out of the camp, and buried them, Lev 10:4 ; he descended from the last and youngest of the families of the Kohathites; and some think this was one reason at least of Korah's dissatisfaction, and of his entering into a conspiracy against Moses and Aaron, because one of a younger family of his house was preferred to this dignity before him.
