Exodus 6:22
“The sons of Uzziel: Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Sithri.”
What does Exodus 6:22 mean?
This brief genealogical entry records the descendants of Uzziel, one of the sons of Kohath, within the tribe of Levi. While it might seem like just a list of names, these individuals belonged to the priestly line that would later serve God in the tabernacle—work that required faithfulness and dedication across generations. One of these descendants, Elzaphan (also called Elizaphan), is mentioned elsewhere in Scripture as someone who helped carry out important tasks during Israel's wilderness journey, showing that these names represent real people with real responsibilities in God's plan.
