29 The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle southward.
29 The Kohathite clans were to camp on the south side of the tabernacle.
29 The clans of the sons of Kohath were to camp on the south side of the tabernacle,

Commentary on Numbers 3:14-39
(Read Numbers 3:14-39)
The Levites were in three classes, according to the sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari; and these were subdivided into families. The posterity of Moses were not at all honoured or privileged, but stood upon the level with other Levites; thus it was plain, that Moses did not seek the advancement of his own family, or to secure any honours to it. The tribe of Levi was by much the least of all the tribes. God's chosen are but a little flock in comparison with the world.
