Commentary on Numbers 3:28
The enumeration of 8,600 Kohathite males from one month old demonstrates that consecration to God's service begins from infancy, not from personal choice or maturity. This pictures covenant theology—God sets apart His elect before they can choose Him, as He knew Jeremiah before formation in the womb (Jeremiah 1:5). The substantial size of this clan shows God's provision of sufficient workers for sacred duties. The charge of the sanctuary emphasizes that the Kohathites bore responsibility for the most holy objects.
