“And those that were numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty.”
And those that were numbered of them by their clans were two thousand seven hundred and fifty — Kohath's documented strength (2,750) is smaller than Gershon's (2,630 + 2,930 = 5,560) and Merari's (3,200), reflecting that the clan most responsible for the most holy things consists of fewer personnel. The smaller size may indicate stricter selection criteria or ritual purity requirements.
