Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 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.
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, Le 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.

30. Elizaphan was of the youngest family of the Kohathites. Three other families outranked his in seniority. The ill-will awakened by this promotion of Elizaphan to the headship may have caused the rebellion of Korah, one of the older families.
