John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“And the sons of Kohath, Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel, etc.] So they are reckoned in (<130618>1 Chronicles 6:18) though only the family of the Hebronites are mentioned in (<042658>Numbers 26:58) and the years of the life of Kohath were one hundred and thirty three years. A Jewish chronologer says f179 he died one hundred years before the going out of Egypt: just the same number of years is ascribed to him by Polyhistor from Demetrius, an Heathen historian f180.”
