Tahath

William Smith's Bible Dictionary

the name of a desert station of the Israelites between Makheloth and Tarah. (Numbers 33:26) The site has not been identified.


(station).

• A Kohathite Levite, ancestor of Samuel and Heman. (1 Chronicles 6:22,37; 9:22) (B.C. about 1415.)

• According to the present text, son of Bered, and great-grandson of Ephraim. (1 Chronicles 7:20) Burrington, however, identifies Tahath with Tahan, the son of Ephraim.

• Grandson of the preceding, as the text now stands. (1 Chronicles 7:20) But Burrington considers him as a son of Ephraim.
