(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.
