Exegesis

The construct chain benei-Kehat {בְּנֵֽי־קְהָת֙ | bə-nē-kə-hāṯ} ‘sons of Kohath’ specifies lineage, followed by the noun phrase haLeviim hanotarim {הַלְוִיִּ֔ם הַנּוֹתָרִ֖ים | ha-lə-wî-yim han-nō-ṭā-rîm} ‘the Levites the remaining ones’, where hanotarim, a Qal active participle with a definite article, marks those left over.
