Quick answer
The sons of Uzziel are named, completing the Kohathite households. These men extend the priestly tribe's lineage.
Overview
Uzziel is another son of Kohath, and his descendants will serve among the Levites; Elzaphan in particular is later given charge over Kohathite duties (Numbers 3:30). Such lists, tedious to modern readers, testify that God knows His servants by name and assigns each a place. This careful record of God's ordered household points forward to the church, where every member is gifted for service.
