First, in plain English

Levi's second son. His descendants had the holiest work in the tabernacle, carrying the ark and the sacred furniture on poles, and even they would die if they touched those things.

Who this is

Kohath was Levi's second son, and his descendants, the Kohathites, were assigned the most sacred tabernacle duties, carrying the ark of the covenant and other holy furnishings on their shoulders using poles, since even they were forbidden to touch the sacred objects directly on penalty of death.
