Burial site.
The burial site of Ithamar is associated with the "Hill of Phinehas" as related in the Bible and is attributed with the location of the village of Awarta in the Samarian section of the
elder brother, Eleazar, and Ithamar and Eleazar are regarded as the direct male ancestors of all Kohanim.
During the travels of the Israelites in the wilderness, Ithamar was responsible for the work of the sons of Gershon and Merari, the carriers of the Tabernacle fittings and structures, whilst Eleazar was responsible for the work of the sons of Kohath, who carried the cult objects (the ark, the altar and the lampstand).
He was also in charge of the work of the Levites in general.
