Chronicles 6:1-81
The sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath nd Merari.
The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel. The children of Amram: Aaron, Moses and Miriam.
Samuel is the descendant of Kohath.
The priestly tribe of Levi. The line of the high priests; the families of Gersons, Kohath and Merari; families of the singers; descendants of Aaron; list of Levitical cities.
Notice the space given to the priestly tribe, in which the Chronicler has a special interest.
V27: 'Samuel his son' should be inserted after Elkath. The reference is to the prophet Samuel. Hebrew does not have 'and Samuel his son.'
Why?
Priests have an important role in the plan of the Lord. They are the interpreter of God's word on the earth.
Entering New Testament, Christian has the role of priest of God in this world also.
you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession,that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.(1 Peter 2:9)
How?
Play the royal priesthood in my life and honor the name of Jesus Christ!
