In the New Testament, it is used to denote individuals who are descendants of Levi and who often served specific religious roles, particularly in the context of the Temple in Jerusalem.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The Levites held a unique position among the tribes of Israel. They were set apart for religious duties and were not given a territorial inheritance like the other tribes. Instead, they were distributed among the other tribes and supported through tithes and offerings. The Levites were responsible for the care of the Tabernacle (and later the Temple), and they assisted the priests, who were also from the tribe of Levi but specifically descended from Aaron. This distinction is crucial in understanding their role in Israelite society and worship.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3017.htm">Leui</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a Levite, a desc. of Levi<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Levite (2), Levites (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3019: Λευίτης</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Λευίτης</span></span> (<span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">Λευειτης</span> (so <span class="manuref">Tr</span> except in <a href="/interlinear/acts/4-36.htm">Acts 4:36</a>; see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">εἰ</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἰ</span>)), <span class="greek2">Λευίτου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>, <span class="accented">a Levite</span>; <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> one of Levi's posterity. <p><span class="emphasized">b.</span> in a norrower sense those were called Levites (Hebrew <span class="hebrew">לֵוִי</span> <span class="hebrew">בְּנֵי</span>, <span class="hebrew">לְוִיִּים</span>) who, not being of the race of Aaron for whom alone the priesthood was reserved, served as assistants of the priests.
