His name is associated with the tribe of Levi, which played a crucial role in the religious and priestly life of Israel. The Levites were set apart for specific duties related to worship and the tabernacle, and later the temple.<br><br><b>Biblical Background:</b> <br>Levi was born to Jacob and Leah, as recorded in <a href="/genesis/29-34.htm">Genesis 29:34</a>: "Again she conceived and gave birth to a son, and she said, 'Now at last my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.' So he was named Levi." The name "Levi" is often associated with the Hebrew word "lavah," meaning "to join" or "to attach."<br><br><b>Role and Significance:</b> <br>Levi's descendants, the Levites, were chosen by God for special service. This selection is highlighted in the aftermath of the golden calf incident, where the Levites stood with Moses against idolatry (<a href="/exodus/32-26.htm">Exodus 32:26-29</a>). As a result, they were set apart for the service of the tabernacle: "At that time the LORD set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister, and to pronounce blessings in His name, as they do to this day" (<a href="/deuteronomy/10-8.htm">Deuteronomy 10:8</a>).<br><br><b>Priestly Duties:</b> <br>The Levites were responsible for various duties in the tabernacle and later the temple. They assisted the priests, who were descendants of Aaron, a Levite himself. <a href="/numbers/3-6.htm">Numbers 3:6-9</a> outlines their responsibilities: "Bring the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron the priest to assist him. They are to perform duties for him and for the whole community at the Tent of Meeting by doing the work of the tabernacle."<br><br><b>Inheritance and Cities:</b> <br>Unlike other tribes, the Levites did not receive a territorial inheritance in the Promised Land. Instead, they were given cities scattered throughout Israel, as described in <a href="/bsb/joshua/21.htm">Joshua 21</a>. Their inheritance was the LORD Himself, as stated in <a href="/deuteronomy/18.htm">Deuteronomy 18:1-2</a>: "The Levitical priests—indeed the whole tribe of Levi—shall have no portion or inheritance with Israel. They shall eat the offerings made by fire to the LORD, for that is their inheritance."<br><br><b>Levi in Prophecy and History:</b> <br>Levi's role extends into prophetic literature, where the purification and restoration of the Levitical priesthood are anticipated. <a href="/malachi/3-3.htm">Malachi 3:3</a> speaks of refining the Levites: "He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may present offerings to the LORD in righteousness."<br><br><b>New Testament References:</b> <br>In the New Testament, the Levites are mentioned in the context of their historical and religious significance. The Gospel of Luke references a Levite in the parable of the Good Samaritan (<a href="/luke/10-32.htm">Luke 10:32</a>), illustrating the cultural and religious expectations of the time.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>Levi's legacy is deeply embedded in the religious life of Israel, with his descendants serving as key figures in the worship and spiritual leadership of the nation. The Levites' dedication to God and their unique role in Israel's history underscore the importance of faithfulness and service in the biblical narrative.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Levi</span><p>associated with him<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Levi</span><p>(<i>joined</i>). <ol> <li>The name of the third son of Jacob by his wife Leah. (B.C. about 1753.) The name, derived from <i>lavah</i> , "to adhere," gave utterance to the hope of the mother that the affections of her husband, which had hitherto rested on the favored Rachel, would at last be drawn to her: "This time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have borne him three sons." (<a href="/genesis/29-34.htm">Genesis 29:34</a>) Levi, with his brother Simeon, avenged with a cruel slaughter the outrage of their sister Dinah. [<a href="../d/dinah.htm">DINAH</a>] Levi, with his three sons, Gershon, Kohath and Merari, went down to Egypt with his father Jacob. (<a href="/genesis/47-11.htm">Genesis 47:11</a>) When Jacob's death draws near, and the sons are gathered round him, Levi and Simeon hear the old crime brought up again to receive its sentence. They no less than Reuben, the incestuous firstborn, had forfeited the privileges of their birthright.

The tribe of Levi was, according to Jacob's prediction, scattered over all Israel, having no share in the cities in the portions of other tribes.

He is mentioned as taking a prominent part in avenging his sister Dinah (<a href="/genesis/34-25.htm">Genesis 34:25</a>-31). He and his three sons went down with Jacob (<a href="/genesis/46-11.htm">46:11</a>) into Egypt, where he died at the age of one hundred and thirty-seven years (<a href="/exodus/6-16.htm">Exodus 6:16</a>).<p>(2.)

In this passage the name is connected with the verb lawah, "to adhere," or "be joined to," Leah expressing assurance that with the birth of this third son, her husband might be drawn closer to her in the bonds of conjugal affection. There is a play upon the name in <a href="/numbers/18-2.htm">Numbers 18:2, 4</a>, where direction is given that the tribe of Levi be "joined unto" Aaron in the ministries of the sanctuary. The etymology here suggested is simple and reasonable. The grounds on which some modern scholars reject it are purely conjectural. It is asserted, e.g., that the name is adjectival, not nominal, describing one who attaches himself; and this is used to support theory that the Levites were those who joined the Semitic people when they left Egypt to return to Palestine, who therefore were probably Egyptians. Others think it may be a gentilic form le'ah, "wild cow" (Wellhausen, Prolegomena, 146; Stade, Stade, Geschichte des Volkes Israel, 152); and this is held to be the more probable, as pointing to early totem worship!<br><br>Levi shared with Simeon the infamy incurred at Shechem by the treacherous slaughter of the Shechemites (<a href="/nasb/genesis/34.htm">Genesis 34</a>). Jacob's displeasure was expressed at the time (<a href="/genesis/34-3.htm">Genesis 34:3</a>), and the memory was still bitter to him in his last days (<a href="/genesis/49-5.htm">Genesis 49:5 f</a>). The fate predicted for the descendants of Simeon and Levi (<a href="/genesis/49-7.htm">Genesis 49:7</a>), in the case of the latter on account of the tribe's stedfast loyalty in a period of stern testing, was changed to a blessing (<a href="/exodus/32-26.htm">Exodus 32:26</a>). In later literature the action condemned by Jacob is mentioned with approval (Judith 9:2;). Levi was involved in his brothers' guilt with regard to Joseph (<a href="/nasb/genesis/37.htm">Genesis 37</a>), and shared their experiences in Egypt before Joseph made himself known (<a href="/nasb/genesis/42.htm">Genesis 42</a>; <a href="/nasb/genesis/43.htm">Genesis 43</a>; <a href="/nasb/genesis/43/44.htm">Genesis 43 44</a>; 45). Three sons, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari, were born to him in Canaan, and went down with the caravan to Egypt (<a href="/genesis/46-11.htm">Genesis 46:11</a>). Nothing further is known of the personal history of this patriarch. He died and found sepulture in Egypt. For the tribal history and possessions, see PRIESTS AND LEVITES.<br><br>W.
