This tribe was set apart for religious duties and service in the tabernacle and later the temple. Levi is also the name of the apostle Matthew before his calling by Jesus (Mark 2:14).<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The tribe of Levi held a unique position among the Israelites. Unlike other tribes, they were not allocated a specific territory but were given cities scattered throughout Israel. Their primary role was religious service, including duties as priests and caretakers of the tabernacle and temple. This special status is rooted in their ancestor Levi, the third son of Jacob and Leah. In the New Testament, Levi is also associated with Matthew, the tax collector turned apostle, highlighting a transformation from a life of secular work to one of spiritual significance.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>the same as <a href="/greek/3017.htm">Leui</a>, q.v.<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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Levi. <p>A form of <a href="/greek/3017.htm">Leui</a>;
