However, the Greek term "Λευίτης" (Levitēs, Strong's G3019) refers to Levites in general.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "Gereshunni" refers to the descendants of Gershon, the eldest son of Levi. The Gershonites were one of the three main divisions of the Levites, who were assigned specific duties related to the tabernacle and later the temple. Their responsibilities included the care and transportation of the tabernacle's curtains, coverings, and other fabric elements.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of ancient Israel, the Levites were set apart for religious duties and service to God. The Gershonites, as part of the Levitical tribe, played a crucial role in the worship and religious practices of the Israelites. They were not given a specific territory like the other tribes but were instead allocated cities within the territories of other tribes. This arrangement emphasized their unique role as servants of the tabernacle and later the temple.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a
