His name, which may mean "wasting" or "emptying," appears in several contexts, primarily associated with the priestly lineage of Aaron.<br><br>1. <b>Genealogical Context</b>: Bukki is noted as a descendant of Aaron, the brother of Moses and the first high priest of Israel. He is listed in the genealogical records as the son of Abishua and the father of Uzzi. This lineage is significant as it traces the hereditary line of the high priesthood, which was a central institution in ancient Israelite religion. The genealogical record in <a href="/1_chronicles/6-4.htm">1 Chronicles 6:4-5</a> states: "Eleazar was the father of Phinehas, Phinehas was the father of Abishua, Abishua was the father of Bukki, and Bukki was the father of Uzzi."<br><br>2. <b>Priestly Lineage</b>: Bukki's position in the priestly lineage underscores the continuity and stability of the Aaronic priesthood. This lineage was crucial for maintaining the religious and ceremonial practices prescribed in the Mosaic Law. The high priesthood was not merely a hereditary office but also a spiritual role that required adherence to the covenantal laws and rituals established by God.<br><br>3. <b>Historical and Theological Significance</b>: The mention of Bukki in the genealogies serves to affirm the legitimacy and divine sanction of the priestly line. It highlights the importance of maintaining a pure and unbroken line of descent from Aaron, which was essential for the proper functioning of the tabernacle and later the temple services. This continuity is a testament to God's faithfulness in preserving His chosen people and their religious institutions.<br><br>4. <b>Cultural Context</b>: In the broader cultural and historical context of the ancient Near East, genealogies were vital for establishing identity, inheritance rights, and social status. For the Israelites, these records were also a means of preserving the sacred history and ensuring that the religious leadership remained within the divinely appointed family.<br><br>5. <b>Role in Israelite Society</b>: As a member of the priestly family, Bukki would have been part of the religious elite responsible for teaching the Law, performing sacrifices, and interceding for the people. The priests played a crucial role in mediating between God and the Israelites, and their genealogical records were meticulously maintained to ensure the integrity of their service.<br><br>In summary, Bukki is a significant figure within the biblical genealogies, representing the continuity of the Aaronic priesthood and the enduring legacy of the covenantal relationship between God and His people. His mention in the Scriptures underscores the importance of lineage, heritage, and divine appointment in the religious life of ancient Israel.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Bukki</span><p>void<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Bukki</span><p>(<i>wasting</i>). <ol> <li>Son of Abishua and father of Uzzi fifth from Aaron in the line of the high priests in (<a href="/1_chronicles/6-5.htm">1 Chronicles 6:5</a>; <a href="/1_chronicles/6-5.htm">6:5,51</a>) (Authorized Version), and in the genealogy of Ezra.
