CONTENTS
Prosecuting the genealogy of Israel's son, the tribe of Levi is made the subject of this chapter, and particularly with an eye to the priesthood, in the person of Aaron and his sons.
The tribe of Levi, in point of rank and importance, stood very high, for God set it apart, on account of the priesthood, for himself. Perhaps it is for this reason, the relation of this tribe, in the registry of it, is more minutely attended to. If the Reader will consult Ezra 2:62-63, he will perceive how very tenacious Israel was, concerning the relationship among the priests.
