September 22, 2013 – 1 Chronicles 25
We see another group of names that are assigned to different things in the liturgy. It is hard to find much to say about this. I forget the number of Levites that they said there were, but in was in the tens of thousands. When you have that many people that are supposed to serve the Temple, it makes sense that you would have to delegate this many groups. It also makes sense to divide them into their different families rather than any other method of division.
It does amaze you how these families spread. Imagine, all of these names are families, all stemming from Levi, one man, and all of Israel stems from his father Jacob. One man with 12 sons just grew and grew. It makes you wonder how any of us are not related in some way shape or form. It makes you think about how you treat the person sitting next to you or the man with the sign on the side of the road.
