What Does 1 Chronicles 23:21 Mean?
The record turns to the third branch of Levi, the sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. Mahli's own sons are named, Eleazar and Kish. The Merarites had long carried the framework and pillars of the tabernacle.
Each of Levi's three sons receives full attention, so that the whole tribe is gathered into the service of the temple. No branch is favored at another's expense. The Lord builds His house from all His people together, joining diverse families into one purpose, that the work might stand complete and lacking nothing.
