1 Chronicles 6:1-3 -

EXPOSITION

The tribe of Levi is now taken. The first three verses prepare the way for running rapidly down the line of high priest descent, from Aaron's son Eleazar to Jehozadak, who is reached at the twenty-fifth name from Levi, though not necessarily the twenty-fifth generation, as there appear ( 1 Chronicles 6:11-13 ) to be some omissions. Nor are all the names which are given those of high priests, for the genealogy of Jehozadak did not always pass though such.
