Notes

1 Chronicles 6:2–15

After the exile in Babylon, the Judean community needed to confirm the legitimate ancestry of the priests. This genealogy of Kohath linked the ancestors from the Pentateuch to the high priests up to Judah's exile in 586 BC. Other records connected the priests after the exile to this lineage (see Ezra 3:2; 7:1–6; Haggai 1:1). Not all high priests were included in this list.

1 Chronicles 6:1–48

This section gives the family histories of the three main groups of the tribe of Levi:

The high priests (1 Chronicles 6:1–15)
The three clans of Levites (1 Chronicles 6:16–30)
The singers (1 Chronicles 6:31–47)

Each family history starts with an introduction and then lists the names.

1 Chronicles 6:1–81

This section highlights the importance of the priestly tribe of Levi due to its central position in the genealogical lists.
