Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.
Concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named or counted with the tribe of Levi as part of the genealogies. The book containing this record means Words of Days or Records of Events, forms one book in the Jewish canon, and deals more fully with the kingdom of Judah. Its first part parallels the last part of Samuel, and this verse stands in chapters 21-23 in the prosperous years of David's reign.
Its genealogies supply what was left out of Samuel and Kings, take knowledge of the preceding books for granted, and give many new and important facts. The great number of such genealogies met the need felt after the exile for records by which land would be assigned to its hereditary owners. They likewise provided for temple service to be taken up by those whose hereditary duty it was.
