Old Testament
Hakkoz
A priestly descendant whose line served in the seventh division of the temple service.
Hakkoz was a priest whose family line was established by King David to serve in the seventh division of the temple. His descendants were later challenged during the post-exilic period because they could not find their genealogical records, leading to their temporary exclusion from the priesthood. This account highlights the importance of priestly lineage and the strict requirements for temple service in the restoration era.
