Levi
The third son of Jacob and Leah, and the patriarch of the priestly tribe of Israel.
Levi was the ancestor of the tribe set apart by God for service in the tabernacle and temple. While his early life was marked by his violent role in the events at Shechem, his descendants were later consecrated to the priesthood. The tribe of Levi serves as a central theme in the Pentateuch, representing the holiness and mediation required for Israel to dwell in God's presence.
