Study note
Setting — The chronicler records a genealogical list of Levitical priestly clans, continuing the administrative division of temple duties established under David.
The words — לַ/יִּצְהָרִ֣י (la/i.yitz.ha.Ri) translates literally as "for the Izharites," and שְׁלֹמ֔וֹת (she.lo.Mot) names the clan head Shelomoth.
The thread — This lineage connects to 1 Chronicles 23:18, which lists Shelomith as the first son of Izhar, and traces back to Exodus 6:21 and Numbers 3:19, where Izhar appears as a son of Kohath.
Why it lands — The text demands precise tracking of familial lines to verify priestly eligibility and maintain the structural order of Levitical service.
