Study note
Setting — The text is a genealogical record listing the descendants of the Levitical clans, specifically tracing the line of Merari through Mahli and Mushi, and noting Jaaziah's son Beno.
The words — בְּנֵי (bene) and בְּנוֹ (bĕnô) both derive from the root בֵּן (son), with the former functioning as a construct plural meaning "sons of" and the latter as a possessive singular "his son."
The thread — This listing of Mahli and Mushi as the sons of Merari reappears in 1 Chronicles 23:21, while the mention of Beno connects to the expanded list of Jaaziah's descendants in 1 Chronicles 24:27.
Why it lands — The text requires the reader to recognize the precise transmission of Levitical lineage and the specific familial connections within the Merari clan.
