Study note
Setting — The Chronicler compiles a genealogical record to organize Levitical temple service, placing this entry within the Merari clan's lineage.
The words — בְּנֵ֖י (bene) translates literally as "sons" or "descendants," and מְרָרִ֑י (Merari) identifies the patriarch whose line is being enumerated.
The thread — This lineage runs parallel to Exodus 6:19, Numbers 3:20, and 1 Chronicles 6:19, which consistently name Mahli and Mushi as the primary sons of Merari.
Why it lands — The text lists specific names to establish administrative continuity for temple duties, requiring the reader to recognize the structured preservation of Levitical service across generations.
