1 Chronicles 25:29

Study note

Setting — The Chronicler records King David’s administrative decree assigning musical divisions to Levitical leaders during the organization of temple worship.

The words — The text specifies לְ/גִדַּ֔לְתִּי (le./gi.Dal.ti) = to/Giddalti alongside וְ/עֶשְׂרִים (ve./'es.Rim) = and/twenty to mark the sequential assignment of the twenty-second division.

The thread — This listing follows the identical structure in 1 Chronicles 25:28 and 1 Chronicles 25:30, where each named leader receives a fixed quota of sons and relatives.

Why it lands — The passage requires the reader to recognize the deliberate, counted allocation of personnel for sacred service rather than assuming a fluid or unrecorded roster.

Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
