1 Chronicles 25:30

the twenty-third to Mahazioth, his sons, and his brothers—12 in all;

Berean Standard Bible

Study note

Setting — The Chronicler records the allocation of temple duties at the moment of organizing the Levitical worship personnel.

The words — The phrase שָׁלֹשׁ וְ/עֶשְׂרִים (sh.lo.Shah ve/'es.Rim) literally reads "three and twenty," and מַחֲזִיאֹת (Ma.cha.zi.'ot) identifies the family head receiving this specific division.

The thread — This verse continues the numbered listing of Levitical families assigned in groups of twelve, a structural pattern that extends from 1 Chronicles 25:1 through verse 31.

Why it lands — It requires the reader to note the precise accounting of each family's contribution and recognize the deliberate order established for temple service.
