1 Chronicles 6:41

Study note

Setting — The chronicler records a Levitical genealogy without dialogue, listing descendants in a continuous historical register. The words — בֶּן (ben) literally means “son of,” and עֲדַיָּה (Adaiah) denotes a proper name meaning “Yahweh has added.” The thread — 1 Chronicles 6:41 extends a strict paternal lineage that links back to Kohath and forward to the temple singers. Why it lands — The text requires a reader to track documented ancestral continuity rather than seek immediate theological application.

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.
