Day 122 of the podcast, reading 1 Chronicles 5-6 NET, read along at:

https://netbible.org/bible/1+Chronicles+5-6/

This is day 122 of our journey.

Continuing the listing of the tribes of Israel, today we are given the family names for the tribes on the east of the Jordan, in Gilead: Reuben, Gad, and half Manasseh.  Following this we have an extensive listing of the tribe of Levi, including a full succession of the high priestly line.  God is emphasizing the importance of this line and providing them a full connection back to Aaron.

Join me in 1 Chronicles 5-6 for more names and people in God's nation.

Key verses:

1 Chronicles 5:22

Because God fought for them, they killed many of the enemy. They dispossessed the Hagrites and lived in their land until the exile.  

1 Chronicles 6:1

(5:27) The sons of Levi:Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
