However, the concept of priestly service and lineage can be related to Greek terms used in the New Testament, such as ἱερεύς (hiereus, Strong's Greek 2409) for "priest" and λευίτης (Leuites, Strong's Greek 3019) for "Levite." These terms reflect the continuation of priestly roles and functions in the context of the early Christian community. Usage: The name Jachzerah appears in the genealogical records of the Bible, specifically in the context of the Levitical families. Context: • Jachzerah is mentioned in the genealogical lists of the Levites, a tribe set apart for religious duties in ancient Israel. The name appears in 1 Chronicles 9:12, where Jachzerah is listed as a descendant of the priestly line. This passage highlights the importance of maintaining detailed records of lineage, especially for those serving in the temple. The Levites, including Jachzerah, played a crucial role in the religious life of Israel, responsible for various duties in the temple, including music, teaching, and maintaining the sacred spaces. The mention of Jachzerah underscores the continuity and faithfulness of the Levitical service through generations.
