Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew term מוּשִׁי (Mushi) as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context. However, the Greek Septuagint may use transliterations or equivalent terms to refer to Levitical families, but these are not directly linked to a specific Strong's Greek number.

Usage: The term "Mushite" is used to refer to the descendants of Mushi, who was a son of Merari, one of the sons of Levi. The Mushites were part of the Levitical families responsible for various duties in the tabernacle and later the temple.

Context: • Mushi is mentioned in the genealogical records of the Levites. As a son of Merari, Mushi's descendants, known as Mushites, were part of the Levitical clan responsible for the care and transportation of the tabernacle during the Israelites' wilderness wanderings. The Mushites, along with the other Levitical families, were assigned specific roles in the service of the tabernacle, which later extended to the temple in Jerusalem.
• In 1 Chronicles 6:19, the genealogy of the Levites lists Mushi as one of the sons of Merari: "The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. These are the clans of the Levites according to their families."
• The Mushites are also mentioned in the context of the division of Levitical duties in 1 Chronicles 23:21 and 24:26, where the descendants of Mushi are listed among those serving in the temple.
• The role of the Mushites, like other Levitical families, was crucial in maintaining the religious and ceremonial life of Israel, ensuring the proper function of worship and adherence to the laws given to Moses.
