Strong's Lexicon Machli: Mahli Original Word: מַחְלִי Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root חָלָה (chalah), meaning "to be sick" or "to be weak." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Mahli, as it is a specific Hebrew personal name. However, the Greek term for Levites, Λευίτης (Leuites), could be considered related in the broader context of Levitical service. Usage: Mahli is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is used to refer to a descendant of Levi, specifically a son of Merari, one of the three sons of Levi. The name Mahli is associated with the Levitical lineage, which was set apart for religious duties and service in the tabernacle and later the temple. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, the Levites held a special role as the tribe dedicated to religious service. The descendants of Levi, including those of Mahli, were responsible for various duties related to the tabernacle and temple worship. The Levitical families were divided into clans, each with specific responsibilities. Mahli's descendants were part of the Merarite clan, which was tasked with the care and transportation of the tabernacle's structural components.
