Context: • Machli is mentioned in the genealogies of the Levites. He is identified as a son of Merari, who was one of the three sons of Levi, making Machli a grandson of Levi. This places him within the Levitical line, which was set apart for religious duties and service in the tabernacle and later the temple.
• The descendants of Machli, known as the Mahlites, were part of the Levitical families responsible for various aspects of the tabernacle service. They were specifically assigned tasks related to the care and transportation of the tabernacle's structure and its furnishings during the Israelites' wilderness wanderings.
• Machli is mentioned in several genealogical records, including Exodus 6:19, Numbers 3:20, and 1 Chronicles 6:19, 29. These passages highlight his role within the Levitical family tree and underscore the importance of his lineage in the context of Israel's religious history.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, Exodus 6:19 states: "The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi. These were the clans of the Levites according to their families."
