However, the concept of Levitical service and priesthood 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 and Levitical themes in the broader biblical narrative. Usage: Amashsay is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Context: Amashsay is mentioned in the context of the Levitical genealogies and the organization of temple service. He appears in 1 Chronicles 6:35 (BSB), where he is listed among the Levites. The passage reads: "The son of Elkanah, the son of Joel, the son of Azariah, the son of Zephaniah, the son of Tahath, the son of Assir, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, the son of Israel." This genealogy places Amashsay within the Levitical line, specifically among the descendants of Kohath, who were responsible for the care of the sanctuary and its sacred objects. The mention of Amashsay highlights the importance of lineage and the hereditary nature of Levitical duties in ancient Israel. His inclusion in the genealogical record underscores the continuity and stability of the Levitical priesthood, which played a crucial role in the religious life of the Israelite community.
