Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun Kishi, as it is a specific Hebrew name without a corresponding Greek translation in the Septuagint or New Testament texts. However, the concept of Levitical service and musical worship can be related to Greek terms used in the New Testament for worship and service, such as λειτουργία (leitourgia • service, ministry) and ψαλμός (psalmos • psalm, song).

Usage: The name Kishi appears in the context of genealogical records within the Old Testament. It is specifically mentioned in relation to the Levitical lineage.

Context: • Kishi is identified as a Levite, specifically from the family of Merari. He is noted as the father of Ethan, a prominent figure among the Levitical musicians appointed by King David for service in the house of the Lord. This connection is found in 1 Chronicles 6:44 (BSB): "Ethan son of Kishi, the son of Abdi, the son of Malluch."
• The mention of Kishi highlights the importance of the Levitical families in the religious and musical life of ancient Israel, particularly during the time of King David when the organization of temple worship was being established.
