From the Levites: The Levites were a tribe set apart for religious duties and temple service in Israel. They did not receive a territorial inheritance like the other tribes but were given cities to live in throughout Israel. Their role was crucial in maintaining the spiritual life of the nation, and they were responsible for teaching the Law, leading worship, and performing sacrifices. This context highlights the importance of the Levites in the post-exilic community as they helped re-establish religious practices in Jerusalem.

Together with Shabbethai and Jozabad (ver. 16), he had the superintendence of the outward business of the house of God; or, in other words, of its worldly affairs and money matters. As in the Christian Church a special order was appointed "to serve tables" (Acts 6:2-5), so in the Jewish the secular business of the temple was intrusted to a few carefully-selected persons of the inferior order of the ministry, who were known to have a special capacity for such matters (see 1 Chronicles 26:29).
