Biblical Reference:
Be'no is mentioned in the genealogical records of the Levites in the Old Testament. The reference to Be'no is found in 1 Chronicles 24:26-27, which details the divisions of the Levites for their service in the temple.

Scriptural Context:
In 1 Chronicles 24, King David organizes the Levitical priesthood into divisions for the purpose of temple service. This chapter outlines the descendants of Aaron and the distribution of duties among the Levites. The passage reads: "The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Jaaziah: Beno." (1 Chronicles 24:26-27). The name Be'no appears in the context of the sons of Jaaziah, a descendant of Merari, one of the three sons of Levi.

Genealogical Significance:
Be'no is listed as a descendant of Merari, one of the three main Levitical families, alongside the descendants of Gershon and Kohath. The Merarites were responsible for specific duties related to the tabernacle and later the temple, including the care and transportation of the tabernacle's frames, bars, pillars, and bases (Numbers 3:36-37). The mention of Be'no in the genealogical record underscores the importance of maintaining detailed family lineages for the purpose of assigning temple duties.

Name Meaning and Interpretation:
The name Be'no is somewhat enigmatic, as it is not accompanied by additional context or narrative in the biblical text. In Hebrew, "Be'no" could be interpreted as "his son," which has led some scholars to suggest that it might not be a proper name but rather a textual note indicating lineage. However, in the context of 1 Chronicles 24, it is treated as a proper name, contributing to the list of Levitical families.

Theological Implications:
The inclusion of Be'no in the genealogical records highlights the meticulous care with which the Israelites preserved their tribal and familial identities, especially concerning the Levites, who were set apart for sacred duties. This attention to detail reflects the broader biblical theme of God's order and structure within His chosen people. The Levites, including the descendants of Be'no, played a crucial role in the spiritual life of Israel, serving as mediators between God and the people.

Historical and Cultural Context:
The division of the Levites into specific roles and responsibilities was essential for the functioning of the temple, which was the center of worship and religious life in ancient Israel. The genealogical records, such as those mentioning Be'no, served not only as historical documentation but also as a means of ensuring that the sacred duties were carried out by those who were divinely appointed through their lineage.

Conclusion:
While Be'no is a minor figure in the biblical narrative, his mention in the genealogical records of 1 Chronicles underscores the importance of lineage and the organization of temple service in ancient Israel. The Levites, including the descendants of Be'no, were integral to the worship and religious practices of the Israelites, reflecting the order and structure ordained by God for His people.369. ayin -- nothing, nought
