| Summary: | This article provides a summary of the many issues attending the study of the Levites as they appear throughout the Hebrew Bible. The matters of Levite origins, the figure of Moses, the relationship between the Levites and the Aaronide priests, prophecy, kingship, women and Levite status, text production, role in the cult of the Second Temple, and the wisdom tradition are revisited with an evaluation of earlier scholarship and new proposals for understanding these issues and their implications. |
