Levi

About

The priestly tribe, set apart for service of the tabernacle and temple. Did not receive a contiguous territorial inheritance but was given forty-eight cities throughout the land (Numbers 35; Joshua 21). Includes the Aaronic priesthood.

Simeon and Levi are brothers. Their swords are weapons of violence. My soul, don't come into their council. My glory, don't be united to their assembly; for in their anger they killed men. In their self-will they hamstrung cattle. Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel. I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
