The Levites were set apart for religious duties and temple service in Israel. Gershom's descendants were responsible for specific tasks related to the tabernacle and later the temple, emphasizing the importance of maintaining worship and religious practices in Israel. Libni his son: Jahath his son: Zimmah his son: Persons / Places / Events 1. GershomThe firstborn son of Levi, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. Gershom's descendants were responsible for specific duties related to the tabernacle and later the temple. 2. Libni A descendant of Gershom, Libni is mentioned as part of the Levitical lineage. His name means "white" or "pure" in Hebrew, which may symbolize purity or dedication to God. 3. Jahath Another descendant in the line of Gershom, Jahath's name means "union" or "joining." He represents the continuation of the Levitical duties passed down through generations. 4. Zimmah The son of Jahath, Zimmah's name means "thought" or "purpose." His inclusion in the genealogy highlights the importance of each generation in maintaining the worship and service to God. Teaching Points The Importance of Heritage and LegacyThe genealogies in the Bible remind us of the importance of spiritual heritage. Each generation has a role in passing down faith and responsibilities to the next. Faithfulness in Service The descendants of Gershom were entrusted with specific duties. This teaches us the value of being faithful in the roles God assigns to us, no matter how seemingly small or large. God's Purpose in Every Generation Names like Zimmah, meaning "purpose," remind us that God has a purpose for each generation. We are called to seek and fulfill God's purpose in our lives. Unity in the Body of Christ Jahath's name, meaning "union," can inspire us to strive for unity within the church, working together to fulfill God's mission.(20, 21) The genealogy of the Gershonites in seven successive generations. It does not occur in the Pentateuch. This and the two following lists of Kohathites and Merarites are symmetrical in plan, but not in the number of names included. (20) Of Gershom.--Literally, to--i.e., belonging to Gershom. Libni his son.--See Numbers 3:21, "To Gershon, the clan of the Libnite, and the clan of the Shimeite; these are the clans of the Gershonite." The names Jahath, Zimmah, and Zerah recur in the line of Asaph, 1Chronicles 6:41-43 below (see the Note there). Jeaterai, in whom the present series culminates, is wholly unknown. At the time when the list was first drawn up, the name may have represented a famous chieftain or family. It has the ending of a patronymic or gentilic term, and perhaps should be read with different vowels, we 'Ithrai, or 'Ithri, "and the Ithrite" (comp. 'Ishai for Yishai), a clan of which came two of David's heroes (1Chronicles 11:40). Verses 20, 21. - (A) These verses apparently give seven lineal descendants of Gershom, through his eldest son Libni. The question is whether this list of seven is part of the longer list of thirteen from Gershom (vers. 39-43). terminating with Asaph; and it seems impossible to decide the question satisfactorily. From the occurrence of the name Shimei in this latter, though in the wrong place, viz. after Jahath in the descending order, instead of before him, some think, Keil and Zockler among them, that it is a line from Shimei, the brother of Libni, and second son of Gershom. If this be so, the occurrence of three names, the same and in the same order, is a thing to be remarked, though possible enough in itself. But if not, then either the names Joah, Iddo, Jeaterai, in the former list, must be interchangeable with Ethan, Adaiah, Ethni, respectively in the latter (a thing which the similarity of the Hebrew letters might render credible), while the Shimei of ver. 42 is omitted from ver. 20, and the Libni of ver. 20 from ver. 43; or the one list must pick up some links and leave others, and the other do likewise, whilst those taken the same by both are in the minority. This last supposition may be the more probable, though not free from difficulty. Zimmah. Beside the uncertainty of the identity of this Zimmah with the same name in ver. 42, it is very remarkable that we find a Zimmah, also father of a Joah, in 2 Chronicles 29:12; also in this same passage we find three other reproductions of a similar kind - father and son-of what have first been found in this sixth chapter, viz. "Mahath, son of Amasai" (ver. 35); "Joel, son of Azariah" (ver. 36); "Kish, son of Abdi" (ver. 44). It seems as though the individual descendant was quoted in these instances by the name of the ancestor at a certain point.Parallel Commentaries ...
