Berean Strong's Lexicon Mushi: Mushi Original Word: מוּשִׁי Word Origin: Derived from the root מוּשׁ (mush), meaning "to depart" or "to remove." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Mushi, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun. However, the Greek term for Levites (Λευίτης, Leuites) could be considered related in the broader context of Levitical duties. Usage: Mushi is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to a descendant of Levi. The name is associated with the Merarite branch of the Levites, who were responsible for certain duties related to the tabernacle and later the temple. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, the Levites were a tribe set apart for religious duties. The Merarites, one of the three main Levitical families, were tasked with the care and transportation of the tabernacle's structural components, such as the frames, bars, pillars, and bases. Mushi, as a descendant of Merari, would have been part of this important service. The Levites played a crucial role in maintaining the spiritual life of Israel, and their genealogies were meticulously recorded to ensure the proper fulfillment of their duties.
