Original Word: מַחְלִי
Part of Speech: Adjective
Transliteration: Machliy

Definition: Mahli
Meaning: a Machlite

Word Origin: Derived from the root מָחַל (machal), which can mean "to be sick" or "to forgive."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Mahli, as it is a specific Hebrew personal name. However, the Greek term for Levites, Λευίτης (Leuites), could be considered related in the broader context of Levitical service.

Usage: Mahli is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is used to refer to a descendant of Levi, specifically a son of Merari, one of the three sons of Levi. The name Mahli is associated with the Levitical line, which was set apart for religious duties and service in the tabernacle and later the temple.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, the Levites held a special role as the tribe set apart for religious service. The descendants of Levi, including those of Mahli, were responsible for various duties related to the tabernacle and temple worship. The Merarites, Mahli's family line, were tasked with the care and transportation of the tabernacle's structural components during the Israelites' wilderness wanderings.
