Leviyi
to the Levites
A member of the tribe or lineage of Levi, one of the twelve tribes traditionally descending from Levi, son of Jacob/Israel. The term specifically marks tribal or genealogical affiliation, sometimes with implications of cultic/service roles, particularly in reference to those assigned non-priestly service in the sanctuary/temple; in later contexts, it may be used for persons occupying specific liturgical offices, but primarily denotes lineage.
