A Bible describes Levi as a clever but fierce politician & soldier, prone to fits of anger. A Bible tells of while Shechem (a Hivite) had raped Levi's sister, Dinah. Whilst Shechem come to asking to exist as given Dinah as a married woman, Levi by having his brother Simeon agreed to a marriage on the condition that the Hivites become circumcised. Shechem agreed to this, however on a third day after a mass circumcision, when the Hivites were however sore, Levi & Simeon led an attack on the Hivite city & flushed all the Hivite men & appropriated their wealth (Gen 34). He was as well taking part in the plot to wipe out his half-brother Joseph. Jacob refused to produce Levi his heir in account of his anger (Gen 49:5).

Levi got tercet sons; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. Based on data from a Bible, Levi lived to become 137 years old (Ex 6:16).

A best known descendent of Levi was Moses, who received a law from either God on Mt. Sinai in the Book of Exodus. His brother, Aaron, became the number one Levite High-priest of Israel, called the Kohen - Gadol.

In a book of Malachi in the Bible, God explains how come he chose the humans of Levi to exist as his priest. It states when follows:

Quadruplet"Then you will know that I have sent this commandment to you, that My covenant may continue with Levi," says a LORD of hosts. Quintuplet"My covenant with him was one of life and peace, and I gave them to him as an object of reverence; so he revered Me and stood in awe of My name. 6"Confessedly instructiinside was within his mouth & unrighteousness was non witnessed on his lips; he walked by owning Us in peace & uprightness, & he turned several back from either iniquity.
