son of Ethni
The term "son of" in Hebrew is "ben," which signifies a direct lineage or descent. Ethni is a name that appears in the genealogical records of the Levites, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a clear record of priestly lineage. This highlights the meticulous care taken by the Israelites to preserve their heritage and the roles assigned by God. Ethni, though not widely mentioned elsewhere, represents the continuity of faith and duty passed down through generations, underscoring the importance of each link in the chain of God's chosen people.

son of Zerah
Zerah, meaning "brightness" or "rising," is a name that appears multiple times in the Bible, often associated with different individuals. In this context, Zerah is part of the Levitical genealogy, which is crucial for establishing the legitimacy of the priestly line. The name itself evokes imagery of light and hope, symbolizing the role of the Levites as spiritual leaders who illuminate the path of righteousness for the Israelites. This connection to light serves as a reminder of the divine calling and responsibility bestowed upon the Levitical priesthood.

son of Adaiah
Adaiah, meaning "Yahweh has adorned" or "Yahweh has witnessed," is another name that appears in various genealogies. The inclusion of Adaiah in this lineage highlights the divine favor and recognition bestowed upon this family line. The name suggests a sense of divine approval and blessing, reinforcing the idea that the priestly duties are not merely hereditary but are also a matter of divine appointment. This emphasizes the sacred nature of the priestly office and the need for those who serve to be both chosen and adorned by God for their holy tasks.
