📚 Historical Context
During King David's reorganization of temple worship, the chronicler was listing the various Levitical families and their duties. Moses, though from the tribe of Levi himself, was primarily known as Israel's great leader and lawgiver rather than a priest. His sons Gershom and Eliezer were formally recognized as belonging to the Levitical tribe that would serve in the temple.
