1 CHRONICLES 9:31 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the set office over the things that were made in the pans.”
The enumeration of those responsible for baking bread for priestly use indicates specialized cultic functions and the genealogical basis of levitical baking responsibilities. The genealogical organization of bread-baking duties demonstrates the principle that levitical functions required genealogically verified personnel. The enumeration of bakers indicates the systematic approach to post-exilic temple organization and the distribution of cultic responsibilities. The detailed documentation of baking duties demonstrates the theological importance of maintaining careful control over materials used in cultic functions. The careful enumeration of personnel responsible for baking contributes to the comprehensive genealogical portrait of post-exilic levitical organization.
