Galal

Meaning: a roll · Male · 2 cross references

Galal is a Levite family figure preserved in the Jerusalem lists of Chronicles and Nehemiah. He belongs to the post-exilic worshiping community and the household structures that sustain it. First appears in 1 Chr 9:16.1

AI summary: Galal matters because the cross references place him among the Levites dwelling and serving in restored Jerusalem. Though quietly recorded, such names show that worship after exile depended on continuing family lines of service, song, and order. Taken together, the material presents Galal as a Levitical household figure whose place supports the daily religious life of the restored city.1
