Eden

AI summary: This Eden matters because his single cross reference places him among the Levites who respond when Hezekiah restores the temple to proper use. The entry helps show that reform was carried out through named families and willing servants. Taken together, the material presents this Eden as a Merarite participant in Judah's liturgical renewal.1
