Bukki

Meaning: void · Male · 3 cross references

Bukki is the priestly ancestor between Abishua and Uzzi in the high-priestly genealogy. He is one of the quiet but necessary links by which sacred succession is preserved. First appears in 1 Chr 6:5.1

AI summary: Bukki matters because the cross references preserve the continuity of the Aaronic line through the generations. Even without narrative action, his place is important because the legitimacy of later priestly leadership depends on remembered succession. Taken together, the material presents Bukki as a priestly ancestor whose place helps sustain the continuity of sacred office.1
