Bible Person

Levi

Meaning: associated with him · Male · 1 cross reference

This Levi entry appears in Luke 3:29 as the father of Matthat and son of Simeon, not as Levi the son of Jacob or Levi/Matthew the disciple. He belongs to the long ancestral chain through which Luke presents the humanity of Christ. First appears in Luke 3:29.1

AI summary: This Levi matters because his single cross reference helps carry Luke's genealogy through otherwise quiet generations. The entry contributes to the evangelist's portrayal of Jesus as rooted in real human history rather than abstract myth. Taken together, the material presents this Levi as a genealogical figure in Luke's line of descent.1
