what is a levite according to the bible
Levite A Levite or Levi (/ˈliːvaɪt/, Hebrew: לֵוִי‎, Modern Levi Tiberian Lēwî) is a Jewish male whose descent is traced by tradition to Levi.[1] In Jewish tradition, a Levite is a member of the Israelite Tribe of Levi, descended from Levi, the third son of Jacob and Leah. As a surname, Levite status may be indicated by the term HaLevi, which consists of the Hebrew prefix "ה" Ha- ("the") plus Levi (Levite). The daughter of a Levite is a "Bat Levi" (Bat being Hebrew for "daughter").
