who is a levite according to the bible
Levite A Levite (/ˈliːvaɪt/, Hebrew: לֵוִי‬, Modern Levi, Tiberian Lēwî) is a Jewish male descended patrilineally from the Tribe of Levi.[2] The Tribe of Levi descended from Levi, the third son of Jacob and Leah. The surname HaLevi, which consists of the Hebrew definite article "ה" Ha- ("the") plus Levi (Levite) is not conclusive regarding being a Levite; a titular use of HaLevi indicates being a Levite. The daughter of a Levite is a "Bat Levi" (Bat being Hebrew for "daughter").
