1 | Samuel serving where he shouldn | 1 Sam 1:1 | MJH | 213361 | ||
Samuel was an Ephraimite (of the tribe of Ephraim). Yet, we see him ministering before the LORD in the Tabernacle. His famous vision comes to him while he is sleeping where the Ark of the LORD is. He is clearly in the Tabernacle and serving in some way (with a linen ephod) in the Tabernacle. My question is why? He isn't from the line of Aaron, so my understanding is that he shouldn't be in the Tabernacle itself. He is also not of the tribe of Levi, so he shouldn't be serving as a help either. I understand that Israel was corrupt at this point and pretty much nothing was being done right, but this was God's chosen servant (soon to be). Any comments? BTW, I am "listening" my way through the history books and I might have some questions like this for a while. They may be minor, but of interest to me none the less. MJH |

Hi MJH, Good question, and good to hear from you again. Samuel's father was Elkanah, a descendant of the tribe of Levi (1 Chronicles 6:26,33). In 1Sam 1:1 in my Bible I have underlined the term “Mount Ephraim”, and in the margin wrote: geography, not genealogy. Lord's blessings. keliy |

Wow, thanks for replying. I would not have thought to look up Chronicles. I just assumed he was from Levi until I read this week. To see it says he is in Chronicles makes sense. MJH |
