The Tribe of Levi

Levi was the third son of Jacob and Leah. The LORD appointed Aaron, the brother of Moses and his sons to minister unto the LORD in the priest’s office. At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day.

The Tribe of Benjamin

Benjamin is the son of Jacob and Rachel. Jacob journeyed to Bethel near Ephrath when Rachel had gone into hard labor. Rachel knew she was having a son, so she named him Benoni meaning son of my sorrow. Jacob renamed him Benjamin, meaning son of my right hand, after the death of Rachel. Rachel died and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.
